Cardi B covers 2020 Vogue magazine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Cardi B made history as the first female rapper to cover the United States cover of\u00a0Vogue<\/em>. <\/p>\n

The shoot, which was photographed by Annie Leibovitz, features Cardi in a red and white, a Michael Kors dress and matching red Jimmy Choo pumps. <\/p>\n

The rapper is holding her daughter,\u00a0Kulture. She is one of four celebrity mothers who posed alongside their children for January\u2019s issue. <\/p>\n

While Cardi may look fabulous and fierce on the cover, in her interview with the magazine, she gets candid about struggling with the pros and cons of fame while being a mother and wife.<\/p>\n

In the interview, she talks about how being a mom brings her back to why she\u2019s even in the industry in the first place. \u201cBeing a mom \u2014 how can I say it? Things are a little bit harder to balance, but it\u2019s good for the mental,\u201d Cardi shared. \u201cLike, if I\u2019m playing with my daughter, I forget about the issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

SEE THIS: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cardi also gets personal about the highs and lows of her marriage to rapper,\u00a0Offset. \u201cWhen me and my husband got into our issues\u2014you know, he cheated and everything\u2014and 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,\u201d Cardi explains. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s real-life shit. If you love somebody and you stop being with them, and you\u2019re depressed and social media is telling you not to talk to that person because he cheated, you\u2019re not really happy on the inside until you have the conversation. Then, if you get back with them, it\u2019s 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\u2019s including everything,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Cardi B is the\u00a0first solo woman to win\u00a0a Grammy for Best Rap Album. \u2018Bodak Yellow,\u2019 her breakout single from 2017, became the first number one hit by a solo female rapper, since Lauryn Hill\u2019s \u2018Doo Wop (That Thing).\u2019 She is currently working on her second album, which is scheduled for release early 2020.<\/p>\n
