This year is officially Cardi B’s.

The NY hitmaker, who earned herself her very first #1 hit with “Bodak Yellow” earlier this year, is the latest to cover Rolling Stone Magazine. This accomplishment comes just a few days after Cardi got engaged to Migos member Offset, which happened on stage at Powerhouse in Philly.

For her latest cover story, Cardi spoke on her love for Offset, the success of “Bodak Yellow”, growing up rough, beating the odds and much more. See some excerpts below and read the full story here.

On growing up rough

“It was just very sad. It was very frustrating – you have to pay for everything. When I finally got a job at Amish Market, I had to debate, ‘Do I wanna go to class or do I wanna finish my shift?'”

On vibing with Offset

“We polish each other,” she says, noting they confer on music-biz questions. “I could always ask him, ‘Do you think this is OK to do? Do you think I’m getting tricked?'”

On her future

“I need to make money for my family and my future family,” she says. “I’m not a YOLO person. I think 25 years from now. I think about my future kids, future husband, future house.”

On her upcoming music

“I got six, seven solid songs that I like, but I wonder if a month from now, I’m going to change my mind.” All the looming expectations, she admits, are making it harder to come up with songs. “It’s not as fun to do music,” she says. “My mind doesn’t flow as free ’cause I have so much on my mind.”

On staying focused

“I cannot turn my life back around,” she muses. “I’m already a public figure, I’m famous. … It’s like, I might as well keep it going, might as well make the money. People are always going to talk shit – I cannot make myself unfamous.”
