Megan The Stallion and Cardi B both enjoyed drawn-out moments in the spotlight upon their arrival to mainstream music through the last half-decade of hip-hop.
With the rising success of her “Bodak Yellow” single, Cardi’s moment came in late-2017 and continued throughout 2018 thanks to her debut album, Invasion Of Privacy. Megan Thee Stallion’s achievement would begin at the top of 2019 as her Tina Snow standout, “Big Ole Freak,” was released.
Megan then began her mainstay on the singles charts with efforts like “Cash Sh*t” and “Savage.” Now, Cardi and Megan are both two of music’s most popular acts, so it’s only right they join forces for a new anthem.
Cardi and Megan’s “Wap” was announced earlier this week, becoming the two rappers’ first collaboration. Fans first became aware of the prospect of the Cardi and Megan working together after DJ Khaled revealed a single existed between the two artists.
Fans crashed Cardi B’s website as they all rushed to grab a copy of a vinyl picture disc, or other versions of the song, one of which included a limited edition signed by Cardi days after the announcement and less 48 hours before the song released.
The single marks the third time Megan has collaborated with one of music’s most popular female acts following her “Hot Girl Summer” track which featured Nicki Minaj and her chart-topping “Savage” remix with Beyonce. Both artists are hard at work on their upcoming albums with “Wap” serving as the lead single for Cardi’s upcoming sophomore effort. As for Megan, she recently revealed her album will address the Black Lives Matter movement and arrive by the end of the summer.
