Critical reception
"Cut Her Off" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Complex named it the forty-first best song of the first half of 2014. In his review Justin Davis said, "K Camp has started the year with a number of hits, but "Cut Her Off" is undoubtedly his catchiest. The song's subject matter is simple enough—Camp is fed up with the stress from clingy women—but his melodies grab the listener to repeat his rebellious verses verbatim. It's literally the rap version of Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable." Add in a equally wacky 2 Chainz verse and "Cut Her Off" is easily the breakup anthem of the year."[1]

"Cut Her Off" debuted at number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of April 26, 2014. Ten weeks later, it peaked at number 49 on the week of July 5, 2014.

Music video
Directed by Alex Nazari, the song's music video features K Camp being harassed by various women, while he ignores them. In the middle part, K Camp answers a payphone call from 2 Chainz asking him to come to a restaurant. He enters through the back of the kitchen and meets with 2 Chainz who's eating with a bunch of women at the table. The video premiered on the artist's YouTube page on May 21, 2014.[4]
