Cardi B Reveals Her Daughter Isn't Allowed To Listen To This Song

Loyal fans (and just about anybody who followed mainstream music in 2020) can probably guess that the song in question is "WAP," Cardi B's chart-topping collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion. Not only did the explicit track — which celebrates sex and the female body (one part in particular) – debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, it stayed there for four weeks.

We can understand why Cardi wouldn't want Kulture — her child with husband and Migos rapper Offset — listening to "WAP" because of the mature lyrics. After all, plenty of grown-ups were up in arms when the track dropped. In fact, conservatives came out in droves against the song, with one political commentator referring to it as "trash and depravity" in a since-deleted tweet (via Rolling Stone).

That being said, the song's creator only seemed bemused by the attacks. "I'm such a freak that I didn't think it would be a big deal," Cardi said in an interview with i-D. "I didn't think people would think it was so out of this world." Then, she quipped: "They keep talking and the numbers keep going up."

Touché, Cardi. Touché.
