But Ben Shapiro does not seem to agree with the positive response for the song. In the recent episode of his show, the host did a dramatic reading of the WAP lyrics. During this dramatic read, Ben started by clarifying to his fans that “wet *** p-word” stands for female genitalia, in case any of his listeners were unaware.

He also added that as the song progressed the lyrics got more vulgar and hence it does not stand as a feminist anthem. This dramatic reading clip went viral in no time.
