Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s NSFW video “WAP” (an acronym for “Wet Ass Pussy”) caused an uproar on social media following its Friday (August 7) release. Not only did Cardi and Meg fans call for Kylie Jenner to be removed from the video, but the song’s sexually explicit lyrics also drew ire online.
While speaking with UK’s Far Out Magazine for a recent feature, CeeLoo Green weighed in on the topic and concluded women rappers such as Nicki Minaj, Cardi and Meg are simply desperate for attention.
“We are adults,” he said. “There should be a time and a place for adult content. As adults and artists, we should at least attempt to be each other’s accountability partners in some regard. The stereotypes that are celebrated and perpetuated, ultimately make the perception a reality. It is disenfranchising and it has caused a great deal of problems.
Safaree Drops 'WAP' Remix Called 'Big Ass Dick' & Fans Want It Castrated
“You have the ‘Heads of State,’ like Nicki Minaj or someone who is up there in accolade: success, visibility, a platform to influence. Nicki could be effective in so many other constructive ways, but it feels desperate.
He added, “Attention is also a drug and competition is around. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, they are all more or less doing similar salacious gesturing to kinda get into position. I get it, the independent woman and being in control, the divine femininity and sexual expression. I get it all but it comes at what cost?”
Green isn’t alone in his sentiments. There were plenty of people who called out the song for its graphic content and criticized the two women for being poor role models for young girls.
Despite some of the criticisms, the visual for the “WAP” has already racked up over 61 million YouTube views as of Monday (August 10) and continues to stir up debates online. There are plenty of women who find the song empowering and are proud of Meg and Cardi for continuing to own their sexuality as well.
“WAP” sparked a remix from Safaree called “B.I.G. (Big Ass Dick),” which is currently trending on Twitter. As the title suggests, the Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood personality flips the song to apply to men with lines such as, “Hold up, you fuckin’ with a big ass dick/million dollars OnlyFans with this big ass dick/I done broke the internet with this big ass dick/Slap you right across the face with this big ass dick.”
Whether people are feeling it is another story.
Might be time to log off the internet for like 2 years lol… like where is this talk when songs about shooting each other, treating women as only sex objects, selling drugs to your own people, etc etc have been and are CURRENTLY being played???!!!
the nani make the world go round, dandelion
It’s not B.I.G.Stupid man it should have been B.A.D….duh…music and videos are for entertainment if you dont like what they’re doing don’t watch it…but you’re watching to complain and getting your $$ in your pockets soo who is worst the ladies video or you sitting behind a screen waiting for your next paycheck from what you claim is disappointing??#bottomfeeders@best…#Shameonyou…#leavethemladiesalone…#theydontrepresentallladies…#ladiesdoyallsthang…#negativepplstfu…#Stopridingtheircoattails….#THEEND…?????
Right?? Let’s see em keep this energy when one male rapper comes rapping bout his ‘bitches’ and ‘hoes’
You’re right….so that is the perfect excuse to condone when women do dumb shit. Just find an opposing example. Like, if one of your kids kills someone, will you accept…”well, I saw someone on tv do it” as a valid reason, right?
Ain’t this fat fuck a convicted r@pist?
Is that the issue on ground, what his saying is correct, nowadays stupidity is the right norm…all they talk about is pussy,ass, money . No content or massage in the music, Bob Marley says when the music hit you, it touch soul… what happened to that?
If we gonna try to police this, then we need to police everything. The only difference between now and the 90s fr, was the balance. There was plenty of garbage back then too, but everybody got an opportunity to be heard. Bahamadia didn’t have to talk like this to get play, Nicki, Meg & Cardi shouldn’t have to either…
It’s all about balance. If Rapsody and her kind of rap was gettin a comparative amount of plays it wouldn’t bother me. But this sends a message to all those girls: we don’t give a fuck if you know how to rap, just show your tits and ass cause that’s the only way u topping the charts
It’s business. They giving fans wat fans want. Plus Meg has rapped bout very many topics eg. Crying in the car, that Tupac sample song & more. CeeLo sounding like jelous hater. And yawn he never criticises male peers only females yawn. Predictable and. Imagine if a woman celeb told him his music was wack. He’d b triggered
What would he be jealous of exactly? Cee-lo has sold millions of albums, been platinum multiple times, is worth over 20 million dollars…but let me guess, because he doesn’t like thot-driven/vulgar music, he is a hater. Funny that women always want to get mad at a man for not accepting women being at their worst, but then make the excuse that “Men do it”, like little kids….smh.
This is the era of attention seeking. Especially with social media other shit
Last year, Jermaine Dupri said all female rappers are strippers, even though he was clearly taking about mainstream ones, people were bringing up Rapsody, Tierra Whack, etc. But NO female album got an award nomination last year. Looks like history might repeat itself this year.
Fuck all parties involved…they hoes so what do you expect for them to do.
This the kind of news title that gets people in trouble. Talk about gross oversimplification
It’s just a bad song. Nothing wrong with the topic, if they made it 3 dimensional or even remotely creative. It isn’t, it’s just hollow and crude.
Teaching your daughters to be hoes and strippers, throw that trash. Bring back good female MCs
Call yourself empowered but you still a hoe for the skreets.
I agree with everything he said. If you behave you get laughed at. U.S is a bad influence on itself. Devoured yourselves and half the godamned planet! Sickos!
Lol. So male rappers exploit and continue to exploit black women and then when women choose to exploit themselves folks grab their pearls? He cannot be serious. The double standard is hilarious.
Both standards are sh*t
A hoe will always be a hoe
I said.it before :
Mc lyte
Da brat
Shakilla
Shawnna
Rasheeda
Gangsta Boo
Snow tha Product would ALL OBLITERATE THESE FAKE ASS TOUGHASS STRIPPERS. PERIOD.
Wack sht seems to always float to the top in the wack game …i mean rap game.
