Cardi B is letting it all hang out in the video for her new single “Like What (Freestyle),” which was directed by her previously estranged husband Offset.
In the sleek and sexy clip, the Bronx rap star strolls around a futuristic mansion while wearing revealing lingerie and a fur coat.

She also pays homage to Missy Elliott, whose 1999 hit “She’s a Bitch” is sampled on the song, by rocking diamond studs over her eyebrows.
This didn’t go unnoticed by the Virginia rap legend, who appeared to co-sign the tribute by posting a side-by-side image on social media.

The track itself finds Cardi B taking numerous shots at perceived enemies.
She appears to jab long-running rival Nicki Minaj with the line: “Everything you got, I had five years before,” which seems to be a reference to “Bodak Yellow” topping the Billboard Hot 100 half a decade before Nicki’s “Super Freaky Girl.”
Another line goes: “First, that bitch hate me, then this bitch hate me/ And somehow, they link up and they become friends, like, how?/ Bitch, pipe down.”
Cardi also raps: “Her life so trash, think I put a hex on it/ Bitches be laughin’, like, ho, what’s funny?/ You braggin’ on a n-gga that be dyin’ to fuck me.”

In addition to directing the video, Offset showed love to his wife’s new release by writing on his Instagram Stories: “You the fucking baddest. Stop playin wit them.”
The former Migos rapper’s involvement marks another interesting development in his and Cardi B’s rollercoaster relationship.
Late last year, the married couple went through a messy and public breakup, with the Invasion of Privacy star cursing out her husband on Instagram Live.
“I’ve really been sparing you,” she said during her angry rant. “You’ve really been doing me dirty after so many fucking years that I helped your ass, not even a fucking thank you that I got.”

However, since the new year, they appear to be back on good terms having spent Valentine’s Day together in Miami.
Cardi also admitted she and Offset had sex on New Year’s Eve, saying: “Was I clubbing with my baby father yesterday? Yes. Did I get dicked down yesterday? Absolutely baby. I need some dick on New Year’s Eve.

“We was Henny’d down. We was both in the same club and it was just really awkward. Like, I’m in my section, he’s in his section. It’s like, ‘Man, just come over here, let’s just chill, we having a good time.’”
The couple wed in 2017 and share two children: a five-year-old old daughter named Kulture and a two-year-old son called Wave.
