Cardi B has made history as the first female rapper to cover Vogue magazine.
The ‘I Like It‘ crooner is the fourth cover star of the January 2020 edition as Vogue celebrates four fearless creative forces, role models, and mothers with four individual covers.
She talks about how being a mom brings her back to why she’s even in the industry in the first place. “Being a mom — how can I say it? Things are a little bit harder to balance, but it’s good for the mental,” Cardi shared. “Like, if I’m playing with my daughter, I forget about the issues.”

Cardi also gets personal about the highs and lows of her marriage to rapper, Offset.
“When me and my husband got into our issues—you know, he cheated and everything—and I decided to stay with him and work together with him, a lot of people were so mad at me; a lot of women felt disappointed in me,” Cardi explains.
“But it’s real-life shit. 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. Then, if you get back with them, it’s like, how could you? You let all of us down. People that be in marriages for years, when they say till death do us part, they not talking about little arguments like if you leave the fridge open. That’s including everything.”
Cardi B is the first solo woman to win a Grammy for Best Rap Album.
