Offset, a Grammy-nominated rapper and member of the popular hip-hop group Migos, recently shared a hilarious video on his social media accounts that left fans amused and intrigued. In the video, Offset parodied the iconic and infamous 1988 CNN interview of James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, with the help of actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who played the role of reporter Sonya Friedman.
In the 1988 interview, James Brown was featured on CNN’s show Sonya Live, just after getting out on bail for an arrest related to an alleged incident with his then-wife, Adrienne Lois Rodriguez. During the interview, Friedman attempted to ask Brown about the charges and the status of his relationship with his wife, but Brown skillfully evaded the questions by breaking into song and shifting the conversation towards his upcoming tour and music. The interview became famous for Brown’s charming yet evasive responses, and it has been remembered as one of the most unique and entertaining moments in television history.

In Offset’s parody video, he reenacted the interview, with Jamie Lee Curtis taking on the role of Sonya Friedman. The video starts with Curtis asking Offset about the rumored drama between him and his wife, Cardi B. Just like James Brown did in the original interview, Offset responds with laughter and avoids directly answering the question. Curtis playfully exclaims, “Ok, you’re not going to answer my f question, are you?” She then mentions that Cardi B seems upset, to which Offset smoothly transitions the conversation to music, saying, “Let’s talk about some music.” The video ends with the date “July 28th” displayed on the screen, hinting at a possible music release or event.

However, despite the rumors and drama, Offset and Cardi B have shown that they can put their differences aside professionally. During Offset’s Rolling Loud performance in Miami, he surprised the audience by bringing Cardi B on stage to perform their collaborative tracks “Motorsport” and “Clout.” The performance received a positive response from fans and further fueled speculation about the status of their relationship.
