Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” earned five nominations from the VMAs back in 2021. The raunchy song debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was performed live at the 2021 Grammy Awards. However, “WAP” was not submitted for Grammy consideration, reportedly holding off for Cardi’s next album campaign.
As for other Megan and Cardi news: the former Houston rapper is still coasting off the success of her sophomore studio album Traumazine, which was released in August 2022. In the brief year since then, she hosted Saturday Night Live and guest-starred in the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and the not-yet-released movie Dicks: The Musical. As for Cardi B, “Bongos” follows her singles “Hot Sh--” from last year and 2021’s “Up.” It’s been five years since her 2018 debut LP, Invasion of Privacy, was released.
