When two of the most prominent female rappers collaborate on a song, you get a surefire hit! Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have joined forces once again for Cardi\u2019s latest track, \u201cBongos.\u201d Let\u2019s delve into its meaning.<\/p>\n
Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock, you\u2019ve likely heard Megan and Cardi\u2019s initial collaboration, \u201cWAP.\u201d This 2020 hit made waves with its explicit lyrics, and its music video featured notable figures like Kylie Jenner, Normani, and others, further boosting its popularity. It claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and swiftly became the anthem of the summer. Given Cardi and Megan\u2019s track record, it\u2019s no surprise that when Cardi was working on \u201cBongos,\u201d Megan immediately came to mind for a feature.<\/p>\n
During an interview with DJ Whoo Kid on his podcast \u201cWhoo\u2019s House,\u201d prior to the song\u2019s release, Cardi expressed how she instinctively felt that Megan was the perfect addition to the new track. She stated, \u201cI hear her [Megan] on this. I know it.\u201d When the \u201cHot Girl Summer\u201d rapper sent over her verse, it solidified Cardi\u2019s belief that she had made the right choice in featuring Megan on the song. Released in early September 2023, while it hasn\u2019t achieved the same level of success as \u201cWAP,\u201d it remains an enjoyable track with equally explicit content.<\/p>\n
\u201cBongos\u201d is unequivocally about sex. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion left no detail unexplored in their intimate lives with \u201cWAP,\u201d and they continue in the same vein with their second collaboration. Although \u201cBongos\u201d may seem like a sequel to \u201cWAP,\u201d Cardi assures that it\u2019s not. She explained on the \u201cWhoo\u2019s House\u201d podcast, \u201cI wonder how people are gonna react to this vibe because they\u2019re really like expecting \u2018WAP,\u2019 like, \u2018oh, here they go again talking this and that. We are talking a little, you know, about some p***y, but not like \u2018WAP\u2019 type of stuff.\u201d Cardi candidly acknowledges the focus on sex in the song, evident in the explicit lyrics.<\/p>\n
Megan\u2019s feature further affirms the song\u2019s emphasis on sex. She raps, \u201cMy back shots sound like bongos \/ I ain\u2019t scared to admit I\u2019m a freak h**.\u201d Megan\u2019s verse employs slang for a specific sex position, openly expressing her enjoyment of intimacy. \u201cBongos\u201d leaves no room for ambiguity, offering a vivid portrayal of Cardi and Megan\u2019s love lives set to a lively drumbeat.<\/p>\n
Beyond its explicit content, \u201cBongos\u201d also appears to serve as a farewell to the rappers\u2019 detractors. Throughout the track, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion throw shade at those who may not be supporters of their work. Cardi kicks off with lines like, \u201cEvery time I turn around, a b***h pissed off (Ah-ha) \/ Little dusty-a** h*** need a lint brush (Woo),\u201d essentially dismissing various forms of negativity. Both Cardi and Megan have experienced their fair share of haters, and in \u201cBongos,\u201d they address them head-on, making it clear that they won\u2019t tolerate any disrespect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
