Cardi B Serves Looks (And Choreography) In Steamy Video For New Single 'UP'

Cardi B upped her music video game on Friday (February 5) when the rapper dropped the steamy video for her brand-new single "UP" and it features costume change after costume change.

The just-released Tani Muino-directed clip sees the Bronx native offering fans a number of ensembles, some girl-on-girl action and even choreography. It kicks off with Bardi bidding farewell to 2020 in a graveyard, before quickly transitioning from scene to scene. In one set-up, she's surrounded by animated doll heads in her hair. In a separate scene, she's locking lips (and sharing tongue) with some female eye candy. It's all very buzzworthy from beginning to end. Most notably, though, Bardi serves up some serious choreography in the almost-three-minute video.

"UP" follows her Megan Thee Stallion-featured "WAP," which dropped last year. Both are expected to appear on the follow-up to her debut album, Invasion of Privacy.

Cardi celebrated the song and video's release by talking to fans on YouTube for its premiere. "I wanted to do something really different," she said of the joint releases, adding that she flew Muino out from Ukraine for the video. "It took me more than a month…we started rehearsing in December for this moment…The grind don't stop."

She also shared her vision of doing something that wasn't so explicit in comparison to "WAP." "I thought that my last song was more sexy…I wanted to do something more gangster, more cocky," she explained.
