Cardi B is preparing to release the follow-up to her massive 2018 debut album Invasion of Privacy and she’s bringing Megan Thee Stallion along for the ride. Releasing the “Hot Girl Summer” for 2020, the women dropped their sexy single and even sexier music video for “WAP” on Friday, cleaning up the acronym and lyrics to “Wet And Gushy” from the original title of…well, we’ll let you Google that one.Cardi B worked with director Colin Tilley for “WAP,” which opens with the rappers in a sort of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-type mansion featuring a world of wonder behind every door. Except, instead of candy-candy, it’s eye-candy. The women perform together and separately in a series of fun rooms that include snakes, a shallow pool, a green and purple factory-line, a tiger-print room for Cardi and an all-zebra motif for Megan.
The new video also includes a handful of Cardi and Megan’s famous friends, including makeup mogul and reality star Kylie Jenner, singers Normani and Rosalía, and rappers Sukihana, Mulatto and Rubi Rose. While most of those ladies are used to starring in their own music videos, “WAP” only marks Jenner’s third foray into the music video world after previously appearing in videos for exes Tyga and Travis Scott (though her inclusion here definitely didn't sit well with some fans... yikes).Speaking to Nadeska on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music New Music Daily series on August 7, Cardi praised the up-and-coming rappers featured in her video, saying it was important for her as an established artist to help the next generation.“I feel like people be wanting to put female artists against each other,” Cardi told Nadeska. “It’s the people that be trying to do that s–t. Every single time I feel like there’s a female artist that’s coming up, coming up, coming up and getting their mainstream moment, I always see little, slick comments like, ‘Oh, they taking over your spot. They taking over this, they taking over that.’ And it just makes me feel like, ‘Damn, why it had to be like that?’ Because I actually like shorty’s music a lot.”
