Cardi B and husband, Offset, are addressing relationship rumors head-on with a new music video for “Jealousy.” Dropped on social media on July 26, the video snippet has everyone talking.
The video opens with Cardi dialing a friend, played by “Empire” star Taraji P. Henson. Cardi tells Taraji that a woman contacted her, claiming Offset was cheating. Taraji responds, calling the woman “thirsty.”
Cardi follows up, saying, “Since he [cheated] before, whether he did it or not, people are going to believe it. That’s why I want to bag this n—-. Even though it’s in the past, you should have never done it in the first place. That’s why we’re always in this motherf—ing predicament.” The Grammy-winner ends the statement by saying she loves Offset.

Husband Offset similarly dropped a nostalgic promo. On July 24, he posted a spoof clip in which he impersonated James Brown with Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis. The video was a fresh take on an infamous media interview where singer James Brown appeared to ignore questions with quirky mannerisms and verbal sounds.
Offset wore a wig, neck scarf, and oversized yellow lenses in the spoof. Instead of answering questions about his marriage, Offset said he wanted to “talk about some music.”
Outside of Cardi’s songs with the Migos, “Jealousy” is the sixth collaboration between the hip-hop duo. Cardi B and Offset also collaborated on “Lick,” “Who Want the Smoke?” “Um Yea,” and “Clout.” They’ve promoted McDonald’s meal options together and continue to make waves with individual projects.
As we await the drop of “Jealousy,” let’s look at some of the cutest pictures of Cardi B and Offset. The recent video teaser proves that the two remain a force when they’re together.
