BIA and Lil Yachty have very different vibes. Very different. BIA is all about cool, sharp deliveries and stylish flexing. She sounds great over minimal beats, coming off commanding without being over the top. Lil Yachty is the complete opposite. He has a goofy, instantly recognizable voice that is charismatic, if not really cool at any point. Putting these two together on a song could have gone very wrong. Fortunately, it worked out. “Pissed Off” is BIA’s latest offering, and it proves that she can have sonic chemistry with just about anybody.
The beat is extremely skeletal. It’s heavy on the bass, and doesn’t offer much in the way of musical variety. It provides a perfect soundscape, however, for BIA to wax poetic on the things that annoy her. She’s got plenty of them. “Who playin’ down on their goals?,” she raps. “Who really touchin’ their goals. New b*tches f**kin’ your bros (Who?). Who really fake as they chain?.” The rapper’s delivery gets a bit more agitated as the song progresses, but she never looses her cool veneer. Lil Yachty hops on for the second verse, and does a surprisingly good job keeping pace. His voice is nasally as ever, but he busts out some clever bars to help make his appearance an overall W.

BIA And Boat Sound Slick Over A Minimal Instrumental
Quotable Lyrics:
Every one of my n**gas is rich, not one of them rolling your blunt Head cutout, still on a hunt, I like all of my b**ches be c*nts I f**k her and turn up the TV, you can see this b**ch back from the front
Chart-topping global artist BIA releases her new single, “PISSED OFF,” featuring Lil Yachty. The multi-platinum rapper unleashes her new track and music video amid her supporting role on the second leg of Nicki Minaj’s historic Pink Friday 2 World Tour, which is currently underway.
BIA’s career is driven by her versatility, and coming off the aspirational highs of her contributions to the Bad Boys: Ride Or Die soundtrack, BIA is crisp and sharp-witted over the droning 808s of “PISSED OFF,” matching Lil Yachty’s shrill delivery with compelling inflection trickery of her own. In the music video, a fur-laden BIA, accompanied by a few friends—Lil Yachty included—take to the streets to deliver their disgust in resplendent style.
In the days leading up to the single release, BIA announced “PISSED OFF” with a TikTok preview that quickly amassed over 100,000 views in two days. The “London” rapper has spent much of 2024 working on new music, and her audience is excited for new material.
Her latest single also follows her hugely successful 2023 album, Really Her and Really Her (Int’l Deluxe), which produced two Billboard Rhythmic Top 40 placements, “London” featuring J. Cole and “I’m That Bitch” featuring Timbaland.
BIA’s heightened success and popularity has fueled her ventures into the entertainment and business world. She has become a mainstay at major live sporting events, performing at 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend and helping to soundtrack the NHL Playoffs and Women’s World Cup. Her recently-launched cosmetic brand, Beauty For Certain, makes a cameo in BIA’s video for “Lights Out,” which features GRAMMY nominee J.I.D. and makes a home on the Bad Boys: Ride Or Die soundtrack.
BIA and Lil Yachty vow dire consequences for anyone who irks them in the video for their new collaboration, “Pissed Off.” “Somebody just pissed me off, where’s the switch?” she intones on the chorus, making it sound very much like hot lead will be flying at any moment. And just in case there was any doubt of her intentions, this is how she opens her verse: “Somebody gon’ die today / This sound like Jeff in the ride today / I make it slip if she slide today / It’s on the seat of my right-side / Kissing you bitches goodbye today.”
The tag-team is BIA’s third high-profile collab with an Atlanta rapper in 2024; in June, she teamed up with JID for “Lights Off,” while in July, she and Flau’jae appeared on Culture Jam’s latest compilation with Lakeyah on “Can’t Get Enough.” Like plenty of her rapper peers, the Beantown native has plenty to be pissed off about this year, too.
In March, BIA got into it with Cardi B over the shared Missy Elliott sample that appeared in both rappers’ new singles. Supposedly, Cardi took shots at BIA on her “Wanna Be Remix” verse, while BIA clapped back with “Sue Meee.” In June, Cardi made mentions of “opps,” and fans were sure it was a reference to BIA, so her latest will almost certainly be interpreted as a Cardi diss, as well. 2025 can’t get here soon enough.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana has become one of the hotbeds for the explosion of popularity in women’s basketball, as the LSU Tigers became a national powerhouse, led by stars Angel Reese and Flau’jae Johnson. Part of what made that LSU squad stand out wasn’t just their dominance on the floor, but the larger than life personalities of their top stars, who have ascended to superstardom on and off the court.
Flau’jae, meanwhile, will be returning to LSU this fall but has also seen her star continue to grow this summer, as she dropped her debut rap album, Best of Both Worlds, in late June — with some features from star artists like Lil Wayne. She performed at the ESPYs and was all over WNBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix, which included dropping a new track “Can’t Get Enough” with Culture Jam alongside BIA and Lakeyah. The music video for the song released on Wednesday, showing the artists making a road trip from L.A. to Phoenix for WNBA All-Star, and the song will be the official track for the WNBA on ESPN.
“Being part of ‘Can’t Get Enough’ with BIA and Lakeyah has been amazing,” Johnson said in a release. “This track is all about celebrating the strength and power of women in sports and music. It’s an honor to work with Culture Jam, the WNBA, and ESPN to bring this anthem to life. We’re bringing the energy, the passion, and the love for the game.”
Cardi B’s long-awaited sophomore album isn’t slated to be released until 2025. However, that hasn’t stopped the “WAP” rapper from dusting off the microphone for several notable collaborations. But just as she dropped off guest verses, Cardi has picked up a few rap beefs along the way.
Yesterday (June 21), during the 2024 Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards, Cardi addressed those dust ups and more as she accepted the night’s Inspiration Award.
