Atlantic RecordsEd Sheeran must really want to do that James Bond theme song. Why else would he create a whole mini James Bond movie for his “South of the Border” video, featuring Cardi B and Camila Cabello?
In the clip, spy Scarlet Jones, played by Alexis Ren, sneaks into a fancy party in a huge mansion where Teddy Fingers, played by Ed, is singing. She slips him a mickey, steals a key from around his neck, opens a secret box, retrieves a necklace and makes her getaway.
Agent X, played by Paul Karmiryan, watches the whole thing and takes off after Scarlet and the necklace. She leave him a message to meet her “South of the Border.”
We cut to Mexico, where Camila as The Mariposa — Spanish for butterfly — is tending bar. She seduces Agent X, but it’s all part of a revenge plot: She’s working with Teddy Fingers. Eventually, The Mariposa knocks out Agent X and Scarlet, kidnaps them and tie them to chairs in a dark room, where, for some reason, Cardi B is also tied up.
Long story short, as Teddy Fingers and The Mariposa watch via video, Cardi gets loose and unties Scarlet, who beats up the guards, kisses Agent X and runs away, leaving the necklace behind. Cardi scoops it up, calls Ed on a walkie-talkie and starts yelling.
“Is this Edward? When I find out where you are, I’m gonna kick your a**! You know I’m crazy!” she yells. “I dunno why you thought it was a good idea to kidnap me! Ugly-a** necklace…you think you’re Charlie’s Angels?”
“You thought you was gonna get rid of me, now I got your necklace!” she taunts. “Now you gotta come get it…mother f*****!”
And…scene.
