Cardi B Responds To Critics After Being Seen Hilariously Shielding Kulture From ‘WAP’ - Blavity

Cardi B responded to fans who cried foul after she turned off her mega-hit single “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion because her daughter Kulture entered the room. The 28-year-old responded to critics with a powerful and succinct message via Twitter. “Ya needs to stop with this already! I’m not Jojo Siwa! I don’t make music for kids. I make music for adults. Parents are responsible on what their children listen to or see. I’m a very sexual person but not around my child just like every other parent should be,” she wrote.
