Within the phrases of James Brown: Let’s speak about some music. Dressed because the late soul icon, Offset teased the upcoming arrival of a brand new music by recreating an outdated CNN interview wherein Brown dodged questions on his 1988 arrest, casting none apart from Jamie Lee Curtis to play the information anchor.
Within the Monday (July 24) spoof video, the Oscar winner asks the Migos rapper about “the drama” between him and his “lovely spouse” Cardi B, whom she notes “appears upset, Offset.” (She’s doubtless referencing the couple’s on-line spat earlier this summer time over his allegation that the “WAP” artist cheated on him). However as an alternative of answering, Offset — mimicking Brown — merely lets out a loud, disruptive, “HA!”
“You’re not going to reply my f–king query, are you?” Curtis says in character, after which Offset quotes Brown once more: “Let’s speak about some music.”
The teaser closes with a date: “July twenty eighth.” “Y’all prepared for some new music???….JEALOUSY!!” Offset captioned the video on Twitter, seemingly confirming that he’s dropping one thing new on Friday (July 28).
The unique interview Offset recreated came about after Brown was arrested for allegedly assaulting his spouse, Adrienne Rodriguez. The “I Obtained You (I Really feel Good)” singer denied the costs and was launched on bond sooner or later earlier than the interview, throughout which he loudly blurted out references to his personal music titles and interjected odd phrases unrelated to the questions being requested. It’s labeled “Is that this James Brown’s strangest interview ever?” on CNN’s official YouTube channel.
