American rapper Cardi B has made history with her January 2020 Vogue Magazine cover.
The Grammy winner becomes the first female rapper to grace the cover of U.S. Vogue. The 27-year-old cradles her daughter Kulture while wearing a red polka-doted Michael Kors dress and Jimmy Choo heels for the magazine’s January 2020 issue.
In the unfiltered interview, she reflects on her whirlwind year. “This whole year has just been a lot for me. I feel like people are just so tired of me winning,” says Cardi. “I will look for my name on Twitter, and it’s like hate tweets, hate tweets, hate tweets.”
The Hustlers star also opens up about motherhood and raising her baby girl. “If my daughter wants to go to college, that’s okay, but I just want her to be an owner of whatever the fuck she wants to own. Just be an owner. Be the boss,” says Cardi, who is thinking about co-designing a children’s clothing line with husband Offset.
The couple broke off their relationship in December 2018 after Offset cheated on her, but reunited early this year. She revealed that they prayed on their reunion and had priests pray on their marriage.
“Me and my husband, we prayed on it. We had priests come to us. And we just came to an understanding like, bro, it’s really us against the world,” she says. “He has my back for everything, I have his back for everything, so when you cheat, you’re betraying the person that has your back the most. Why would you do that? We have come to a clear understanding. For me, monogamy is the only way. I’ll beat your ass if you cheat on me.”
Cardi is now feeling the pressure as she records her sophomore album, the follow-up to her 2018 debut Invasion of Privacy. “So it’s scary because it’s like, now you got to top your first album, and then it’s like, damn. I wonder if people are gonna relate to the new things, to the new life, to the new shit that I gotta talk about now.”
On being a motherhood the ‘Bodak Yellow’ rapper said, “I could shake my ass, I could be the most ratchet-est person ever, I could get into a fight tomorrow, but I’m still a great mom. All the time I’m thinking about my kid. I’m shaking my ass, but at the same time I’m doing business, I’m on the phone with my business manager saying, make sure that a percentage of my check goes to my kid’s trust. I give my daughter so much love, and I’m setting her up for a future. I want to tell her that a lot of the shit that I have done in life—no matter what I did, knowing that I wanted to have kids made me go harder to secure a good future for my kids.”
The former stripper performed for the first time in Africa. She was in Nigeria and Ghana over the weekend. As reported by The Sauce, she was having a good time at a strip club in Nigeria, twerking and throwing money on strippers.
