Cover version

Another Bad Creation covered "Popcorn Love"'s flip side, "Jealous Girl"[5] (in a slightly extended version)[6] on July 23, 1991, which also reached #25 on the R&B chart.[7]

Mase recorded a parody of "Jealous Girl" for his Harlem World album, called "Jealous Guy", with him, 112 and Puff Daddy singing like New Edition but with altered lyrics.[8]
