"WAP" (which stands for something that we aren't even going to go into right now) is all kinds of hip-hop badness that fans have fallen head over heels for.Cardi's new single has even broken records.

The track was confirmed as being the new U.S number one on the HOT 100 by Billboard this week, earning Cardi her fourth U.S number-one single and Megan her second.But the thing that people are talking about is "WAP"'s music video.

Set in a strange, wonky-looking house clad with wild animal deco, Cardi and Megan are seen strutting their stuff in glamorous dresses and lingerie whilst serving some fierce looks... but they aren't alone.A whole range of erotic female dancers features in the video...

And as Cardi said in her own words, "I wanted different types of bad b****** in my video. Black, white, Latin, mix."Even Kylie Jenner made the cut for God knows what reason...
Which then lead to a petition being launched to get the reality star removed from the video. We have so many questions!Whoever choreographed the video had a vivid imagination...

And the dance moves thrown leave very little to the imagination, to say the least!Tucker Carlson even branded the track as "garbage."

Cardi has spoken out about it.
While being interviewed on the radio show The Kyle and Jackie O Show she said this: "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."She continued:
"Other people might think it's strange and vulgar, but to me, it's almost like really normal, you know what I'm saying?"She also added this:
“You wanna know something? It's what people wanna hear. If people didn't wanna hear it, if they were so afraid to hear it, it wouldn't be doing as good."And that's on facts. It shows us the kind of content people like to watch, clearly.
But now Cardi has hit headlines for another reason.Her political activism!
She took to Instagram this week to discuss her dislike of Trump. "I'm tired of getting upset every single time that I see that man talk."And this morning, she made sure to make her voice heard.
