The music video for Cardi B’s newest single, “W.A.P.,” (ft. Megan Thee Stallion) has been trending on YouTube (currently sitting at 60 million views) and Social Media since it dropped at midnight Friday morning, and California Congressional Candidate, James P. Bradley isn’t the only one who takes issues with the song/video, which he came across “accidentally.”

In an interview with Billboard, Carol Baskins (of Tiger King fame) took issue with the music video for the song because as she told the website, “the worst part is that it glamorizes the idea of rich people having tigers as pets.” And even though they didn’t use live tigers for the video, Baskins took issue with that as well:
You have to pose a wildcat in front of a green screen to get that image and that doesn’t happen in the wild,” she told the outlet. “It can’t happen in sanctuaries like ours where cats have plenty of room to avoid a green screen (or would shred it if offered access and could die from ingesting it). That tells me they probably dealt with one of the big cat pimps, who makes a living from beating, shocking and starving cats to make them stand on cue in front of a green screen in a studio
It’s interesting to learn that they use real big cats in order to do the motion capturing (if true), but it seems like Carol doesn’t have the most credibility.
