Skillet frontman John Cooper explained in a video this week that the explicit Grammy performance last Sunday by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion reveals how our culture has begun to redefine “good” and “evil.”
The two scantily clad female artists simulated sex during their choreography for the obscene song “WAP.” Officials with the Federal Communications Commission revealed Wednesday they have received “dozens” of complaints in the wake of the graphic performance.

Cooper said the display is a symptom of our “woke” culture, which, he argued, is rebranding “good” and “evil.” The rocker called it a “perfect example” of what is described in Isaiah 5:20, which reads, “What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.”
“We’re living in a world right now where there are certain Dr. Seuss books that you cannot sell on eBay,” Cooper said. “They’re just too much for anybody to even be allowed to buy. They’re being yanked down from all the bookstores and stuff like that. It’s just too much. It’s too evil, so you can’t go on eBay and buy it. But you can — and must — applaud the sexual degradation of Cardi B and Meghan Thee Stallion simulating sex together on the Grammys.”
“This is the perfect example,” he continued. “You must celebrate it. In fact, if you don’t celebrate it, then you’re actually a bad person and you kind of, like, don’t love people, right? You’re actually not nice. This is the perfect example, you guys.”
Cooper went on to note that secular society and Christian culture are becoming increasingly divided as the former continues to “redefine” right from wrong.

The Christian recording artist used Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler to show just how effective it can be to redefine “good” and “evil.”
“The question is, who is going to define what is good, and who is gonna define what is evil?” Cooper asked. “Every dictator in history says that what they were doing was good. That’s what they believe. If you go back and you read some of Hitler’s speeches, he’s, like, ‘I’m gonna set people free — free from the bondage of the Ten Commandments.’ In his mind, he’s a liberator. It’s always like that, you guys.”
Cardi B and Meghan Thee Stallion’s performance last weekend is what happens when you “redefine evil and you redefine good,” he added.
