“No Sweat” is perhaps the most confrontational and emotionally raw track on the Haunted by Fame EP, serving as a visceral public airing of grievances. The title suggests an easy confidence, but the lyrics betray a deep-seated frustration and pain regarding his highly publicized separation.
The song is built on a dark, assertive trap beat that creates a mood of aggression and defiance. The instrumental pulse drives the track forward with an almost menacing intensity, providing the perfect backdrop for Offset’s pointed verses.
Lyrically, the track is a direct departure from the usual luxurious flexes. While he begins with typical braggadocio, the focus quickly narrows to the breakdown of a major personal relationship. The most controversial and widely discussed lines involve a pointed sports metaphor where Offset seemingly compares himself to Michael Jordan and another figure to Dennis Rodman, a clear dig aimed at his estranged wife’s new partner. This track uses his personal life as highly charged lyrical material, framing the end of his marriage not just as a loss, but as a foolish mistake made by the other party. Ultimately, “No Sweat” feels less like a boast and more like an emotional defense mechanism, turning profound personal turmoil into public-facing art.
