CeeLo Green Takes A Dig At ‘Wap’ Artists

CeeLo Green is taking a dig at the top three female rappers today, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. But specifically for the ‘Wap’ song which has already been criticized by people since the time of the release for the explicit content on the song as well as for disrespecting various cultures.

The lyrics of ‘Wap’ are definitely raunchy. It looks like, CeeLo Green is not impressed and he has his reasons. On a recent magazine interview, the ‘Cry Baby’ singer spoke about the right time for adult content and how the current music is shameless.

What Did CeeLo Green Say?

CeeLo Green said, “A lot of music today is very unfortunate and disappointing on a personal and moral level. There was once a time when we were savvy enough to code certain things. We could express to those it was meant for with the style of language we used. But now music is shameless, it is sheer savagery. There should be a time and a place for adult content.”

CeeLo Green just did not diss the current music scene but also went on to mention Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B for increasing the trend. While he wonders the “cost” of doing explicit content, he takes a dig at them.

“Attention is also a drug and competition is around. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, they are all more or less doing similar salacious gesturing to kinda get into position. I get it, the independent woman and being in control, the divine femininity and sexual expression. I get it all.”

CeeLo Green even dragged Nicki Minaj into the conversation by calling her content, “desperate”. But the only positive thing he could say about her or in over all was that she deserved to be on the top, among the female rappers.

“You have the ‘Heads of State,’ like Nicki Minaj or someone who is up there in accolade: success, visibility, a platform to influence. Nicki could be effective in so many other constructive ways, but it feels desperate.”

The comments from CeeLo Green have made people on the internet call him a hypocrite because of his own songwriting. We don’t know about how Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are going to react but we are sure that, this dig is definitely going to “cost” him.
