The nasty lyric, over-the-top production, A-list guest stars, and Cardi B’s super sexy persona, fuel her just ‘dropped’ “WAP,” video. A little long in the tooth for this kind of pop song as I am, still, I can’t help but notice the outrageous artistry of what Cardi B and her modern-day diva sisters manage here.
There are naked female ‘statues’ squirting fountains of water from their breasts, fronting a large mansion the viewer is introduced to just as the video starts and the gates of the place open. As the music starts, Cardi B. and Megan Thee Stallion strut down an Alice-In-Wonderland like hallway of skewed perspective, wearing matching chiffon leotards of opposite colors, yet matching the walls around them. Their bouncing endowments on full display, one could think this song is about breasts, but actually, the lyric celebrates a part of the female anatomy a little further south; WAP stands for “Wet-ass p*ssy.”
There are lots of animals here, snakes and tigers mostly, and other candy-colored rooms, and as you can bet, a startling amount of costume changes. Again, you don’t have to dig rap, or even like music videos to enjoy this sexy romp. I have watched “WAP” now a few times, with the sound off.
Although stars like Mulatto, Rosalia, and Sukihana appear here, the most startling visual moment might just be the cameo by Kylie Jenner (see the picture above), strutting down the hallway. She wears a Rey Ortiz leopard print leotard, (well open at her chest), matching thigh-high boots and gloves. The ensemble sports a ridiculously long leopard print cape, which we get an unobstructed view of during a shot from behind Jenner, in which she also shows off her very pert derriere.
As Chris and I try hard on our Licking Non-Vanilla podcasts (go here or here to hear them) to explore, expound upon and enjoy as much of our sexual culture as we can, we couldn’t rightly let a video like Cardi B’s “WAP” by without a comment.
Enjoy the video here.
