Row over cameo on Cardi B video

WELCOME to 2020 – where doing stuff that is NOT racist apparently IS racist!

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion recently treated fans to a visual masterpiec­e with their collaborat­ion on the WAP music video.

And the duo even included a special cameo, as Kylie Jenner made a very brief but impressive appearance.

But some fans weren’t too pleased with the addition of the Kylie Cosmetics mogul and launched a petition to remove her from the video – which has had more than 24 million views on YouTube.

The Change.org petition has reached more than 37,000 of 50,000 signatures, stating: ‘The video was perfect until we saw K and I wanted to throw my phone.’

One person commented: ‘I was happily enjoying my daily cup of brown women until that culture stealing colonizer showed up and made me spill. Thankyou’

Another wrote: ‘ she is a culture vulture who doesn’t remember how her own complexion looks! down with the culture vultures!!!’

It comes amid several memes throwing shade at the appearance, as many are unhappy with a white woman appearing in a video with black women.

But Cardi came to the defence of the multi-millionair­e, posting to Twitter: ‘I wanna say thank you to every woman that was a part of my video!

‘It was so important to me to include different women, that are different races and come from different background­s but are so powerful and influentia­l.’

One fan said: “Bollocks to the touchy racial politics. I just enjoyed Kylie’s busters. Phwoar!”
