Cardi B – WAP feat. Megan Thee Stallion [Official Music Video]
Now unless you have been existing under a rock, we have all heard of the WAP music video. A video that is now number one trending on YouTube and is steadily climbing various music charts. WAP stands for “wet ass pussy” which as it stands is
too controversial and explicit which is why Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion chose to use the acronym as the title. It is a well thought out song and music video altogether. Below are a few interesting facts about the WAP music video.
The Song Features Great Women in Rap, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion
These women have been great in the hip hop industry and have thrived over the past few years with their releases. Their collaboration seems to be aimed at growing both of their careers as they are both very big names in the industry. The WAP music video was released after Megan Thee Stallion had been shot just a few weeks prior. She now seems to be recovering well and has been enjoying the hype that has come with this release. This is the first appearance by Cardi B for a while and seems to be a good move.
Apart From the Two Artists, the Video Has High Profile Cameos
It consists of various artists who show promise in the entertainment industry. Among these are, Rubi Rose, Rosalia, Mullato, Sukihana, Normani, and Kylie Jenner. Cardi B stated that she chose women who were on the verge of greatness and was aiming at promoting who they are and the work they do. The WAP music video is aimed at female empowerment. As well as encouraging women to bring other women up. This is a statement aimed at the young girls who are a large audience to Cardi B and Meg Thee Stallion who develop the culture of supporting each other. The WAP music video has however brought controversy to the role of Kylie Jenner in the video. A petition was signed to remove her due to the controversy. However, the artists stand by their decision and have not removed her cameo role.
The Message of the WAP Song and Music Video Is to Preach Sexual Liberation in Women
Sexual liberation involves doing away with what was previously regarded as the norm. The artists encourage that women own their sexuality and what they like. They also insist on the role of communication and that women do not compromise for anything. A message that has hardly been portrayed in the mainstream media. It also aims to change the narrative of male rappers objectifying women and has brought the female perspective to light.
The WAP Music Video Is Also Aimed at Promoting Body Positivity in Women
The video goes through women of different sizes who still love themselves and still view themselves as sexy. All women have the right to demand what they like and determine their standards and stick by them. Despite the size, color, and various features that come with women in general.
It Would Be Unfair Not to Mention the Work Done on Visuals in the WAP Music Video
The video set was a work of art not to mention the artists’ clothing. The video incorporates various animal patterns and other forms of pattern that are colorful and bold. The set seems to have a whimsical vibe to it. They took chances that worked out for them.
Just as We Discuss the Setting, It Is Hard to Miss the Animals That Were Present on the Set
These were a work of art as well as animals in their natural setting would be. There are tigers, cheetahs, and snakes that were effectively matched to the various video settings. Cardi B admitted to being afraid of the snakes but stuck it out for the video. Good thing she did, it paid off greatly.
