What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver Music
and while Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s
WAP music video was star studded, there was
another celeb Cardi desperately wanted in
the video but she couldn’t make it.
If you are one of the hundreds of millions
people who’s watched the WAP music video,
you know that it was filled with cameos from
celebs like Kylie Jenner, Normani, Rosalía,
Sukihana, Mulatto, and Rubi Rose.
But Cardi B just revealed that there was one
more person she wished would have made a cameo
in the video.
And that person is none other than Lizzo.
Cardi told Hot 97 that she really wanted Lizzo
in the video, but Lizzo was unavailable.
She said quote, “I’m cool with Lizzo and
everything.
Like, we’ve been sending DMs to each other
and all that.
But she was on vacation and she wasn’t in
town.
I was like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ because I had
a whole vision about how I want to see Lizzo
and everything.”
And we know that Lizzo would’ve made an
epic appearance had she been available to
be in the video.
Too bad she was social distancing on vacation!
Cardi went on to explain why she wanted to
have celebs make cameos in the WAP video saying
quote, “It was so important to me to include
different women that are different races and
come from different backgrounds, but are so
powerful and influential.”
She definitely had a solid list of A-listers,
maybe next time Cardi and Lizzo can collab
though?
Just a thought!
And while WAP has been such a huge success,
Cardi also recently revealed that her label
wasn’t confident in the song as a single
at first.
She spoke to Nessa On Air about why her label
was concerned about the song.
“It got to the point one when where even
my label asked yo are you sure because this
song is so raunchy, you cannot even play it
in certain places.
And I’m like I’m not gonna make this girl
do another verse in another song, she like
this song, it’s fire.
And they were like, you know what you’re
right it is what it is.
And it just exceeded everything.”
And the song really has blown up and exceeded
even Cardi’s expectations.
It went #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, was certified
Gold in just one week, and broke streaming
records, just to name a few.
Additionally, it’s become one of the biggest
songs on TikTok with a now iconic WAP dance
taking over the app.
One person got particularly creative and found
a way to work Taylor Swift, yes you heard
that right, into the TikTok WAP dance.
It started off with the TikTokker, Niamh Adkins,
lip syncing and dancing to Taylor’s song
You Belong With Me.
But things took a turn when it was about to
be the chorus and fans seriously didn’t
see this one coming.
Niamh cut straight from Taylor to WAP seamlessly.
And fans were obsessed with this version of
the challenge.
One person wrote quote, “Literally prolapsed
laughing at this”
Another fan added “i didn’t see this coming
omg”
And this fan chimed in writing “I thought
it was gud but it gets better AHAHAHAHA”
And this video quickly got over a million
views on TikTok, though Niamh revealed that
it’s under review at the moment.
It got so much attention though that it even
caught queen Cardi B’s attention.
Cardi actually retweeted the video writing
quote, “I ain’t saw that coming”
And now, the video has almost 6 million views
on Twitter.
So I guess it’s a win win for Cardi, Taylor,
and Niamh.
