Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have hosted a "WAP"-ping celebration of female sexuality with $1 million cash prizes after their collaboration debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (chart dated Aug. 22).
And the music video attracted more than 120 million YouTube views (at publishing time of this piece), reeling in tributes to icons before them and ushering in new hotties to join them at the playful, splashy zoo-like house. "WAP" is being heralded as an empowering anthem and visual for Black women who unabashedly take the reins of their own narrative, one that's typically untold or degraded in an industry ravaged by misogynoir, and paint their own watercolor picture of success with every color in the book.
So to keep the celebration of "WAP" going, we've prepared an 11-question quiz testing your knowledge of the ins and outs of the luxurious mansion featured in the music video and its esteemed guests. Test your knowledge below -- remember, 60% needed for a passing grade -- and let's hope there are some winners in this house.

It’s exponentially worse
Accompanied by allowing women and black people to basically do anything they want free of being criticized
It’s glorified by today’s culture to be honest as though Cardi B is a trailblazer of progress

Thank you. Those are informative and illustrative...anyone going to The Guardian, The Root, The Conversation, or the NYT for a proper discussion of “art” is barking up the wrong tree. Indeed, none were about art -the Root’s piece was all about criticism for the inclusion in the video of Kylie Jenner and white cats (who in the Wide World of Sports cares about those things?), while the Guardian and Conversation’s pieces were straw men about criticism being misogyny and/or cloaked fear (oh, puh-leeze). The Times’ article was an informercial for Dr Gunter.
True but that’s 90% of what modern culture fans see
