Cardi B Graces the Cover of Vogue Arabia’s September Issue

Cardi B is continuing her reign as a fashion icon, landing the cover of Vogue Arabia’s prestigious September 2026 issue. The Grammy-winning rapper opens up in the accompanying interview about her lifelong passion for style, her role as a mother, and the inspiration behind her latest music. 

In her interview, Cardi B discusses how her fashion-forward approach was inspired by watching Raven-Symoné as a young girl, which set her apart from the typical jeans-and-Jordans style of her peers.  This dedication to creating a unique image has since made her a favorite among high-fashion designers. “When it comes to dressing, when it comes to putting everything together, from the hair to the feet, I don’t play. Everything counts,” she told the magazine. 

The cover story also features Cardi B discussing her recent single “AH HA,” describing it as a message for people she feels are trying to bring her down.  Additionally, she addressed her recent public appearances with Nigerian footballer Maduka Okoye. Speaking about the soccer star, she said, “He was really sweet… When you see him on social media, he looks very strict, stern, but he is very kind.”  When asked if fans could expect to see more of him, she responded with a smile, “I hope so.” 

The cover story also highlights her recent visit to Saudi Arabia, where she headlined the MDLBeast Soundstorm festival. The experience left a deep impression on her; she said she was so moved that she took home some of the country’s sand because it “felt so holy.”
