After fans began a petition to remove Kylie Jenner from Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” music video, Cardi took to Twitter on Sunday to defend the comeo, raising some objections on the grounds that, as a wildly successful reality star and cosmetics mogul, Jenner, who is white, took a lock that could have gone to another upcoming female musician of color, such as her video shows Mulatto, Sukihana, and Rubi Rose, who appeared alongside more upbeat singers Normani and Rosalía in the very wet mansion of the video. In a series of (now deleted) tweets, Cardi explained why Jenner made the cut. In not so many words, Kylie and her family, especially mom Kris Jenner, are just nice.
“Why did I put Kylie on my music video?” Cardi wrote, in response to a tweet criticizing Jenner’s lack of musical or dance skills, compared to costar Normani. ‘She treated my sister and daughter so lovingly at her party for kids. Travis and Set are really close and Kris Jenner has given me advice on certain things I should ask for and her husband is really cool with me. “
“These are the girls I personally like,” Cardi had previously told Apple Music about the female artists she included in the video. ‘That I love her music. That I really feel they will be mainstream. In several other deleted tweets, prisoners over here by PopCrave, the rapper defended Jenner’s comeo, which stunned her in the hallway and opened a door, compared to Normani’s, who marked the singer’s dancing.
“Normani is one of the best female artists who dances When they dance their fuckin’s ass!”, She tweeted. ‘Why would she open a door? Please tell, whats the story of them big puppys ….. The best part of the song is the beat & hook it makes you want to shake your ass. “Cardi wrote, ‘Not everything is about race. It’s out here in the world that it’s about race that I preach all the time. This is not about fuckin’ race.”
