The Grammys “WAP” performance finally brought Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion to the stage to perform their smash hit from summer 2020, and it did not disappoint.

Both Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are at the top of the rap game right now. With “Savage Remix (Feat. Beyoncé)” last year, Megan Thee Stallion earned her first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while “WAP” gave both Cardi and Megan another coveted No. 1. Throughout all of their success in the past year, however, we still had never seen them perform the song live together outside of the viral music video.

With a song that permeated the culture in such a specific way, fans were more than eager to finally see the two rappers come together for an epic performance. Last night’s Grammys performance gave the fans just that with all the choreo, visuals and intensity that you would want from a “WAP” performance.

After Megan slayed the stage with her own medley of hits, Cardi B took to the Grammys stage with her latest single “Up” before bringing out Meg for the highly-anticipated song. Dancing on a gorgeous stage with cash falling from the sky, both Cardi and Meg delivered their verses and dance moves to perfection. While the explicit lyrics were slightly altered (every chorus was changed to “wet, wet, wet”), Black Twitter seemed impressed with the performance, cheering on both rappers for their performance, with some saying the performance “won the night.”

Cardi B says ‘I don’t make music for kids’ after not letting daughter listen to ‘WAP’ https://philadelphiaobserver.com/cardi-b-says-i-dont-make-music-for-kids-after-not-letting-daughter-listen-to-wap/ Fri, 15 Jan 2021 15:32:28 +0000 http://philadelphiaobserver.com/?p=1920 In a series of tweets Monday, she made it crystal clear who she’s not expecting to hear her provocative music.

In a series of tweets from yesterday, Cardi B made it crystal clear — “I don’t make music for kids” — after not letting her daughter listen to her hit song, “WAP.”

Cardi also contends that how she parents is her business.

In a viral video from New Year’s Eve, the rapper is seen singing along to her jam, “WAP,” featuring Megan Thee Stallion in an Instagram Live before quickly turning it off as her daughter, Kulture, walks into the room. The clip from Instagram Live immediately took off, while some fans began to question the rapper’s parenting after she defended her own risque lyrics all year.

Cardi B is now responding directly to some of the backlash. In a series of tweets, the rapper defended her decision to pause the song, explaining, “Ya needs to stop with this already ! I’m not jojosiwa ! I don’t make music for kids I make music for adults.Parents are responsible on what their children listen too or see. I’m a very sexual person but not around my child just like every other parent should be.”https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?creatorScreenName=feedly&dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-0&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1346249566765502465&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Ffeedly.com%2F&siteScreenName=feedly&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550pxhttps://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?creatorScreenName=feedly&dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-1&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1346250309656477696&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Ffeedly.com%2F&siteScreenName=feedly&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px

She continued to defend herself in another tweet: “There’s moms who are strippers.Pop pussy ,twerk all night for entertainment does that mean they do it around their kids ? No! Stop makin this a debate.Its pretty much common sense.”

If her tweets confirm anything, it’s that Cardi B is going to continue to do things her way in this new year.
