The rivalry between BIA and Cardi B is heating up, and this time it’s making its way into their music, with BIA’s debut album BIANCA set to drop on October 10. Instead of responding with hostility, she’s opting for promotion, even as Cardi B’s new album includes lyrics that seem to take direct shots at her.
Recently, Cardi B released her highly anticipated sophomore album, “Am I The Drama?”, and one of the tracks, “Pretty & Petty,” sparked a frenzy online. The standout lyric that got everyone talking was: “Name five BIA songs, gun pointin’ to your head.” This line reignited the tension between the two artists, reminding fans of their ongoing feud. Rather than retaliating with her own diss track, BIA cleverly turned the situation to her advantage. In a lighthearted Instagram post advertising her album, she quipped, “I got 16 more songs u can name.”
This isn’t simply a back-and-forth; their conflict stretches back to 2023 when BIA released “I’m That Bih,” which sampled Missy Elliott’s legendary song “She’s a B*.” Fans loved the reference, and it helped solidify BIA’s confidence in her artistry.
Moving to March 2024, Cardi B dropped her freestyle “Like What,” which also sampled the same Missy song. BIA felt that the similarities were a bit too close for comfort and accused Cardi of imitating her style. However, Cardi provided evidence that she had recorded her freestyle in 2022, well before BIA’s version was released. This clarification didn’t diminish the brewing tension.
BIA responded by releasing “B**h Duh,” featuring a clever line that seemed aimed at Cardi: “I hear btches poppin’ shit and that’s so funny to me. How you say you runnin’ down but you can’t walk on the beat?” The line resonated with fans. By the summer of 2024, their subtle jabs had quieted down, but Cardi wasn’t done yet.
Her recent track “Pretty & Petty” has reignited their feud, causing fans to debate whether Cardi’s comments were warranted or if the drama has lasted too long. Meanwhile, BIA is taking a more strategic approach by focusing on her album release instead of escalating the feud. With BIANCA now generating buzz, the situation has turned into excellent promotional material for her.
