In today's 'WAP' update, Cardi B says she spent $100,000 on COVID-19 testing for the video. And country artist Margo Price gives the hit song a makeover.

Rappers Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s video for their new song, ‘WAP,’ features appearances by Kylie Jenner, Normani, Rosalía and others.

“There are certain things I want only my fans to see, you know?” she told i-D. “I wanna be more open about my insecurities, what makes me happy and what makes me sad. I wanna be extremely transparent.” In the spirit of full transparency, comedian Dulcé Sloan told Trevor Noah on “The Daily Show” Thursday night that she saw “WAP” as the “sex-positive song of the summer.”“Only in a repressed, patriarchal society would people consider a woman’s pleasure graphic,” Sloan said. “Men don’t have to censor their pleasure,” she added, pointing to artists like Drake and Bruno Mars.

To prove her point, the comedian invited Grammy-nominated country artist Margo Price to cover “WAP” with an acoustic guitar and a Southern twang.“We don’t live in a society that’s comfortable with women claiming their sexuality,” Sloan said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s rap or country. I bet if it was a country music star that sang the same lyric, all these men would still be upset.”Those men that Sloan was referring to include Republican congressional candidate James P.

“I never expected that, you know, conservatives and Republicans were going to be talking about the song,” Cardi B told i-D. “It doesn’t make me angry. It makes me happy. They keep talking and the numbers keep going up. At the end of the day, whatever they’re saying, the numbers speak for themselves.”Get our revamped Envelope newsletter, sent twice a week, for exclusive awards season coverage, behind-the-scenes insights and columnist Glenn Whipp’s commentary.

Parents of todays youth. Prayers up🙏

Just realized why this generation is offing themselves in record numbers.

If you don’t like the video make a better one lol.

Like Madonna said SEX SELLS!! That’s why. Thanks la times for keeping that up!! Ha

Maybe because you posted the same article with the same question three days in a row. We aren’t talking about it. You are.

BardiUpdatess About the song, period.

WAP = what Apple Pay’s

TOUFIK_BKS cause Cardi came back swinging

Because cardi b is coming thats why

Who’s talking about it besides the LA times? This is clickbait and we’re not falling for it.

why do YOU think!? lol

Bored and horny?

Actually media can’t stop talking about it, not « the internet » ok next

Because the internet is stupid.

When grandfather saw the photo displayed here, he exclaimed 'Aha, thunder thighs!' and walked out the door for his morning walk. Have to ask what he meant when he returns...

Great question 😝😍😍 WAP

Because the industry has been so corporatized that most people don’t know what good music is—or they’d realize that “WAP” is as icky and tacky as Trump.

Who

Haven't watched it and haven't talked about it until now. Still not watching it.

Because it’s as icky and tacky as Trump, and because the industry has been so corporatized that most people don’t know what good music is. As Quincy Jones said, “A hook is not a song.”

Bc there’s a huge PR machine behind it

Mile_by_Mile Is it to do with the WAP?

It stopped awhile ago, but the Times is always way behind.

Hmmm I wonder why 🤔

Incels & insecurity.

Because people are addicted to sex

What video?

What video?

Then why are you posting or Twitting? 🤨

The internet is “ in heat “

Two fat asses

Men have been singing and rapping about WAP for years. Let iamcardib and theestallion have their moment. 😛🙃💃🏽 🎶

Because benshapiro has never seen a wet vagina. Especially with his wife...

Is it? We are talking about the post office!

Remember when they banned Rihanna’s S&M video. I remember.

Because it’s fap-worthy

Because the internet fucking sucks and in the world we live in everyone is a troll and has a stupid fucking opinion.

🐱💭 This ain't new, it's new to YOU. As an adult, visiting my 'Church Going' cousins in NOLA, We went to a Supper Club that would make WAP look like a FLOP. When I returned home, and told my dad about his folks...he shook his head, 'YOU want a beer'? 🍻

Kinda forgot all about it until you brought it up... it's a forgettable song.

Apparently you can't.

Uh doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why people are talking about this.

Because It's utter garbage that reflects cultural decadence of US.

coz mass media like YOU serves PORN available to the children

I'm more concerned about the evil clown wannabe autocratic trying to steal an election by killing the Postal Service.. SaveTheUSPS

Great role model for young women and girls 👍

👀

There is a line between sex-positive media and soft pornography

Cuz they’re mad and jealous
