Nothing — not even Ben Shapiro's nightmarish lyric reading — could stop powerhouses Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's song "WAP" from debuting at number one on the Billboard charts. It didn't just top the charts, either. The song received a record-breaking 93 million streams in the first week after its release, Billboard reported.
As a way to thank their fans, the rappers collaborated with Cash App and Twitter to give away $1 million to women in $500 increments:

"Y'all made #WAP amazing," Cardi said on Twitter. The instructions to reap the benefits are simple: Drop your $cashtag and say why you or a woman you know deserves the cash.
This isn't a surprising move from Cash App, which promotes its own giveaways with #CashAppFridays and even #SuperCashAppFriday. Their influencer marketing strategy also heavily relies on hip-hop stars, which has contributed to its growth according to Trapital, a site that reports on the business of hip-hop.
Shortly after the announcement dropped, the screenshots began to roll in:
