Carole Baskin Reacts To Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion's 'WAP' Music Video

Tiger King's Carole BaskinĀ is bringing out her claws overĀ Cardi BĀ andĀ Megan Thee Stallionā€™s new video.

The rappers broke the internet on Friday (August 7) with the highly-anticipated release of their new joint,Ā ā€œWAP,ā€Ā a raunchy collaboration that sees both musicians boasting about their lady parts. When the bop dropped, however, all the attention was drawn to the star-studded, feline-friendly visual, which features Cardi and Meg rapping and dancing alongside myriad exotic animals, including leopards and white tigers. (The two even wear leopard- and tiger-print outfits in the video.)

So naturally, the big-cat rights activistā€™s reaction to the project was not a happy one. According to TMZ, Baskin claims Cardi and Megā€™s video sends a ā€œterrible message and is harmful to the future of big cats.ā€

Worse, Baskin bashed the visual for its way of glamorizing ā€œkeeping tigers as petsā€ as she believes it will make ā€œevery ignorant follower want to imitate by doing the same.ā€

Even though Baskin understands the big cats seemed to be only digitally included in the visual, she maintains her stance against such exploitation, insisting its projects like these might inspire more producers to work with ā€œbig cat pimpsā€ like Doc Antle or Mario Tabraue, whom she thinks ā€œmistreats cats.ā€ (Both have denied these claims.)

Big cats aside, most fans seemed to enjoy the visuals and various cameos in the video, including surprise appearances by Normani,Ā Rosalia,Ā Rubi Rose,Ā Sukihana, andĀ Mulatto.

If left up to the fans, however, we'd guess they'd rather there be more cats in place of Kylie Jennerā€™s unexpected cameo. If you think weā€™re kidding, just check out this online petition to have the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star cut from the music video.
