Undoubtedly expected to make a splash upon its premiere on the Billboard Hot 100, the gargantuan impact made by Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion‘s joint effort, ‘WAP,’ may be better categorized as a tsunami.

Opening atop the tally with numbers that rival some of music history’s biggest debuts ever, the Ayo the Producer-crafted bop – which largely samples Frank Ski‘s 1992 club anthem ‘Whores in This House’ – was penciled in record books several times over in just its first seven days.

Like the 90 million who’ve watched Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion‘s ‘WAP’ video, Russell Brand admits to being “spellbound” by the “power of female sensuality and sexuality’ the racy visual.

However, the actor/activist has pondered aloud whether the clip is progressive or whether it feeds the objectification that fuels inequality.

With collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion (‘Pastor’), Cardi B (‘Twerk’), Saweetie (‘My Type’ official remix), and Doja Cat (‘P***y Talk’) to their credit, City Girls are no stranger to racking up features with today’s leading ladies of Hip Hop.

However, the racy nature of both the song and video (which stand for “Wet A** P***y”) hasn’t thrilled all.

Indeed, as reported, CeeLo Green lambasted the duo (along with other femcees) for their displays of sexuality. And a sect of other males have echoed similar sentiments.

Not one to hold back, Meg addressed the matter and highlighted hypocrisy.

However, the second place landing is by no means a loss.

In addition making history for being part of the first time two female rappers occupied the top two spots, ‘Savage’ was also awarded Meg’s highest tenancy on the Hot 100 thanks to 42.1 million U.S. streams, 50,000 digital downloads, and 51.3 million impressions on radio.
