Cardi B commands the cover of Vogue Arabia and, true to form, she has plenty to say.
Beyond serving high fashion for the September 2026 issue, the Rap titan opens up about the success of her blockbuster tour, building her burgeoning beauty empire, navigating fame, and the inspiration behind new single ‘AH HA.’
Perhaps most excitingly, Cardi confirms that she is already working on her next album, making clear that there’s more music on the way following last year’s chart-topping ‘Am I The Drama?’
Full story below…
Speaking to Vogue Arabia, the 33-year-old reflected on a whirlwind period that has seen her music, touring, fashion, and business ventures firing on all cylinders.
Cardi on ‘AH HA’
Fresh from launching ‘AH HA,’ which debuted at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100, Cardi made clear that its lyrical venom isn’t reserved for one specific person. Instead, the fiery track takes aim at the wider circle of folk convinced they occupy space in her mind.
“This is for everyone who thinks I’m worried about them. I don’t care about you.”
Indeed, the Bronx native pointed to jealousy coming from all directions, including women who believe she wants their partners and people she feels wrongly regard themselves as her equals.
Cardi on Touring & What’s Next Musically
There appears to be little interest in another lengthy musical hiatus. Vogue confirms that Cardi is already working on her next studio album, news that follows her own recent teasing of fresh material.
The next chapter follows the 35-date ‘Little Miss Drama Tour’, which sold more than 450,000 tickets across North America. Cardi admitted that mounting her first arena trek came with a steep learning curve, particularly when production conversations became technical.
“Sometimes they would come and talk to me about screens, measurements and stuff like that and I thought, ‘What the hell is that?’”
“In the end I just followed my instinct.”
Cardi on Building Grow Good
Music isn’t her only focus. Cardi also dished on Grow Good, the haircare company she spent three years developing before its launch this year.
The star says the venture grew from her own obsession with restoring and maintaining healthy hair. And the early response has been huge, with the line selling out within 45 minutes and its Get Rich hair mask repeatedly disappearing in minutes.
“I’m very excited, you know, because I feel like people can trust me. And that’s what I want from them. I want them to trust me. I take pride in selling them something that’s good. I’m not just putting my name on products because I’m a celebrity.”
For Cardi, trust appears to be the currency. And between a flourishing business, another album already being crafted, and the ‘AH HA’ video arriving imminently, she’s clearly keeping her foot firmly on the gas.
Cardi on Being Inspired by Raven-Symoné
“I always had a passion for fashion and ever since I was a younger girl, I loved the style of Raven-Symoné. I knew that I had to dress differently. Everyone around me was wearing Jordans and jeans and I just wanted to dress in bold colours like Raven. People might think that I don’t take a lot of things seriously. When it comes to dressing, when it comes to clothing, when it comes to putting everything together – from the hair to the feet – I don’t play. Everything counts.”
