Cardi B has just become the first cover star of The FADER’s annual Summer Music Issue.

In the cover story, written by Rawiya Kameir, Cardi shares what she admires most about Migos member and collaborator Offset, how her personality can sometimes overshadow her work and talent, struggles with doubt and guilt and much more. The story also serves as the official announcement of her signing to Atlantic Records, which was unofficially reported by TheJasmineBrand back in late February.

The print edition of the 2017 Summer Music Issue hits newsstands July 25. You can read Cardi’s full cover story with The FADER here.
