Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson goes on a rant about “WAP,” a new song by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. 

What We Know:

  • Tucker Carlson went on a rant about Cardi B’s new song with Megan Thee Stallion “WAP” and how the song is a bad influence on younger girls. He mentioned how the news channel doesn’t cover pop culture a lot but this song was an exception. 
  • “That’s garbage,” he said. “You don’t need to be a puritan to think so. It’s garbage. It’s aimed at young American girls –– maybe your girls, your granddaughters, and what is it doing to them? Can you imagine what it’s doing to them?”

  • Carlson then targeted Joe Biden for doing an interview with Cardi B, where they discussed access to free medicare and education. “We’re not being prudish here,” he said. “This is not James Brown being sexually suggestive on stage. Go online right now and look up the lyrics to this song. And then ask yourself if you were Joe Biden, would you suck up to the person who sang it and ask yourself above all, and ask it more than once, what is this doing to our kids? The people pushing it clearly are trying to hurt your children. Why is nobody pushing back?”
  • Conservative radio host Tammy Bruce was added into the conversation and she talked about how the video isn’t a reflection of every Black woman and that it’s a possibility that Joe Biden had no idea who Cardi B was during the interview. Bruce discussed how most women, especially women of color, do not prefer to be objectified and treated as “meat,” which is how women have been treated for years. Yet, the “WAP” music video, ironically, portrayed women as sex objects and Bruce said that it was not the way for women to get the respect they want. 

The music video received over 111 million views and the song hit number one on Billboard Hot 100.
