With millions of views on YouTube and plenty of headlines made around the world, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘WAP’ has had its fair share of spotlight.
Now it’s back in the headlines, but Cardi and Megan aren’t the stars of this story.
The song’s sexually freeing lyrics have been given new life thanks to the American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter tasked with interpreting Megan Thee Stallion’s set at Lollapalooza Music Festival.
A video of the interpreter made the rounds on Twitter after it was shared by user @AlexaLisitza.

“EXCUSE ME BUT THE SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER DURING MEGAN’S PERFORMANCE OF WAP MUST BE SEEN” read Alexa’s tweet – now with more than 270,000 likes, 47,000 retweets, and 4.1 million views.
The interpreter seen in the clip is @kelly4access on Instagram, and credits @freelove19xx, real name Raven Sutton, as the original creator of the song’s interpretation. In fact, since her appearance at Lollapalooza, it seems Kelly has decided to use her platform (now a platform on Instagram of more than 85,000 people) to amplify the talents of Deaf creators and influencers.
Now that’s what we call using your powers for good!
