Cardi B was quick to respond on Twitter, asking why a US representative would bring up her performance of “WAP” when the country is still dealing with issues of police brutality after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering George Floyd on Tuesday (April 20).
“This gets me so mad ya don’t even know! I think we all been on edge this week since we seen the police brutality back to back including watching one of the biggest case in history go down DUE to police brutality but wait! This is wat state representative decide to talk about,” she tweeted.
“Making this album was like heart surgery, I was desperate, in pain, and poured my heart into electronic music that slammed harder than any drug I could find,” she wrote.
“I fell apart after I released this album. Thank you for celebrating something that once felt like destruction,” she added. “We always believed it was ahead of its time. Years later turns out, sometimes, artists know. And so do little monsters. Paws up.”
Last week, DJ White Shadow, who produced many of the songs on the album, revealed he had contacted Gaga about a petition from fans calling for a sequel to the album, which currently has over 39,000 signatures.
