Cardi B just urged Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (also known as AOC) to run for president of the United States in 2024.
The “WAP” singer responded to a video that the American politician uploaded to her Instagram story.
In the video, AOC discusses the privilege of being able to have dental work because of her job and health insurance. She made an important point about dental being essential how it should be covered in universal healthcare.
The background track to the video is Cardi B’s song “Bodak Yellow”, which features the lyrics:
Got a bag and fixed my teeth Hope you hoes know it ain't cheap.
When Cardi B saw the video, she tweeted:
She better run for president when she turns 35 https://t.co/TcSfYLGeah— Cardi B (@Cardi B) 1597470175
And then when AOC eventually saw Cardi urging her to run for POTUS in 2024 – when AOC would be 35 years old – she quipped:
@iamcardib Women Against Patriarchy (WAP) 2020 😜— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) 1597497386
It’s a tongue-in-cheek reference to Cardi B’s new song with Megan Thee Stallion, entitled “WAP”, standing for “wet a** p****”.
At the time of writing, AOC’s reply has over 241,000 likes on Twitter compared to Cardi’s tweet, which has 305,000.
And it looked like everyone’s on board:
