Black Sabbath Bassist says Cardi B’s ‘WAP’ is “Disgusting’

Bad news for Black Sabbath fans: the band’s Geezer Butler is starting to sound like an old man.

The legendary bassist has called out rapper Cardi B for her “disgusting” hit song, “WAP,” which he calls “garbage.” He says, “A friend of mine 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 album, fair enough. But to put it out as a single? That’s a it’s a bit much. Then again, I’m 71. A bloody old goat.”

Butler goes on to concede that most boundary-breaking music is initially viewed as offensive and tasteless. “I remember when Elvis came out everybody said he was Satan,” Butler recalls. “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 that rappers were using. I have to say, though, that Cardi B p*sses me off with that ‘WAP’ song. It’s disgusting!”

What do you think of “WAP?” What’s the most offensive song you’ve heard?
