Like, my life has been a fucking movie right now.\u201d I ask her what\u2019s going on. <em>\u201cEverything!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The last time I\u2019d seen Cardi, she was in her 20s. We both were. I was writing my first cover story for another magazine, a few months before the release of <em>Invasion of Privacy,<\/em> her landmark first album that, among other accolades, became the highest-certified female rap album of the century, and won her a Grammy for Rap Album of the Year. We had lunch at Tao, a see-and-be-seen restaurant in Manhattan, where I wrote in my notebook that she seemed particularly hungry and grumpy, and didn\u2019t touch any alcohol. How strange, I thought. A few days later, she announced she was pregnant with her first daughter.<\/p>\n<p>In the time since, I note to her when we sit down again, she\u2019s gone from being a star to a total phenomenon, a mainstay in the culture, the hottest rapper to have on a feature, but, most notably, she\u2019s had <em>mad kids.<\/em> Right now, they\u2019re at home in New Jersey, but they were on Cardi\u2019s mind. (During a break, Cardi could be heard responding confoundedly to her eldest child, Kulture, who was talking to her over FaceTime: \u201cDid you call me <em>bro?!\u201d)<\/em><\/p>\n<aside aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PullQuoteEmbedWrapper-sc-efqGLV dUzuPW\" data-testid=\"pullquote-embed-center\">\n<div class=\"PullQuoteEmbedContent-sc-fzpWpD HaRcE\">\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m not feeling c*nt, because of these f*cking Uggs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>In addition to figuring out how she can gyrate in a chair without losing her balance, she\u2019s also trying to decide what to do with her children while she\u2019s on tour. Though Kulture accompanied her for several weeks on her first tour, so much has changed since then. \u201cKulture\u2019s in school, and her school don\u2019t play that shit,\u201d Cardi says. We\u2019re both leaning up against the makeup counter in her dressing room, a mess of fruit and candy and products from her Grow-Good line. She\u2019s less concerned about Wave, a very swag four-year-old and her second child with her ex, Offset, missing class, but Wave takes his extracurricular sports very seriously, and Cardi doesn\u2019t want him to miss out on something that he loves so that he can sit on a bus with her. Not to mention that the buses always smell like gas, which is not fun for anybody, least of all for kids. \u201cSo I just be like, How the fuck am I gonna make this shit fucking work?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still, she\u2019s the Cardi we\u2019ve come to love and expect: wickedly funny, quick to laugh, able to make fun of herself. \u201cI got a lot of shit on my mind, so I\u2019m just fucking talking.
