Offset Channels Infamous James Brown Interview - Cardi B Drama and a Surprise Cameo
Offset, one-third of the hip-hop trio Migos, took his followers on a nostalgic journey this Monday. The rapper surprised fans with a spoof of the notorious James Brown interview from 1988, replete with infidelity rumors, a dramatic CNN host, and a surprising guest star.
Geo.tv reports that the Instagram video teases Offset's new single, "Jealousy," set to drop this Friday. "Y'all ready for some new music???….JEALOUSY!!" Offset enthusiastically captioned the clip.
A Comical Spin on a Historical Interview
Offset comically impersonates the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, while addressing rumors surrounding his recent cheating allegations against wife, Cardi B. This daring take not only leverages a historic moment but adds a new dimension to it.
Adding an unexpected twist to the narrative, Jamie Lee Curtis pops up as the interviewer, embodying CNN host Sonya Friedman. She grills Offset on the so-called drama between him and his "beautiful wife Cardi B." "Haaaaaaaa," responds Offset, skirting around the question in true Brown style.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Offset - An Unexpected Duo
The Halloween Kills actress doesn't let up. "OK, you're not going to answer my f---ing question are you?" she persists. After a curt denial of any "problems" from Offset, she insists, "She seems... upset, Offset."
"I'm out on love," the rapper retorts. Diverting the conversation, he then demands, "Let's talk about some music," a clear nod to Brown's infamous tactic during the original 1988 interview, following his release on bail for accusations of assaulting his then-wife, Adrienne Lois Rodriguez.
Drawing an uncanny parallel with the historic interview, Offset's spoof echoes Brown's evasive responses, and seamlessly intertwines it with the promotion of his upcoming single. Fans are now not only awaiting his music but also marveling at his satirical take on a piece of pop culture history.
