Megan Thee Stallion

Harper’s Bazaar

Showing support for the ‘Hot Girl Summer’ raptress, the U.S. Representative assures the Houston rapper that she has no problem with Megan-featuring Cardi B’s controversial song.

Feb 23, 2021
AceShowbiz – While Cardi B’s song “WAP” featuring Megan Thee Stallion was a huge hit, it also landed the raptress in hot water over its raunchy lyrics. Some conservative U.S. political figures criticized the stars for the song, but not with Maxine Waters who only had praises for Megan during their joint interview for Harper’s Bazaar.
“Here’s what I said: Now that’s audacity,” Mazine said of the track in a video, which was unveiled on Monday, February 22. “That is the ability for women to take charge of what they want to say because, as I said, I had paid attention to the young Gangster Rap time when men were in charge. They said whatever they wanted to say. That said whatever they wanted to say about women, what have you. But women didn’t say [anything] for a long time; what they could say or wanted to say or dared to say. And so, I thought, ‘That’s audacity.’ ”
Showing support for the Hot Girl Summer, the U.S. Representative for California’s 43rd congressional district assured the rapper, “I’m with you, I’m fine, I have no problem.” She went on to say, “You young women are taking control of your art. You’re defining it in ways that never would be defined by anybody else and you’re willing to have the courage and the nerves and the audacity to say whatever the hell you think.”
“The pure creativity of rap took over,” she continued, recalling when hardcore rap was not accepted “even by black people and the ministers in the church.” Maxine added, “And it took over not because the white media or anybody else helped with that. It took over because it was so accepted by so many and so loved by so many and that’s how it keeps evolving.”

Prior to this, the Congresswoman sent the Houston raptress a touching letter which Megan called “one of the highlights of my year” in an Instagram post in December 2020. “I am so honored to be recognized by such an amazing woman and I promise to keep using my voice and encourage others to use theirs !” she wrote in the caption.
In the said letter, Maxine honored the “Good News” artist for her powerful opinion that the idea of protecting black women shouldn’t be controversial. “I read the op-ed you wrote that appeared in The New York Times recently and I can’t thank you enough for bringing much needed attention to the plight of Black women, not just here in the United States — but everywhere,” she wrote in the letter.
“You are so right that Black women have paved the way and have done so by leading with courage and bravery. There is also this notion, which you touched upon, that we as Black women have the ability to bear a heavier burden than everyone else in this society,” the letter continued.

This is not the first time for either Megan and Cardi B to defend the hit song from criticism with the ‘Bodak Yellow’ femcee weighing in on the matter during her appearance on Australia’s ‘The Kyle and Jackie O’ show.

Dec 23, 2020
AceShowbiz – Megan Thee Stallion is weighing in on the criticism over her and Cardi B’s collaborative song “WAP”. In a new interview for British GQ magazine, the “Good News” artist revealed that people, especially men, oppose the raunchy song because they “just don’t know what to do when a woman is in control and taking ownership of her own body.”
She went on saying, “I feel like for a long time men felt like they owned sex and now women are saying, ‘Hey, this is for me. I want pleasure. This is how I want it or don’t want it,’ it freaks men the hell out.” The Houston raptress also noted that “it just comes from a place of fear and insecurity, like why would anyone be mad about my WAP? It belongs to me.”

This is not the first time for either Megan and Cardi to defend the hit song from criticism. During her interview on Australia’s “The Kyle & Jackie O” show, the “Bodak Yellow” femcee weighed in on the matter, saying, “The people that the song bothers are usually conservatives or really religious people. But my thing is…I grew up listening to this type of music. To other people it might be vulgar, but to me, it’s almost really normal.”
Cardi was also aware that the song is not for children, noting that she didn’t want her 2-year-old daughter Kulture, whom she shares with rapper Offset, to listen to it. “Of course I don’t want my child to listen to the song. But, it’s like, it’s for adults!” she said. “It’s what people want to hear. If people didn’t want to hear it, if they were so afraid to hear it, it wouldn’t be doing so good.”
Among those who publicly criticized the song was hip-hop vet Snoop Dogg. The “Mac and Devin Go to High School” actor shared his two cents on “WAP” during his virtual interview with host Julissa Bermudez for Central Ave on Thursday, December 10. Alluding that the song is too raunchy for his taste, Snoop opined, “Oh my God. Slow down. Like, slow down. And let’s have some imagination. Let’s have some, you know, privacy, some intimacy where he wants to find out as opposed to you telling him.”
He went on saying, “To me it’s like, it’s too fashionable when that in secrecy, that should be a woman’s…that’s like your pride and possession. That’s your jewel of the Nile. That’s what you should hold onto. That should be a possession that no one gets to know about until they know about it.”
