Cardi B Makes History
Cardi B has made history! She has become the first female rapper to cover U.S. Vogue. The rapper and her daughter Kulture graced the Annie Leibovitz cover, with Cardi wearing a red polka-dot Michael Kors dress with Jimmy Choo heels. Inside, Cardi discussed marriage, motherhood, feminism and more.
On the decision to take husband Offset back after he cheated, she said, “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. 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 a** if you cheat on me.”
She added, ” . . . A lot of people were so mad at me; a lot of women felt disappointed in me. But it’s real-life sh*t. If you love somebody and you stop being with them, and you’re depressed and social media is telling you not to talk to that person because he cheated, you’re not really happy on the inside until you have the conversation.”
On being a mom, she said, “I could shake my a**, 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 sh*t 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.”
