Cardi B is kicking off 2020 on the cover of ‘Vogue’s January issue with her 17-month-old daughter, Kulture! The rapper is stunning in a red dress with white polka dots, while holding her baby girl who’s pictured smiling in a pair of little red shorts!
Cardi B is “unfiltered, unapologetic, and unbowed” in her new cover interview with Vogue. The rapper, 27, covers the magazine’s January 2020 issue — which celebrates four fearless creative forces, role models, and mothers with a quartet of covers — alongside her 17-month-old daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus. The mother-daughter duo are the ultimate pair in a series of photos, one of which shows Cardi holding Kulture close with a New York City skyline in the background of a lavish bedroom.
Cardi opens up about motherhood, a new album, the scrutiny of ever-escalating fame and her marriage to Migos rapper, Offset in the candid interview. She goes on to explain that motherhood has allowed her to be more focused and less concerned with any negative outside noise. “Being a mom — how can I say it? Things are a little bit harder to balance, but it’s good for the mental,” she explained. “Like, if I’m playing with my daughter, I forget about the issues.” Cardi gave birth to her first child with Offset in July 2018.
The “Press” rapper also dives deep into her once tumultuous relationship with Offset. The couple split in December 2018, after the Atlanta rapper cheated on Cardi, but they reunited early this year. Cardi explained why she chose to stay with Offset and work through their issues.

“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,” she admitted, explaining, “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.”
At the end of the day “everybody has issues,” Cardi said, noting, “I believe in forgiveness. I prayed on it.” — Something both she and Offset did together. “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,” Cardi explained. “For me, monogamy is the only way. I’ll beat your ass if you cheat on me.”
