Cardi B recently opened up about her marriage to Offset in a cover story for Vogue's January issue.

The two rappers have had a fraught relationship since they sparked reports that they were dating after being seen together at the 2017 Super Bowl. Later that year, in September, they secretly got married— shortly before videos of Offset with other women surfaced. When Cardi decided to forgive him, she was heavily criticized online.

"Everybody has issues. I believe in forgiveness," she told Vogue. "I prayed on it. Me and my husband, we prayed on it. We had priests come to us. And we just came to an understanding like, bro, it's really us against the world.

"He has my back for everything, I have his back for everything, so when you cheat, you're betraying the person that has your back the most," she continued. "Why would you do that? We have come to a clear understanding. For me, monogamy is the only way. I'll beat your a-- if you cheat on me."

The "Bodak Yellow" rapper gave birth to the couple's child, Kulture Kiari Cephus, in July 2018. They split again five months later but reunited early this year.

"People that be in marriages for years, when they say till death do us part, they not talking about little arguments like if you leave the fridge open," Cardi told Vogue. "That's including everything."

For his part, Offset told the magazine that their marriage is "not an easy thing" but that they are "way better now with communication."
