I dont know why candy is so bothered by WAP. I was just inspired by our former First Lady, the rapper tweeted on Tuesday, along with an inked-out nude photo of Melania Trump.

(57,885 posts)She tried to shame the progressive rap star Cardi B's sexy perfomance of her hit song "WAP" at the Grammy Awards Sunday night.
Here's Cardi B's mic-drop response to the hypocrite:

So, I'm going to go none of the above on this one.

Its not uncommon for musicians who came from humble beginnings have some illegal behavior in their past.
She speaks out for good causes these days.

(35,165 posts)These "entertainers" don't merit the time to say all I think. My disagreement with you does not make my response or any response deserving of your snarky question. EVERYONE on this forum gets a response, even if you don't like it.
Be happy that I still have not said what I wanted to say.
OK, happy now?

(13,849 posts)is awful. So not her.
Cardi B and Megan Thee Stalion's performance was inappropriate, tho. I don't want to see scissoring simulations on primetime tv. And while I understand that WAP is sex positive and they're owning it, and they're certainly free to make it and produce it, it's totally inappropriate for children, and I'm shielding my 10 year old from the over sexualization that she doesn't understand. Do I want this type of song to be normalized? Not really. Am I gonna go on a Candace Owens crusade for attention? Not really.
janterry
(4,429 posts)at all. I think it's objectifying herself the way women have been trained to do forever.
I have to say, I am also grateful that my teen thought it was horrible. (I feel like I've raised a feminist). When she was a bit younger, she and I watched a video of Nicki Minaj together and I analyzed it with her. It was soft porn, basically. But I thought it was good for her to hear what a feminist thought.
Perhaps that helped.
Dorian Gray
(13,849 posts)Is a movement where you embrace your sexuality. I get what youre saying. I think some positive criticism of the performance is couched in that. My post was basically disagreeing with that.
janterry
(4,429 posts)I just think it's morphed into something way less than positive - for women. TBH, I've been hanging out with a bunch of young feminists online - and they see this the way I do. It's heartening (to me). I think as a group, they are still the minority - but their voices might be growing in strength.
