Reactions to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's 'WAP' Are All Over the Place

Cardi B has the hip hop culture and it seems the entire universe talking following the release of her single 'WAP.' Here are some reactions from social media and a discussion from The Breakfast Club here and from Roland Martin, Hot 97's Ebro in the Morning, and others [below].

All and all, this is a promotional event from two female rappers rather than a groundbreaking expression of art. If you take it with that perspective, it'll all be forgotten in about two weeks. Female empowerment? ....hardly.

The video is reminiscent of Halle Berry's role in the movie BAPS with Natalie Desselle.

It looks like Fox Sports 1 reporter Joy Taylor has a lot to say on the subject and actress Viola Davis approves. 👀

People who assault people are responsible for assault. To blame it on anyone talking about sex is an excuse and it adds to the stigma for survivors and difficulties in prosecution. https://t.co/tzb13M5U16

Can you CALM DOWN. It’s a SONG. There have been thousands of songs about sex. Just as transparent. https://t.co/t8QVH291za

Others chime in on Twitter:

Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion are what happens when children are raised without God and without a strong father figure. Their new "song" The #WAP (which i heard accidentally) made me want to pour holy water in my ears and I feel sorry for future girls if this is their role model!

How could you possibly think this is ok to say? https://t.co/FXShycZZkx

The part where Jesus said this is wrong and he made it go away.

So should Cardi B be rapping about something else?

Cardi B did say something true in that Apple Music interview. She said conscious female rappers exist, but they don’t get streams, they don’t get the same support. She’s following the money. If we want to see a change, we have to make “conscious” music lucrative. That’s on us.

As I also discussed on the show, my only real concern is that the women involved -- who apparently require a "bucket and a mop" -- get the medical care they require. My doctor wife's differential diagnosis: bacterial vaginosis, yeast infection, or trichomonis.
