As the title suggests, the WAP dance challenge on TikTok involves users trying to recreate the sexy moves from Cardi B and Megan's music video – and sharing the results with their followers.
Within hours of the early August drop of “WAP” by rappers Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, YouTube choreographer Brian Esperon posted a fast-paced and joyful routine to the female empowerment anthem with not-safe-for-work lyrics. By the next day, he watched as a TikTok segment streaked toward viral status.
What does WAP mean? WAP is a slang acronym that stands for wet-ass pussy. The acronym was created and popularized by hip-hop artist Cardi B in her hit August 2020 single “WAP.”

B is an affectionate term for a loved one. It is often times used to address a homie, ya girl, or ya moms.
Over the summer, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion blessed the world by dropping the sex-positive, empowering banger, "WAP." The title is an acronym for “wet ass pussy,” and the song itself seeks to normalize and celebrate female-identifying people being unapologetically sexual and prioritizing their pleasure.

In short, “WAP” is empowering because it opposes every traditionally enforced societal expectations. It objectifies women and takes power from it anyway.
"WAP," it turns out, is an extremely explicit acronym, and the lyrics on the track are just as R-rated.

The song's popularity has inspired a new dance craze 'The WAP challenge' that's taking over TikTok. The dance that features suggestive poses, flips, and splits have been taken part by a number of celebrities including Tik Tok stars Addison Rae and Charli D'amelio.

“Not everything is about race.” She also explained that Jenner was cast partly because she was kind to Cardi and her daughter, Kulture, at Jenner's daughter's birthday party. She added that her husband Offset is “real close” with Travis Scott and Kris Jenner's partner Corey Gamble.
