"WAP" marks Cardi B's first new single in over a year, and the accompanying music video celebrates with lots of styles, lots of skin and lots of celebrity guests.
Cardi B made a huge statement with her triumphant return to music -- not counting a hilarious "coronavirus" remix -- after more than a year away. And she brought in her friends to help celebrate.
The new single "WAP" is a collaboration between Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, but the accompanying music video opened the doors for a few more famous faces including Kylie Jenner, Normani, her trademark splits and several female rappers like Mulatto, Rosalia, Rubi Rose and Sukihana.

"I wanted a lot of different females, not just female rappers," Cardi added. "Y'all going to see it on the music video as well, from models to influencers and everything. And I really wanted the video to be very sexy, very clean, very nice, very cut."

While fans can tune into the video to see all the ladies in their incredible -- and incredibly risque (downright NSFW at times) -- fashions, Cardi also urged them to check out the track on streaming platforms to really here what "WAP" is all about.
"I just want to let y'all know, I wanna give you a heads up, with the music video, it's going to be the censored version of the song, because the song is so nasty that YouTube was like, 'Hold on, wait a minute, [this] song just might be too goddamn nasty," she said in a teaser before the video's launch.
