Over the instrumental of "She's a Bitch", Cardi B targets her detractors and enemies[1][2][3][4][5] and reminds them of her status in the rap music industry.[1][2][3]
Zachary Horvath of HotNewHipHop wrote of the song, "Lyrically, Cardi is delivering some solid rhymes and lines".[6] Alex Gonzalez of Uproxx commented that Cardi B "arrives with the same eccentric and charismatic energy Missy did 25 years ago" and "She delivers some of the most scorching bars of her career, as she reminds us all how quickly she can switch it up."[7]
The official music video was directed by Offset. Set in a hillside, glass-covered mansion,[5][8][9] it begins with Cardi B strutting around the halls in an outfit that pays homage to Lil' Kim in her video for "Came Back for You": a black bikini under a floor-length fur coat,[2][10][11][12] in addition to a jeweled choker with matching earrings[12] and crystal-encrusted eyebrows (a tribute to Missy Elliott).[11][12] In one scene, she is shown with pink eyelashes[12] and in another she lounges on a red sofa by a pool as she eats sushi out of a Yves Saint Laurent bag.[4][7][9] Cardi B later wears a diamond-encrusted bikini[2][9] and chaps,[2] posing for a photo shoot.[9] The visual ends with a message reading, "This is just the beginning...stay tuned".[4][7]
