Cardi Defends Kylie In WAP Video: “This Is Not About F*ckin Race!”

The WAP video is still making folks sweat. There are people that love, people that hate it, and people that think Kylie Jenner had no place in it at all. But, when it comes to those last group of folks, Cardi B has a message … KJ ain’t going no where!

Kylie’s cameo lasted all of 10 seconds, but it was enough to have people starting a petition to get the reality star edited out. So far, the Change.org petition has collected over 65,000 signatures … and counting!

Fans also cried out on social media comparing Kylie’s hallway saunter to Normani’s full out routine…

Normani did ALL this and Kylie walked down the hall and opened a door.

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. https://t.co/ZGvbfzQeLs

However, instead of heeding to the petition’s request to remove Jenner, Cardi took to Twitter and defended her in a series of now-deleted tweets.

“Normani is one of the best female artist that dances Like she dances her f—kin ass off! Why would she open a door? Please tell me how that would make sense? The best part of the song is the beat & hook it what makes you want to shake your ass,” Cardi wrote.

She continued, “Not everything is about race. Theres issues out here in the world that it is about race that I preach all the time about. This is not about f—kin race.”

Cardi also talked about how kind Kylie was to her daughter Kulture, and her sister, Hennessy Carolina, while at a birthday party. Plus, KJ’s mom, Kris Jenner, also gives the rapper great advice. Essentially, according to Cardi, Kylie earned her spot in that video.

However, fans still think there was someone else better suited for the role…
