Beyoncé is the undisputed queen of reimagining and reconceptualizing her own smash hits.
Queen Bey had the hive humming and Twitter in a tizzy with a provocative and slower remix of the hit song “Cuff It (Wetter Remix).” The remixed version features the instrumental from Twista’s 2009 single “Wetter” and samples the beat from Janet Jackson’s 1986 almost erotic slow jam “Anytime, Anyplace”

Fresh off her $24 million, one-hour performance in Dubai, Beyoncé has made the remix only available on her website, beyonce.com. It had been played in clubs since October by DJ Esentrik that has taken off on TikTok.

DJ Esentrik and other notables had further superlatives for the pop goddess in her performance on the remix.
Do y’all understand how crazy this is? She went back in the studio and recut the vocals and then some 😭

this is a huge W for us DJs/producers. This is a celebration for all of us! Keep creating, you never know who’s listening

Beyoncé is a genius releasing Cuff It (Wetter Remix). We been listening to this version for months. I’ve been thinking, with mashups being such a thing. All artists should release their popular mashups, giving Tik Tok creators producers credit. And sampling paperwork in order.
