Wait, *what* inspired the WAP video? Cardi B & director Colin Tilley explain

A new"Vevo Footnotes" clip on Thursday gives a look into the making of"WAP," and the music video's director Colin Tilley shared that he's"a big Tim Burton fan, I would say I’m always inspired by childhood books, Dr. Suess, etc.” The characteristically distorted styles of the childhood favorites can be seen in the gaudy, funhouse-esque nature of the mansion Cardi and Meg explore in the video.

The footnotes also reveal how Cardi B decided on that final, infectious hook--and turns out, she didn't really like it at first."I just had like an original hook to ‘WAP’ and I didn’t really like it," she shared."I sent it to some female artists to see if they could do the hook, they couldn’t really do it and I started playing around again with the hook and was like, 'You know what? I’m just going to keep it like that.

Normani Was Super Excited to Be in Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion's 'WAP' Video: 'We Were All About Female Empowerment' As for Cardi's favorite part of the video? The solo shots. “I really liked my solo, I like both solos because I just really thought and I knew that it was gonna be so fire. A room completely covered with cheetah.”

“A room covered with like, tigers," she said of Megan's moment."I originally wanted Megan to have a spider on her head, I don’t know why, I just thought it was gonna be so beautiful.”
