[edit] Music video
The video was shot in Miami with Lil Wayne and Gil Green directing it. It is a continuation of the "A Milli" and "Got Money" videos.
The video was released on October 31, 2008. The last verse of Mrs. Officer, with Kidd Kidd and Bobby Valentino, is cut off and replaced with the first verse from "Comfortable", another track off Tha Carter III which features R&B artist Babyface. Lil Wayne plays the lucky victim, being searched by the female cop (Tammy Torres) an hour after leaving the "A Milli" video shoot. In contrast, Bobby Valentino plays an officer, detaining several women. The "Comfortable" segment of the video is the continuation of "Mrs. Officer" where Lil Wayne and the female officer are living together and for most of the segment argue late in the night on an open street. This segment of the song also contains lines referencing Beyonce's "Irreplaceable". Cameos were made Birdman, and Young Money Entertainment artist Mack Maine, & Jae Millz.
