Cover No. ✌🏽 what it do! I spoke to Cardi on the night of my dad’s birthday — actually an hour right before I released my project Shut Up & Write. It’s so crazy to even process because l wasn’t prepared to celebrate on my dad’s birthday this year. I didn’t think I would drop a project nor let alone be working on a cover story the same day as his birthday. To channel all of my creative energy to conduct a fire interview with Cardi and to release a music project an hour after is God’s work, not mine. Much love to Cardi for being super candid and such a free spirit during our chat. Her rawness and authenticity are what makes her an undeniable force in this sacred thing of ours. And much love to my Billboard family for entrusting me with this opportunity and allowing me to pen our Women In Music cover. This legit feels like my second championship and to do it on the biggest stage in 2020 feels so fucking good lol. #cardib #billboard #womanoftheyear #hiphop #rap #cardi #coverboycarl #2020vision
