This song is part of our “THE SUMMER 97 (1998 x 2023)” playlist. Check out the full list.

It’s often said that there’s “no such thing as bad publicity.”  In response to rumors about Offset being unfaithful, he teamed up with his  wife Cardi B to craft a response, the aptly-titled “JEALOUSY.” The spotlight-ready spouses split the shine to take swipes at the media, haters, and naysayers, dropping biting bars and, as per usual, not holding back. Forgoing the antiquated notion of “ladies first,” Offset instead saves the best for last, letting Cardi have the last verse and the last word. Eating up whoever said otherwise, Cardi spits fire in defense of their six-year-long relationship.

Watch the “JEALOUSY” video, stream it, or get some Cardi B vinyl.
