Offset has confirmed an October 2023 release date for his next solo studio effort.
The rapper spoke to Apple Music 1’s Ebro Darden and revealed that “Jealousy,” his latest single with his wife Cardi B, is the beginning of the album rollout and that he has a new single dropping in about three weeks. “Yeah, we coming in October but right now we just applying pressure,” Offset shared. “Creatively, content-wise, I’m going to just keep my rollout going. The rollout started from ‘Jealousy,’ so I’m going to just keep the rollout starting from right then. So with this album I’m definitely going to be showing way more personality, way more who Offset is, creatively. Taking to the next level.”
He also revealed how he managed to get Jamie Lee Curtis to appear on the “Jealousy” visual, “I didn’t know her before we shot but I just simply DMed her about it.” Offset continued, “I had a great idea about the iconic interview I seen. I been had watched it five years ago. I just felt like it was related to the subject of jealousy. So I just DMed her, bro. And when I DMed her she DMed me right back. And then after that I got her number and she was like, ‘I got you, I’m going to pull up.’ And then she pulled up to the crib in LA. No security, just regular. Came in with her suit and just shot.”
“She the GOAT,” he said of Curtis, “so that was nothing for her to just do that. She got it shot in like 10 minutes and then we was done.”
