Geezer Butler among many who don't like new Cardi B song "WAP"

 Not surprisingly, this song is considered nasty to a lot of people, including Geezer Butler.

Among those who don't like the new hit song "WAP" from Cardi B, Geezer is among them. In an interview with Kerrang! Magazine, Butler stated "It's disgusting! A friend of mine who didn't know what the song was about but his 10-year old girl was singing it. I was like "what?!" To put it on an album, fair enough. But to put it out as a single? That's...a bit much."

The song's title more or less means "wet ass pussy". This phrase is repeated several times through the song, in addition to descriptions of sexual acts. This single was released by Cardi B in August and features Megan Three Stallion, an up-and-coming rapper on guest vocals. This drew the attention of conservative people because of it's highly illicit lyrics. Despite this, it stayed for four weeks at #1

In the same interview, the Black Sabbath bassist/lyricist further explained. "I remember when Elvis came out everybody said he was Satan. And then in the '60s and '70s he became America's national treasure. It happens with every new wave of music. Like metal, obviously. The Christians were going mental when Sabbath came about. And then when rap came about, people were up in arms about that and certain words rappers were using."

Fans of Cardi B claim the song is about female empowerment, a message supposedly lost on Butler. He's admitted he's probably not among the target fans of the song, noting that at age 71 he's "a bloody old goat."
