The visuals for this hyped track were directed by nonother than Offset.

Back on February 20, on-again, off-again partner of Cardi B, Offset, was encouraging his boo to drop her next LP. "Stop being scary and drop the album s**t goes crazy." While there was not any audio, he was giving his best stank-face for whatever he was teasing in the video. That anticipation deepened after her die-hard supporters were begging for her to return after a series of memes and a #WhereIsCardi poster.

Well, we can finally say that Cardi B is at least slowly rebuilding as she finally dropped "Like What (Freestyle)." This marks The Bronx rapper's first single since last September with the highly-maligned "Bongos" with Megan Thee Stallion." Additionally, an album rollout could be underway as well. If you watch to the end of the music video, directed by Offset, you will see a message that says, "Just beginning... stay tuned."
