Jealousy: Offset and Cardi B unveil visual to new music (+Lyrics)

Offset teams up with his wife, Cardi B, on the new “Jealousy” track, accompanied by an official music video. The song is produced by OZ, Boi-1da & Jahaan Sweet. Get ready for a sizzling and dynamic musical collaboration!

Offset’s new album is officially on the way. The Migos member has been teasing his highly-anticipated follow-up to Father Of 4 in the last year. However, with the exception of singles like “54321” and “CODE” ft. Moneybagg Yo, he hasn’t necessarily shared any promising timeline of when we could expect the project. Fortunately, he seems to be revving up to unleash new music in the near future, kicking the campaign off with his newly released single, “Jealousy” featuring his wife, the one and only, Cardi B.

With production from Boi-1da, Oz, and Jahaan Sweet, Offset and Cardi B bring their natural chemistry to the fold in their latest collaboration. While the James Brown-referencing teaser that dropped earlier this week suggested that their relationship drama would spill out into the song, that’s not exactly the case. Instead, the two take aim at their haters, whether online or in real life, for an energetic banger that sets the tone for Offset’s forthcoming album.

The heavy Memphis influence seeps through the production while Offset slides through in the first verse, contrasting brooding threats and luxurious reflections of his status. But, in the context of the drama related to Quavo and Offset’s relationship with QC, his opening bars feel like a direct reference to the behind-the-scenes issues. “Hatin’ ass n***a ‘cause I got it out the mud/ Hatin’ in the family, be your own blood,” he raps.

In the midst of Cardi B’s frequent internet drama, her verse is evidently directed at every single one of her critics. Her charm and humor sprinkled across, Cardi not only flexes on her haters with material items but she takes aim at her detractors within the rap game, too, rapping, “Bitches don’t wanna go Birkin for Birkin/ Bitches don’t got enough hits for a Verzuz.” Overall, Cardi B and Offset continue their impeccable collaborative streak while the former adds another muscle emoji-worthy verse to her 2023 resume.

Offset and Cardi B certainly flexed their pull in the entertainment industry with the music video. The “Jealousy” video tapped Taraji P Henson to star in it, along with cameos from Offset’s children. Ahead of its release, Offset and Jamie Lee Curtis recreated the infamous James Brown CNN interview in 1988.

Lyrics

[Intro: Jamie Lee Curtis & Offset]
There’s a lot of drama between you and your beautiful wife, Cardi B
Let’s talk about some music
Mafia, mafia, mafia, mafia
Ealou—, jealous, jealou—
Jealous ass bitch
Jealous ass bitch
Mafia, mafia, mafia, mafia
Jealou—, jealous, jealou—
Jealous ass bitch
Jealous ass bitch

[Verse 1: Offset]
Hatin’ ass nigga ’cause I got it out the mud
Hatin’ in the family, nigga, be your own blood
Screamin’, “Fuck 12” to the D.A. and judge
Never been a dub, never been a scrub
.45 Glock, now, oh, you want the judge?
Better than who? Must be high on them drugs
Coolin’ in the mansion with the bubbles in the tub
Heard you undercover, you a bitch, you was a stud
‘Set, yes, nigga, don’t try me
In a Lamb’, I be damned if a nigga try me
Gettin’ ham with the fam, man, a nigga gotta eat
Shawty, nuttin’, I’ma bust, I’ma trick for a treat
‘Fore I bought the Lamb’, I was ridin’ in the Jeep
Five-hundred horses with a stick on a seat
Fuck that nigga, he’ll fold when there’s heat
Go against the code for the dough, boy, you weak
Go against the grain, man, you know a nigga lame
Cartier frames, I can see a nigga brain
Cartier bracelet, they matchin’ with the chain
Dirt up on my name, man, you nigga should be shamed
Knock off her boot when I’m throwin’ up gang
Diamond fruit loops in this watch, and it’s plain
My dawg got the juice and I’m smokin’ propane
I’m gunnin’, I run to the money, Usain
Who talkin’? Who tellin’? Who sang?
I’m sellin’ prescription cocaine
She fuck with my pimpin’, my cane
I’m Michael, I’m not no Jermaine
Jealousy, that shit gon’ eat your heart out
This a AR, sawed off, we’ll slay your squad out
This the beast you brought out, this a feast, we ball out
I’ll eat your heart out, I’ll pull your card out
It’s simple, put holes in his face like it’s dimples
New Kimber, new bop-bop, bop-bop, make it limp him
He play with me, blowin’ me, rise in my temper
I got millions of racks in my mansion, my temple
I’m gangsta but with your bitch, I get gentle
Wanksta, take out your teeth like it’s dentures
I’m blankin’, you eat this Glock, I’m Miss Winners

[Chorus: Cardi B]
Mafia, mafia, mafia, mafia
Jealou—, jealous, jealou—
Jealous ass bitch
What the fuck these bitches talking ’bout, man?
Mafia, mafia, mafia, mafia
I mean, who’s tellin’ us what?
Jealou—, jealous, jealou—
Jealous ass bitch
Bardi

[Verse 2: Cardi B]
Look, ain’t no bitch finna front on me (No)
Bad body bitch with the jumbo teeth
Yellow Lamborghini like a bumblebee
Girl, nobody listen to you ‘less you talking ’bout me (Woo)
It’s always a bird tryna tweet shit (Yeah)
You offended when I be on defense (Fuck you)
They’re too worried ’bout me and my nigga (Huh)
You should worry ’bout the nigga yours sleep with, hmm (Ah)
Face is given and never not gave
Been to Atlanta, but bitches ain’t brave
How bitches mad? I’m the number one pick
It’s funny, your nigga the one that’s a trade
Bitches is mad stupid (Stupid)
They get to the bag and lose it (Lose it)
I’m still in the bed, I live on her head
Water and gas included, brrt (Grrah)
Biches don’t wanna go Birkin for Birkin
Bitches ain’t got enough hits for a Verzuz
Bitches be actin’ so different in person
Cartier frames, I can see why she nervous (Woo)
This shit a circus, I’m dripped in detergent
I’m sick, get the nurses, my whip got the curtains
I’m dripped out in Hermes
A bitch say my name, then she number one trendin’
I did you a service, bitch

[Chorus: Cardi B]
Jealous ass bitch
Jealous ass bitch
Like, huh?
Jealous ass bitch
Jealous ass bitch
Man, what the fuck these hoes talking ’bout?
Hold on, hold on, hold on

[Outro: Cardi B]
Look, let’s keep it a bean, let’s keep it a buck
If I had a dick, it need to be sucked
All of my opps is runnin’ they jibs
Stomach too big, it need to be tucked (Ah-ah-ah)
All of that cryin’ be keepin’ me up
When Bardi’s around, they see me and duck
When I make a post, I’m leavin’ it up
They came from the hood but they leave in the trunk
Bitch
