Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion recently released their surprise collaboration ‘WAP’ music video. It has been trending on YouTube ever since. And Twitter is freaking out as well, not for the same reasons though.
In the video, there comes a point where the music stops and a mysterious yet familiar animal print-clad figure passes by. The figure was none other than Kylie Jenner.
Many fans took offense to her appearance in the music video because of her and her family’s history of appropriating Black culture. A lot of memes started doing the rounds expressing the same concern and frustration of their fans.
Not just that, they started a petition online to have Kylie Jenner removed from the music video. The petition has over 36000 signatures so far.
Cardi B seemingly responded to the backlash received without mentioning Kylie’s name directly. She said that the goal of the video was to include women of different races and come from different backgrounds, but are so powerful and influential. The rapper also thanked all the women who were a part of her video.
Kylie hasn’t specifically spoken about her appearance as such. Although she has posted a few snaps from shooting the music video on Instagram. The pictures were from behind the scenes and one of them also included Kris Jenner clicking pictures.
Cardi Warns About Comeback
Cardi’s comeback after almost a year has been highly-anticipated and worth it. She initially only announced the release of her music, however, she also went ahead to give us a music video. Megan Thee Stallion, one of the only female rappers who has her song at No. 1 on the Hot 100, was also a part of the video and the song itself.
Cardi warned her fans in advance saying the lyrics are so raunchy that YouTube asked them to put up a censored version of the video. The song is about how Cardi and Megan want their men to please them. The video shows the pair walking through an opulent mansion in which each room sees Cardi and/or Megan. They also surprised fans by hitting suggestive choreo in different-colored hued outfits and wigs.
The video also had other special guests included like Normani and Rosalía.

Megan and Cardi’s Announcement

Megan released her highly-popular single with Beyonce recently. It was the remix of ‘Savage‘ and it got widely popular right after its release. Beyonce was one of the few celebrities who sent her best wishes to Megan amid her shooting incident. Megan suffered gunshot wounds on her leg and had to go through surgery.
The rapper described the shooting as one of the worst experiences of her life. The shooting involved rapper Tony Lanez who was arrested soon after. Although Megan did not mention Lanez, she said she had to undergo surgery to remove the bullets.
