The song is getting tons of praise already so is Offset back in good graces with the Bardigang?

After months upon months of waiting for Cardi B to put out something, she delivered in a big way. Her loyal Bardigang were constantly flooding social media timelines with #WhereIsCardi and elaborate memes o'plenty. All of that begging and pleading worked as the gritty femcee from New York has just released her first single in about six months with "Like What (Freestyle)." The other interesting angle in all of this is her hubby. Offset directed the music video for "Like What," and it is pulling in a lot of different reactions. The couple has dealt with a lot of internal struggles, but they appear to be on good standing.

They set the internet in a blaze a couple of months ago when they unfollowed each other on Instagram. However, since that breakup, they have slowly put the pieces back together. Clearly they are doing well considering how heavily involved the Georgia rapper has been with this single and convincing Cardi to drop her sophomore record. However, while they may be happy, fans have some mixed reactions to Offset directing the visuals for "Like What."

Cardi B & Offset Are Back

There is an extensive thread of the Bardigang giving their opinions on the situation and some of them are downright hilarious. For example, one of the two above has one person "so excited" to have him back in the femcee's life. Conversely, the other fan is jiving with their team effort. Even with the lukewarm feelings towards all of this, the music video is doing numbers on YouTube already. Since its premiere about 10 hours ago, it has racked up over 750,000 views. That is good enough for number two on trending for music.

What are your thoughts on Offset's directing job for Cardi B's "Like What (Freestyle)?" Is she making a mistake by bringing him back into her life?
