How to retrieve titleLabel on UIButton's prepareForInterfaceBuilder?

I subclassed UIButton and have this following prepareForInterfaceBuilder function:

- (void)prepareForInterfaceBuilder {
    NSString *string = [self titleForState:UIControlStateNormal];
    NSAttributedString *attrString = [[NSAttributedString alloc]
                                      initWithString:string
                                      attributes:@{
                                                   NSKernAttributeName : @4,
                                                   NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor whiteColor]
                                                   }];
    [self setAttributedTitle:attrString forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}

It's crashing when viewing in Interface Builder since the string variable is returning nil even though I have "testing" set as the title in Interface Builder. I have also tried retrieving the text by calling self.titleLabel.text, but that's also resulting in nil.

How do I properly retrieve the titleLabel's text in this function? Currently using Xcode 7.1 (7B91b).

you can set directly Attibuted string to UIButton's Lable

NSString *string = @"Your text here";
NSAttributedString *attrString = [[NSAttributedString alloc]
                                  initWithString:string
                                  attributes:@{
                                               NSKernAttributeName : @4,
                                               NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor whiteColor]
                                               }];
[yourCustomButton setAttributedTitle:attrString forState:UIControlStateNormal];
