Cardi B is popularly known for being provocative whether it be in her outfits and red-carpet appearances, or her live TV performances on award ceremonies. However, there was one specific performance that broke the internet and the rapper took her time recently to reflect on it.
According to Uproxx, the musician performed the track "WAP" together with Megan Thee Stallion during the 2021 Grammy Awards and it received negative comments and remarks from social media users that lasted for days.

The performance made a lot of headlines days after the Grammys 2021 aired and conservative commentator Tucker Carlson shared his thoughts over the performance, especially because at the time, the rapper was set to appear on the animated show "Baby Shark's Big Show!" on Nickelodeon.
"It's like a lot of growling and sexless talking about sex. And if you think it's an overstatement, check out this song from someone calling herself Cardi B," he said. (via BET)
He then played the music video of the song and he even reacted to the Grammys performance itself and noted that the rapper and her collaborator, Megan Thee Stallion, were trying to degrade their culture and "hurt our children."
