MILEY CYRUS GETS CAMEO BY MONICA LEWINSKY IN EPIC PODCAST EPISODE!

In a shocking turn of events, Miley Cyrus left Monica Lewinsky blushing and burying her face in her hands during their explosive discussion on WAP on the latest episode of Cyrus' podcast, Reclaiming. The 32-year-old pop sensation was dishing out all the tea on her most iconic songs, including her hit single "WAP", when things took a hilarious turn.

Miley, who's known for pushing boundaries and being unapologetically herself, dove into the graphic sex term that left Monica Lewinsky looking like she wanted to crawl under a rock. The cyberbullying activist was caught off guard by Miley's candid explanation of what WAP actually stands for – a phrase that has been making headlines since its release.

The 32-year-old Hannah Montana star was discussing her difficult transition from the Disney Channel into adult pop star: 'What I did wasn't shocking, it was who I was that was shocking'

"I'm not going to sugarcoat it," Miley said with a cheeky grin, "WAP stands for Wet A* P*, okay? And it got performed at the 2021 Grammys." Monica's eyes widened in surprise as she buried her face in her hands, muttering "I'm a loser" under her breath. We can't help but wonder what was going through her mind – shock, horror, or maybe even a little bit of excitement?

The two women had an open and honest conversation about their respective journeys to fame. Miley spoke candidly about her transition from Disney darling Hannah Montana to adult pop star, explaining that it wasn't just about shedding her innocent image, but also about embracing her true self.

"I was coming from a place where I was a kid star, and people were shocked by what I did because they didn't know who I really was," Miley revealed. "But Cardi B isn't for kids, she's not a child star like me. She's unapologetically herself, and that's why her music resonates with so many people."

'Like if you imagine you know a couple years ago, like WAP, you know what it's about,' Miley noted

Miley also shared how she felt shamed for being too provocative at times, citing her infamous 2013 VMAs performance as an example. "I dressed up as a teddy bear, and I got shamed, but Cardi B isn't afraid to be herself," Miley said. "She's not a child star like me; she's unapologetically adult, and that's what makes her music so groundbreaking."

The WAP hitmaker went on to praise Cardi B for breaking barriers in the typically male-dominated world of hip-hop. "It's incredible that two women can reach success in an industry where misogynistic lyrics are often glorified," Miley said, highlighting the significance of songs like WAP.

Cardi B's music video for WAP, which racked up a whopping 550 million views on YouTube, has been hailed as a masterpiece by critics and fans alike. The record-breaking visual, directed by Colin Tilley, features cameos from Kylie Jenner, Normani, Rosalía, Latto, Sukihana, and Rubi Rose – making it one of the most talked-about music videos in recent history.

The 51-year-old cyberbullying activist confessed: 'Wait I don't know what it is'

Miley Cyrus' own journey to stardom was paved with fame, fortune, and family. As the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and Dolly Parton's godchild, Miley had a built-in advantage in the industry. But despite her privileged upbringing, she faced criticism for being too provocative on stage – an issue that still affects her to this day.

"I was like America's babysitter," Miley explained, "people trusted me with their kids' entertainment. But when I started pushing boundaries, they felt betrayed." Cyrus went on to discuss how she feels she gets unfairly judged for being a sex symbol, while other female artists are given more leeway.

The conversation between Miley and Monica was an eye-opener for both women, but especially for the 51-year-old cyberbullying activist. Lewinsky has been a vocal advocate against bullying since her infamous scandalous affair with President Bill Clinton in the '90s. But it seems even she wasn't prepared for the shock of discussing WAP with Miley Cyrus.

Cyrus appeared shocked: 'Are we telling Monica Lewinsky what WAP is about? Do I tell her? Do I tell her?' At that point, Monica buried her head in her hands and said 'I'm a loser'

As the episode came to a close, both women left us wondering – what's next? Will Miley continue to push boundaries and challenge social norms? And will Monica Lewinsky be joining her on this journey? One thing's for sure: we can't wait to see what these two powerhouses have in store for us.
