Cardi B Talks “WAP,” Onlyfans, And CeeLo Green’s Apology

Cardi B is opening up about her new single “WAP” and connecting with her supporters on OnlyFans.

OnlyFans is a content subscription service where content creators can make money from users who subscribe to their content – whatever it may be. Usually, that content includes adult-rated or NSFW material, among other things. But, for Cardi, she plans to use the website to connect with her true supporters. “I have a lot of people that claim they don’t like me. I want to have conversations with my real fans,” said Cardi B during an interview with CNN on Wednesday.

There will be no nude pics coming from the Bronx native; instead, she says she will share exclusive content like behind-the-scenes footage of her hit single, “WAP,” featuring Megan Thee Stallion. Everyone had something to say when “WAP” hit our streaming apps. Some called it too raunchy while others called it liberating; Cardi says she doesn’t get why the song was such a big deal for some people.

“I think the song is nasty, but I was thinking [about all the controversy], wow, like, I don’t know. I’m just so used to it,” the artist said. There seems to be a continuous issue regarding women expressing their sexuality, not just in music but in everyday life. Many conversations have come about following the release of “WAP,” with many women calling out the one-sided, sexist double-standard women are forced under when it comes to sexual expression. Others have also pointed out that men too perpetuate “controversial” and/or “problematic” content within their music, such as gang violence, killing, stealing, and selling drugs.

Musician CeeLo Green recently apologized for making seemingly sexist and borderline “slut-shaming” comments about Cardi and Meg’s music video for “WAP.” “Attention is also a drug and competition is around,” Green said in an interview with Far Out magazine. “Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, they are all more or less doing similar salacious gesturing to kinda get into position. I get it, the independent woman and being in control, the divine femininity and sexual expression. I get it all,” he continued. “It comes at what cost.” On Wednesday, the singer walked back his statements. “I know most of them personally and consider Cardi & [her husband rapper] Offset family,” he said in an Instagram post. Therefore, I would never disrespect them by any means. I acknowledge them all as powerful, beautiful, and influential women…and professionals.”

In response to Green, Cardi said she’s keeping it all positive. “It’s ok; it’s all good. I just want to keep positive energies and stuff like that.” As for her second album, she says she wants to make sure people know she’s here to stay. “I have to prove that, like this wasn’t a gimmick, this wasn’t like a one-time thing. This wasn’t because I was the new girl on the block. It’s my craft, and I want to show that my craft is so good that it’s gonna do good for a second time,” said Cardi.
