If Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion Want to Drop a “WAP” Remix, I Have Ideas on Who to Include

I hold strong to the belief that you shouldn’t mess with perfection but in the case of Cardi B and Megan thee Stallion’s “WAP,” I prefer to think of this exercise as going the extra mile to reach a god-tier level of transcendence. The single and music video are collaborative masterpieces (which I would know a thing or two about) with the two rappers alone, but the addition of some key voices in a mega-remix would make “WAP” a historic record among the likes of Lil’ Kim’s “Ladies Night (Not Tonight Remix)” featuring Missy Elliott, Da Brat, Left Eye, and Angie Martinez and Moulin Rouge! version of “Lady Marmalade” with Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mýa, and Pink.
Ahead, I’ve rounded up a list of several artists that would not only look damn good in those sexy, luxurious looks from the video but would take “WAP” from a certified bop to legendary status. And just imagine the behind-the-scenes peeks we’d get from having all of them in one place together (with the proper safety precautions, of course). Take a hopeful stroll with me and cross your fingers, wilder things have happened in 2020!

Big Freedia
If there’s anything that can elevate “WAP” to a whole new level, it’s the Queen of Bounce! Big Freedia’s energy is undeniable, and there hasn’t been a beat to date that she can’t get booties popping to, so we know that her verse would definitely give some bounce to “WAP!”

Normani
Normani made her cameo in the video and, of course, gave us that iconic eight count with a split finish. But just imagine if she broke out into a little riff on the chorus or pulled a Beyoncé and showed out with a few bars?

Saweetie
Saweetie is almost an easy go-to considering her connection to Cardi, but there’s no doubt that the rapper’s fabulously cocky flow would mesh perfectly with the song’s vibe.

Flo Milli
If you haven’t been introduced to Flo Milli, welcome to the bandwagon, friend! The rapper’s smooth confidence would be the perfect topping to the already saucy dish that is “WAP.”

Missy Elliiot
For those who might not know, Missy Elliot has never been shy to a dirty mix or two. Adding the icon to a “WAP” remix would not only be an auditory treat but also a visual one. Just imagine the visuals Missy would bring!

Trina
You can’t round up a list of female rappers without Trina on it and she would be a highly appreciated addition to “WAP.” (And any other song, to be quite honest.)

Nicki Minaj
Okay, this is probably one of the most unlikely features considering Nicki’s past with Cardi B, but maybe they’ve decided to let bygones be bygones? After all, they’ve both collaborated with Megan, and she could be the piece of the puzzle that finally brings these two queens of rap to a reconciliation! And if a “WAP” remix happens to be the project in which they debut their new friendship, fans would truly weep in appreciation. And as we all know, there’s never been a song that hasn’t been upgraded by a Nicki feature.
