Rappers Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s performance of the raunchy song “WAP” during the Grammy Awards drew concern from some social media commenters, who said the song was too risque to show on network television.
“The left is fine with the disgusting performance Cardi B just gave at the Grammys but Dr. Seuss is too dangerous for our children?” Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk tweeted Sunday evening.

The two female rappers took the stage during the 63rd Grammy Awards and performed the controversial song, complete with them entangling their legs on a bed and gyrating on screen. Lyrics of the song include, “I want you to park that big Mack truck right in this little garage,” and “I let him taste it, now he diabetic.”
Host Trevor Noah warned viewers ahead of the performance that it might not be suitable for children, quipping that parents can tell their children “it’s a song about giving a cat a bath.”

I’m a pretty laid back person, but having WAP featured on the #GRAMMYs is absolutely disgusting and ridiculous.
