Although Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s summer hit “WAP” debuted at number 1 with record-breaking streams, the NSFW single welcomed a buzz of mixed opinions. However, California congresswoman Maxine Waters says she enjoys the single and its message in a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
The two women spoke about education, standing up for yourself, and of course “WAP”. Here’s what Rep. Walters had to say:
“I listen to the young people around me and they may tell me something maybe you ought to pay attention to. But then they told me to look at, was it WAP? Don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t worry. I said, ‘Now that’s audacity. That is audacity.’ And that is the ability for women to take charge of what they want to say. I had paid attention to the young gangster rap time, when men were in charge. They said whatever they wanted to say about women, what have you. But women didn’t say, for a long time, what they could say or wanted to say or dared to say. And so I thought ‘that’s audacity.’”
