To be fair, there are women who say that to their children (teenage and young adults) the reason for saying that is often an issue of values, men and women of certain convictions (socially conservative or even feminists) wouldn't necessarily want cardi b as their role model and advise others to follow suit for their specific set of reasons.
For example, the question of women supporting "toxic masculinity" rappers is often raised too amongst feminists.

Why cant it be about both?

Reclaiming sexuality
They like the way they look
It sells records
Artistic reasons
They like the attention
It’s a feminist statement

Just to name a few

All are possible reasons. All are legitimate reasons. All should be their choice and not ours

Lmao at the ones saying this is empowering for women

A true artist in every sense of the word

Whole neighborhoods flipped to BD in Chicago because of Chief Keef what are you saying lol

Because the label needs to recoup their budget ASAP

the post edit on page 1 @blahblahem lost the battle, won the war

Because that’s what a lot grew up on/around.

My top 5 this year?

It is lame for people to have high expectations for the Megs and Cardi B’s of the world. I think people are just worried of how much a platform a song like Wet Ass P**** is getting and how it reflects society cause art imitates life.

He’s got a point

Nobody can tell me what their expressing. How is “”their sexuality” an answer?

Lotta rappers grew up in poverty so no.
All time or this year don’t matter

How is it not

Yes these are all “possible” except 2 which we know are for certain. Which brings us back to expression. We should be able to tell they are expressing those things but we don’t do they are expressing nothing
