In the video for the song, which parodies James Brown’s bizarre interview with CNN in 1988, Curtis stars as a reporter who questions Offset about claims that his wife Cardi B cheated on him in June. “Your fans say there’s a lot of drama between you and your beautiful wife Cardi B,” reports Jamie Lee Curtis, and the rapper responds with, “Haaaah.”

“Jealousy” is a collaboration between the rapper and his wife. The video was released after Offset accused Cardi B of cheating on him in an Instagram post posted on his official account.
