The National Center on Sexual Exploitation has blasted the CBS Grammys broadcast, saying it “contributed to the sexual exploitation of women by glamorizing prostitution and stripping.”

The group called Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s performance of their song “WAP” one that “could have been cut from a hardcore p***ography film”

“CBS allowed a glamorization of stripping and prostitution to be broadcast in front of a national audience – a portion of which were children – for no other reason than for TV ratings,” Dawn Hawkins, senior vice president and executive director of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, said in a statement. “Despite the ‘popularity’ of the song performed by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, CBS should have never allowed this kind of explicit performance to happen at the Grammys.”

"Prostitution and stripping are never empowering for women, as they set up systems that exploit and oppress women,” Hawkins continued. “CBS has contributed to furthering the sexual exploitation of women and contributed to the ‘normalization’ of p*** culture.”

Representatives for CBS and the Recording Academy, which puts on the Grammy Awards, did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment on the NCOSE’s statement criticizing the show.

Among the many performances featured on Sunday night’s live primetime Grammy Awards telecast was Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s on-stage rendition of their song “WAP,” a track filled with explicit lyrics. (The title itself is an abbreviation for “wet ass p—y.”) The singers changed many of the original lines in “WAP” during their performance and CBS censored out others.

good

cardi b is gross

Ain’t nobody watching the Grammys 😂😂😂😂

who

honestly surprised the grammys let them do that performance

nobody can say theyre wrong

but thats what happens when people have zero respect for themselves and would do anything for a bit of money

but theyre entitled to do what they want- grammys are the ones that deserve criticism for this (if anyone wants to criticise)

Saw stills from their performance and it did look like p*** ngl

The usual suspects itt hating on women.

They were scissoring on stage lol

considering award shows are meant to be 'family friendly' types of tv shows/events.... it really was pushing every boundary possible

Man, shut up. A song about women embracing their sexuality is a bad thing just because they’re being paid for it? You sound silly.

Pics?

embrace it on the AVN awards bro

scissoring on stage while talking about your 'wet ass p****' on a tv award show that will be watched by families is 'embracing your sexualilty'

you really think that little of women dont you?

Iconic status of this song keeps going up

It is super interesting that America allows this on TV but saying f*** is too much

But I guess you have to be a crazy conservetive or isis member to think this performance wasn’t okay

Thank you for your contribution to this conversation!

h**** mf's not realising theres a time and a place for certain things
