If you thought Cardi B would have no words for Carole Baskin criticizing her “WAP” music video, think again! Cardi B responded to the death of Baskin’s husband, and now Baskin has more words for the rapper.
The “WAP” video has snakes and tigers
Cardi B recently released the video for their new song, “WAP,” featuring Megan Thee Stallion. The video, directed by Colin Tilley, features Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion in a beautiful inn, as they appear in different rooms to do choreography. It includes comics by Kylie Jenner, Normani, Rosalía, Mulatto, Rubi Rose, and Sukihana. The video was viewed more than 26 million times on its first day and according to Complex it is “the biggest debut for a very female collaboration on the platform.”
In the video, they appear next to exotic animals such as snakes. There are also big cats like tigers. This was a problem for Baskin, who became a household name with Joe Exotic when she appeared on Netflix Tiger King. Baskin, the CEO of Big Cat Rescue, was pictured in odds with Joe Exotic. She accused him of abusing wild animals, especially big cats.
Here’s what Baskin said about the video
Even though Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion do not physically appear with the tigers in the video, it is still a problem for Baskin.
“My guess is that most people will not even see the Photoshopped cats in the scenes because the rest is so loud,” she told Billboard. “I was happy to see that it all looks like Photoshopped. It did not look like the cats were really in the rooms with the singers. In fact, most rooms are often Photoshopped via green screen. ”

She went on to say, ‘That being said, you have to pose a wildcat for a green screen to get that image and that does not happen in the wild. It can not happen in shrines like the uzes, where cats have a lot of space to avoid a green screen (or would contaminate it if access were granted and could die by eating it). That tells me that they are probably dealing with one of the big cat vaccines, which makes a splash of clapping, shocking and hungry cats to leave them standing on a sign in front of a green screen in a studio. That’s never good for the cat. ”
Cardi B and Baskin are now going back and forth
In an interview with iD, Cardi B referred back to Baskin’s criticisms of the “WAP” music video. “I will not deal with Carole Baskin about it,” she said. Then Cardi B refers to what Joe Exotic said in it Tiger King – the accusation that Baskin murdered her late husband Jack “Don” Lewis. It is an accusation that Baskin has vehemently denied since he was first missing in 1997. ‘Like, that’s just ridiculous, you know? O Lord. “Like, girl, you killed your god ** n man,” the rapper added.
After Cardi B’s response, Baskin gave another reaction of her own. Baskin told Mirror Online, “When most people are called out for their involvement in cruelty to animals, they know there is no justification that will convince others, so they will have to divert the conversation to something else.”
Cardi B has yet to respond to Baskin’s last words, we will not be surprised if she decides to do so!
