Cardi B taking to her social media page, said she has no regrets or whatsoever with Kylie Jenner being in the WAP video, which was a new music single with Megan Thee Stallion.
Writer and producer Danielle Young called out how different Jenner’s cameo is from Normani’s, commenting on a clip of the singer dancing while “Kylie walked down the hall and opened a door.” in the WAP video.
“If that’s not a perfect visual indication of Black women having to do the most and white women do the bare minimum to get somewhere, I don’t know what is,” Young tweeted.
Normani did ALL this and Kylie walked down the hall and opened a door.

The best part of the song is the beat & hook it what makes you want to shake your a**,” Cardi replied.
