Cardi B slaying in a fairytale word inside the March 2019 issue of Harper's Bazaar. Some say the above photo is a nod to the infamous Harper's Bazaar Icon Party in September 2018

Right now New York Fashion week is happening showcasing the Fall/Winter 2019 designer collections but who could forget the now legendary New York Fashion week in September 2018?

The Spring/Summer 2019 designer collections were not the only thing turning heads and making major headlines that September as Cardi B infamously threw her "red bottom" at fellow rapper Nicki Minaj at the Harper's Bazaar "Icons" party. 

Many felt that an incident like that would but a major dent in Cardi B's career and possibly black list her from the fashion set for good.  Fast forward to the March 2018 issue of Harper's Bazaar (the host of the very party that was the scene of drama for Cardi B) where Cardi is not only in a fairytale inspired fashion editorial, shot by photographer Mariano Vivanco, but is also the COVER STAR! 

Everyone loves a rags-to-riches fairy tale, but what happens when “happily ever after” turns into a moving target? In the March issue of Harper's Bazaar, Cardi B opens up about fame, family and Offset.

Check out photos and her official Harper's Bazaar covers below as well as quotes from her exclusive interview.

Cardi B turning it all the way out in the March 2019 issue of Harper's Bazaar

On where her life is today: “I feel like my life is a fairy tale and I’m a princess— rags to riches, people trying to sabotage. Before, I cared about everything—relationship, gossip. Now I don’t feel like I have the time to please people. I don’t care about anything anymore—just my career and my kid. Well, I care about my career because of my money.”

On her post-partum depression: “I thought I was going to avoid it. When I gave birth, the doctor told me about post-partum, and I was like, ‘Well, I’m doing good right now, I don’t think that’s going to happen.’ But out of nowhere, the world was heavy on my shoulders.”

On why she waited to post photos of her daughter, Kulture: “As soon as she was born, one month in he [Offset] was like, ‘She’s so beautiful. Watch how people gonna go crazy.’ ’Cause a lot of people were saying mean stuff, like that we don’t post her because she’s ugly. He was like, ‘I’m about to post my baby right now.’ But then we were very concerned because we were getting a lot of threats, so he said, ‘The world don’t even deserve to see her.’”

On her original decision to leave Offset: “I decided on my own. Nobody makes my decisions about my life but me. I didn’t want to go to marriage counseling. He suggested it, but it’s like, ‘I don’t want to go.’ There’s no counselor or nothing that could make me change my mind.”

On how she feels about sex and relationships: “If you think Imma automatically hop onto you after a marriage, that just means you think I’m a sleaze. And I’m not. I have a kid— I have to show an example…Just because I’m out there and very sexual doesn’t mean that I have to be whorish. I like to have sex. That doesn’t mean I have to have it with everybody. Not that I judge women who want to have sex with the world.”
