00:02WAP became hot.
00:04Wait, can we first clear the air on who introduced you to Meg?
00:07Oh, my goodness.
00:08Because back to y'all saying that Atlantic Records gives me checks.
00:13Not only did they not give me checks, I ain't got no plaque.
00:15I didn't get no, Julie, you can fix that.
00:17I ain't get no, I don't even want no WAP, but I didn't get no nothing.
00:22And I remember being in the hotel with you and the team.
00:24I think Tokyo was there and Colin and Brooklyn Giant, different people,
00:29and you were playing all these different songs you had.
00:30And when you got to that song, everybody in the room looked at each other
00:32and was like, and Meg wasn't on at the time.
00:34We all heard that she was like, yo, the gays is going to be in the club
00:38like my WAP, even though they ain't got the WAP.
00:40Then you're going to have the strikers, then you're going to have the women.
00:43You felt it was a hit.
00:44You knew that was going to be like, out of here.
00:47I kind of did, but I kind of didn't because I'm really hard on myself with music.
00:52But you did put us on the phone one time.
00:55I think you was in a party with her.
00:56You was like, look at Megan, this is Megan.
00:58I was at the MTV Awards.
00:59Yeah, and he was like, Cardi, this is Megan.
01:01I'm like, okay, Jason, let me just get to know the girl.
01:03Let me find a record that I think she will fit on.
01:07She didn't.
01:07Then I sent her Meg's number and then they did the record and I need my plaque.
01:11No, but that song was, and then you even putting Kylie in there,
01:13just the way, and another thing, another factor people may not know is
01:17I did see the rough cut of the video.
01:20I'm going to tell you how, before it came out,
01:22and I saw that they didn't give enough of the women enough shine.
01:25The other women, Rosalia, Sukiana, and Lotto, right?
01:29Yeah.
01:30And your note to them was, put them more in the video.
