Snoop Dogg lashed out at media outlets this weekend for reporting on comments he made about the Cardi B hit “WAP” ft. Megan Thee Stallion.
“Stop wit the bulls**t press,” he wrote on Instagram. “I love Cardi b and Meg. Music period point blank and they know that I’m n full support of the female M. C. Movement so stop trying to make me a hater.
“Now carry on … That song 6xs platinum talk about that.”
On an episode of Central Ave last week, Snoop said of the controversial song’s lyrics: “Oh my God. Slow down. Like, slow down. And let’s have some imagination. Let’s have some, you know, privacy, some intimacy where he wants to find out as opposed to you telling him.”
He said the titular body part “should be a possession that no one gets to know about until they know about it.”
The 49-year-old rapper admitted the song is not targeted at his demographic. “When I was young, 21 or 22, I may have been with the movement, I probably would have been on the remix,” said Snoop. “But as an older man, it’s like, I love it that they’re expressing themselves and doing their thing, I just don’t want it that fashionable to where young girls feel like they can express themselves like that without even knowing that that is a jewel that they hold onto until the right person comes around.”
Cardi B’s husband, rapper Offset, responded to Snoop’s comments via TMZ.
“I hate when men do that. I don’t do that … I just don’t get in females' business,” he said. “It’s entertainment. That’s a No. 1 record. So anybody can say what they want to say. Six times platinum in three, four months, it’s a No. 1 record and it wasn’t that bad because it went No. 1.”
Offset pointed out that male rappers “talk about the same s**t” and female ones are only “catching up to us, passing us, and setting records.”
He made it clear he was not dissing Snoop. “That’s my boy. But, at the same time, I say all men should stay out of women's business. You ain’t gon’ have no win.”
