It’s play(erz) time for Cardi B.
The 32-year-old half-Dominican American Grammy-winning rap superstar delivered a second serving of her Am I the Drama? album with the Jay-Z-sampling “Imaginary Playerz” on Friday, August 15.
Accompanying the single, Cardi B directed a luxurious visual alongside Patientce Foster.
Cardi B shows off her opulent taste and fashion sense, while letting the other women out there know they’re not messing with her when it comes to being a fashion icon.
Cardi turns the private airport’s tarmac into a fashion show runway. She cycles through a red ballroom gown before taking the private jet to Paris, where she enjoys a day on the yacht.
A seafood lover, Cardi enjoys a lobster dinner on the beach and then heads back to her five-star resort for a foot bath with a side of champagne. For the final scene, she models various couture looks before heading out for a Parisian night under the stars.
“Imaginary Playerz” heavily samples Jay-Z’s 1997 “Imaginary Players,” which landed on Hov’s In My Lifetime, Vol. 1.
Cardi B revealed in an X Spaces that she got the Brooklyn rap deity’s stamp of approval for her version.
“If he didn’t approve it, I probably wouldn’t even feel a certain type of way neither, because it’s like, ‘OK, maybe I just had to come a little bit harder,’” she said. “But I’m glad that I came hard and he loved it.”
“Imaginary Playerz” follows “Outside” as the first two singles, setting the table for
Cardi B’s anticipated sophomore album. Am I the Drama?, which is slated to be released on September 19.
