Carole doesn’t want this smoke…

It appears Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘WAP’ video is continuing to cause controversy and drama, first being criticised for its inclusion of Kylie Jenner (the petition to have Jenner removed surpassed over 70,000 signatures), and now copping heat for its inclusion of tigers.

But it didn’t just cop flack from some random or internet troll, but none other than Tiger King star and alleged husband-murderer Carole Baskin herself, who expressed her concern about how including big cats in music videos such as ‘WAP’ was exploitative.

Speaking on the tiger inclusion, Baskin wrote “You have to pose a wildcat in front of a green screen to get that image and that doesn’t happen in the wild. It can’t happen in sanctuaries like ours where cats have plenty of room to avoid a green screen (or would shred it if offered access and could die from ingesting it). That tells me they probably dealt with one of the big cat pimps, probably even one of the ones shown in Tiger King, Murder, Mayhem and Madness, who make a living from beating, shocking and starving cats to make them stand on cue in front of a green screen in a studio.”

Cardi caught wind of Baskin’s remarks, and of course, responded in classic Cardi style saying in an interview with Vice “I’m not gonna engage with Carole Baskin on that. Like, that’s just ridiculous you know? Oh, Lord. Like, girl you killed your goddamn husband.”

Damn Cardi literally has zero chill, and it’s safe to say Baskin isn’t ready to go head to head with her. More on this story as it unfolds folks.
