Posted by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” has been used for numerous things since its August release. The No. 1 hit may have found a purpose even more people can get behind as we endure yet another month of the COVID-19 pandemic: advocacy for wearing masks.
On Thursday (September 3), actress Kerry Washington shared a photo of Cardi and Megan from the “WAP” video with both women wearing superimposed blue surgical masks along with their pink and yellow gowns.
“WAP until further notice,” the actress wrote on Twitter.
