Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion Secure Victory in WAP Lawsuit
In a resounding legal victory, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have emerged triumphant in a recent lawsuit revolving around one of the most iconic songs of the 2020s. It’s the tale of “WAP,” the catchy and audacious anthem that took the music world by storm.
Back in 2020, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion teamed up to create “WAP,” a song that instantly became the talk of the town. With its bold and provocative lyrics, the track not only sparked controversy but also soared to the top of the charts, solidifying its place in pop culture history.
However, in the midst of their success, the duo faced a legal challenge. Rapper Necey X claimed that Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion had lifted lyrics from her song, “Grab Em.” The courtroom showdown loomed large, threatening the legacy of “WAP.”
According to Billboard, the judge presiding over the case, Andrew L. Carter, delivered a verdict in favor of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. He deemed the lyrics in question as nothing more than common phrases, widely used in popular culture and various hip-hop tracks. Judge Carter stated that the concept of employing explicit language as a rhetorical device in a song was neither unique nor original to the plaintiff.
Furthermore, the judge pointed out that other songs predating “Grab Em” had used similar variations of explicit phrases. This legal victory arrives at a time when both Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have been relatively quiet on the music front.
“WAP” achieved a remarkable feat by spending four weeks at the number one spot on the Hot 100 chart. Notably, it became the first collaboration among female rap artists to debut at the top spot in its very first week.
