Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion‘s ‘WAP’ may have soared to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 upon its late August 2020 release, but now the 5x Platinum tune has landed atop the hit list of angry parents.
Much to fan delight, the Rap divas gave the tune its inaugural live performance at the 63rd annual GRAMMY Awards Sunday night (March 14).
Preceded by host Trevor Noah’s comical warning to parents to tell their children “it’s a song about giving a cat a bath,” the ladies – albeit performing a significantly tamer edit of the racy song – still engaged in some seriously sexually provocative choreography that including gyrating, pelvic thrusting, floor humping, P-popping, butt bouncing, pole dancing, and nearly straddling each other.
While their respective fan groups – #BardiGang and #Hotties – took to Twitter in droves to express their approval of the suggestive stage activity, parents of young children watched in shock and horror. In response, a number of them turned to the FCC to lodge complaints against CBS. Others – like members of the Parents Television Council (PTC) – joined the backlash charge.
A statement from the PTC’s president, Tim Winter, read:
“The performance of Wet-Ass P*ssy, and let’s not pretend that WAP means anything else, was entirely unfit for a primetime network television broadcast.”
“Artists have every right to confound empowerment with debasement, and sexiness with debauchery, but a broadcast television network carries a higher standard,” he stated before continuing, “especially during the times when children are likely to be in the audience. Shame on CBS.”

At the time of this report, Cardi nor Megan have responded to Winter’s scathing open letter.

“The performance of Wet-Ass P*ssy, and let’s not pretend that WAP means anything else”
😂😂😂😂
Am I the only one who thought cardi was of while she was performing?
It’s like she gained alot of weight and she didnt rehearse.
She also seemed out of it
That metal suit put pounds on her def not smart costume
Seemed out of it? The costume was metal and added 10-15 pounds. How would you dance with an added 10 pounds you boiled egg a** b****. Where was Camila last night? Getting her exorcism I hope
Yeah either she put on a lot of weight or she is preggo but whatever it is her performance was off.
Why no post on Tiffany haddish going IN on how mean Nicki is today?! It’s over Nicki! Your nasty attitude is what ruined you h_oe
Nicki!? Nicki hasn’t even been active for months STFU
Lmfao!!!!!!!! The excuses u Cardi stans come with!!!! This aint about Nicki this is about Cardi overblown ass and tgat wack a** proformance!!! Lmfao!!!!! She proberly already booked her next roubd of liposuction lol!!!!!!
Proformance? You Nicki losers can’t even spell…that’s why we treat you all like the Grammys treat Nicki….with DUST
who cares, you acting like Tiffany haddish is some saint. she dis someone in fifth harmony and Nicki took up for her some from that Tiffany haddish been carrying feelings for Nicki. Nicki is fine fools like you are so delusional, always praying and hoping for her downfall.
This has nothing to do with flop harmony.
It was pretty bad. I’m surprised the song was allowed to be performed at the Grammys let alone chart so high
Love it💋💋 those stupid parents are being so paranoid 💅🏿💅🏿 They pretend they never had S e x before
Mission accomplished then! NEEEXXXTT🥱
Janet couldn’t show a nipple ring, but CBS didn’t even bat an eye to let these half-naked women get on stage and simulate s– in bed. CBS will do whatever they want when it suits their agenda.
Projecting
It’s so crazy to see how outraged people are, when having a WAP is exactly how their children were conceived and got here. S** is natural part of life and everyone does it. Kids should be in bed during that time anyways. What the heck they doing up on a Sunday night?! 😹 As a parent, if you hear Cardi B and Meghan the stallion is up next, you remind your kids this: “it’s time for bed, it’s a school night” and off they go. Okurtttt! 👌🏾
It was sloppy af. And that leg flip kick twerk part at the end…Chile 💀💀 I had to change the channel 📺🤦🏾♂️
It’s appropriate for those that the Grammys are targeted toward.
Ur dumb lil children should be watching cartoons ….
Once again, ppl refusing to monitor their children and blame entertainment 🙄
Exactly why China has the right idea on birth.
Talentless Thots up to the same old tricks . Doing the most for attention cause they have nothing else to offer . They are such a terrible example for young girls .
she even made Cardi B dolls and yet she claims she isn’t marketing to kids ….clearly, she is groomer for the predators in the industry!!!
Facts
💯💯💯💯
How can we want respect, equality as women when these 2 perform trash music and negros suport it. Lol, n***** are so dumb.
💯💯💯💯
can’t compare Cardi B music to a children’s book. Those books are geared to specifically target children, Cardi’s music is not. Therefore, it’s totally up to the parents to control what their children watch and listen to.
