"'Mrs. Officer'" is the fourth single from Lil Wayne's album 'Tha Carter III'. Its lyrics explore the tension between criminal suspects and police officers by portraying a relationship between Lil Wayne and a female police officer; it goes so far as to reference the famous N.W.A rap song "Fuck tha Police" (though in a literal sense). The song features Bobby Valentino and Kidd Kidd, and is produced by Deezle. The Music video officially debuted on September 9, 2008[http://www.itsanotherone.com/2008/07/news-lil-waynes-next-single-to-be-mrs.html] It was ranked the No. 25 Hip-Hop song of 2008 by MTV.

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

Music video



concert in Vancouver in January 2009.

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 and Beyonc's "Irreplaceable". Cameos were made Birdman, and Young Money Entertainment artist Mack Maine, and Jae Millz.
