Hip Hop Entertainment News Today: Cardi B Gives REAL REASON Why She Featured Kylie Jenner In WAP Music Video While Wishing Her Happy 23rd Birthday
Kylie Jenner marked her 23rd birthday Monday, August 11. A lot of celebs wished the makeup mogul well on her special day. One of those who did is Cardi B and she explained why she featured the reality TV star in her WAP music video.
According to Cardi, she wanted “different type of bad b**ches” in her music video. She wrote:
“Happy Birthday and thank you @kyliejenner for being in my music video.I wanted different type of bad b**ches in my video.Black,white,Latin,mix we all have WAPS!OK …but thank you always @krisjenner you always a call away for me and you treat me and mines like fam.”
Despite her reasons, Cardi still got some mixed reactions in the comment section.
inkkd.513: “Why was she even there. Can’t rap. Can’t sing. Can’t dance. All she did was walk and open a door. How many times has Kylie advocated or done anything for Black women? Yet they stay supporting her”.
koroamo: “Yeah but kylie ain’t it cause her family profits off black culture”.
michelleylovey: “The last thing I wanted to see was Kylie in a video. No hate. Love her. But no.”
blacksobersocialworker_ybattle: “The Kardashians are just like that one member in your group project in college who didn’t do any work but still benefits from the A+!”
indigotaughtyou: “Haters gone lose their hairline now that Cardi supporting Kylie. Y’all need to stop hating on Kylie Jenner. Money longer than ALL OF YALL WHO HATE HER.”
pacecrew04: “She was aight could of chose someone besides her.. ..Kylie way to overrated . .. @iamcardi when I seen her on the video I was like oh hell nah ? If anything you should have put your sister @hennessycarolina in the video before @kyliejenner”.
cherrybrat_: “Listen, Kylie is cool- but she had nothing to do with the song 😂😭 like that part actually made me cringe man.”
kaamillaes: “Cardi, wake up! Stop supporting people that HATE you!”
curlyvegchef: “There are way more unproblematic white women you could’ve used. But let’s use the woman who’s family constantly steals black women’s work and creative ideas. I AM DISAPPOINTED”.
If you recall, the Grammy-winner received some backlash for asking Jenner to be part of the project.
Fans were not impressed as a Twitter user pointed at Normani who also made a cameo alongside Sukihana, Rubi Rose, Mulatto and Rosalía, perform a dance sequence while Kylie walked down the hall and opened a door. This move was seen as Black women doing most of all the work while “white women do the bare minimum to get somewhere”.
