The "Jealousy" music video turns the tables, with Cardi B accusing her husband of wanting to "f— b— at my job." Blowing off steam by taking his bike for a cruise, Offset throws shade at his haters.
"Jealousy that s— gon' eat your heart out / It's a AR sawed-off we'll slow your squad out," the Migos rapper sings. "It's the beast you brought out / It's a feast we ball out / I'll eat your heart out / I'll pull ya card out."
