Mrs. Officer

Background

Rapper 2 Chainz, known then as Tity Boi, was originally featured on the song.

Music video

The music video was shot in Miami, Florida, with Lil Wayne and Gil Green directing it. It is a continuation of the "A Milli" and "Got Money" music 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 Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable". Cameos were made Birdman, and Young Money Entertainment artist Mack Maine, and Jae Millz.

Notable live performances

On September 9, 2023, Lil Wayne performed the song live at U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris's official residence for a concert celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop music. Lil Wayne also performed the song as part of a medley at the Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special on February 16, 2025.

Chart performance

"Mrs. Officer" debuted at No. 86 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the seventh song to chart on the Hot 100 from Tha Carter III. The song peaked at No. 16, making it Wayne's fourth top twenty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 from the album. It rapidly ascended the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, reaching No. 5, becoming his fourth top ten single on that chart from the album.
