4 d Share with: Cardi B is embracing the conservative backlash to her raunchy Grammy Awards performance of WAP, because the controversy is only helping to drive up video views of the set. The rapper teamed up with song collaborator Megan Thee Stallion to turn up the heat at Sunday's ceremony with a steamy rendition of the X-rated tune, which saw the stars bump and grind against one another onstage. The set sent conservative political commentators into a spin, with pundit Candace Owens claiming the performance of WAP was "an attack on American values", adding: "We are celebrating perversity." However, Cardi, who has always made it clear the song was not for children, insisted having haters discuss the topic on TV and online has only served to boost YouTube views of her Grammys appearance, which ultimately benefits her.
