When Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion revealed earlier this week that they had a new collaboration coming out called “WAP,” I began eagerly anticipating and preemptively celebrating a wave of hot girl shit to take my mind off the hot mess that continues to be 2020.
The new song and music video from the two Billboard-topping rappers, released at midnight on Friday, did not disappoint.
In the video, Thee Stallion from Houston and Cardi from the Bronx enter the screen as pastel-outfitted princesses of a mansion, while the sounds of a Franki B sample transitions into Cardi singing about her “WAP,” which makes that “pull-out game weak.”

Let me pause here and explain that the three-letter song title is an abbreviation for “wet-ass pussy”—and it’s an assertion of feminine sexuality that drives the song and music video.
The video, however, features a ‘clean’ version of the song in which Cardi B huskily raps about “wet and gushy,” as she explained on social media that YouTube felt the raw version was too explicit for their platform.
But “kitties” still play a big part in the visuals. Alongside actual tigers, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion don sexy animal-print outfits, and each demonstrate their very impressive splitting abilities and assets in some very memorable scenes.
“Your honor, I’m a freak bitch,” Megan raps unapologetically.
The two give us choreography and increasingly dirty bars, and the music video also features some cute cameos—including the rapper Mulatto and singer-dancer-all-around-performer Normani (who also shows off her ability to split in the video, which reminds me that I never managed to learn how to do a split and still wish I did).
