Only three weeks later, he was spotted in a recording studio with rapper Travis Scott. The footage of the artists in the studio listening to the instrumental of "Zeze" became a viral meme prior to the song's release.

On October 24, 2018, American rappers Tyga and Swae Lee released an unofficial remix called "Shine". On November 5, 2018, South Korean rappers Xbf, Freaky, and Woozieboo released a remix track.
American rapper Joyner Lucas also remixed the song and it was released on November 22, 2018, as a diss track aimed at Tory Lanez.

## Music video

An official music video of the song was released on November 23, 2018. It showed the cameraman messing up and Travis Scott, the video director fixing the mistakes. Offset could not make the set but got on the stage for his verse.