“I just want to say thank Jason [Lee] so much for this award,” she said. “I’m really my biggest critic and I always say this, ‘Nobody has it harder than in the industry and in every genre than a female rapper, and I’m going to tell you why. You have to have the best verse. Not only that, you have to kill the charts. On top of that, your personal life has to be perfect, or then the opp b*tches are going to use that against you.”
Although Cardi didn’t outright name any of those foes, users online quickly took it as a jab at either BIA or Nicki Minaj (maybe even both).
“‘Your husband. Your husband.’ Shut up,” she said. “I make more money than all the n****s you’re f*cking. So you know sometimes it is hard to be yourself. It is hard to want to push yourself into the music because sometimes I don’t like showing weakness in my music because, ‘You can’t see the p*ssy in me b*tch.’”

BIA is keeping her foot on people’s necks this year, something she showed with a great Summer Smash set on Saturday (June 15). Moreover, HNHH‘s Tallie Spencer spoke to her after her performance for an exclusive interview, and asked her about how she deals with the haters and with overall critical reception. Of course, this takes on a different meaning nowadays compared to if one had asked the Massachusetts MC the same question before her beef with Cardi B exploded. But her answer is one that doesn’t harp on this specifically, and speaks to the general need to eschew giving this negativity too much mental energy.
“Well, you see when I came out, I said ‘F**k that b***h,’” BIA responded. “That’s my message to my haters: F**k that b***h. Like, I really don’t dwell on my haters ’cause I feel like I’m really so positive that I’m having such a great time with my life. So I really try not to let, like, outer interferences mess up my mood because I’m so grateful to be here. We’re having fun, like, who gets to do this for fun? We just do this every day. We’re blessed, so I don’t let stuff like that bother my frequency.”
Furthermore, BIA’s list of reasons to be grateful for her position and her success continue to mount. She recently released a new collaboration with JID titled “LIGHTS OUT” for the Bad Boys: Ride Or Die soundtrack, one of her biggest but also most skillful releases yet. The 32-year-old’s been impressing with projects and creative genre fusions for a while now, and with a hot 2023 behind her, it looks like this year will be even better. Hopefully she’s able to keep this balance and have a great time while doing so.
Also, thanks to some teases back in August of last year, some fans think that BIA and Nicki Minaj could have another banger on the way. This was from a while ago, but who are we to assume anything about rollouts and release schedules? Regardless, we look forward to seeing what she does next in any capacity, and know that it’ll be the fruit of some hard work. After all, the “Whole Lotta Money” star is too grateful for her position to offer anything less.
BIA has been in the headlines over the last few days due to her reignited beef with Cardi B. They have been at each other’s necks for a little bit now, but things have really escalated. The Bronx rapper instigated things with her fiery verse on the “Wanna Be (Remix)” last week and when you read into the bars, it almost seems like all of them were directed at her. That prompted the Massachusetts MC to clap back with “SUE MEEE?”, which was mocked by a few music insiders. Today, though, BIA is taking a break from the feud to collaborate with JID on “LIGHTS OUT”.
This is the first song her and the Atlanta native have worked on, and it lands on the Bad Boys: Ride Or Die Soundtrack. Even though songs made for films tend to get a bad rap for several reasons, this one goes over well. BIA hits you with lowkey flows and singing on the chorus, and JID delivers some clever bars, one of which makes a fun nod to his mega hit “Surround Sound”. This song is all about perseverance and working for your dreams, something that both artists are familiar with.
Got a foot inside the game, so now, we kicking down the door N****s be clowns, you can’t come around no more On this railroad smoking, but we ain’t underground no more Been tryna push the sound, you know, surround the whole globe The dough was lost and found, you know, I figured out a way to dig it out I seen the hate and I should slap the taste from out you n****s mouth
BIA clearly has a pretty good rapport with the Dreamville Records team. Back in 2022, she and J. Cole teamed up on her song “London,” with both rappers coming out of the collab with complimentary comments about each other. Now, she’s linked up with Atlanta-bred Dreamville standout JID fo the pulsating, inspirational track “Lights Out.”
The overall vibe of the track is very 2007, with an anthemic beat/chorus structure that finds BIA extolling her perseverance. “When the light’s out / Still can see me shining, I’m a lighthouse,” she croons. Meanwhile, in her verse, she cites her prior collab with Jermaine, boasting, “First rap bitch you know that went back and forth with Cole.” On the second verse, JID comes in hot — as usual — opening with a callback to an ATL classic from T.I. and quickly launches into his signature tongue-twister flow.
The song appears on the Bad Boys: Ride Or Die soundtrack (one of two from BIA) alongside tracks from 21 Lil Harold, Becky G, Black Eyed Peas, Flo Milli, ScarLip, Sean Paul, and of course, Will Smith. The soundtrack is out now via Epic Records, and Bad Boys: Ride Or Die is out now in theaters.
The rap feud season keeps on giving, and it looks like it’s the ladies’ turn now. After Drake and Kendrick Lamar charged the hip-hop scene with their heated diss war, female MCs Cardi B and BIA seem to have taken the baton from their male colleagues. The duo has been going at each other via social media and diss tracks, and it looks like they are ready to go all the way. Cardi B’s relationship with BIA hasn’t always been frosty. In 2021, BIA lauded Cardi B via several posts on X, formerly known as Twitter. However, that is now in the past, as the rappers seem to have lost any love they had for each other.
Cardi B and BIA’s beef got out of hand in March after suggestions that Cardi B was imitating BIA’s style. Since then, the women have not held back in their war of words. Their beef got so heated that Cardi B threatened to sue Bia. Fans wonder how far the women are willing to go in their beef, which is quickly gaining much attention. Here’s all to know about the feuding women’s animosity.
Cardi B and BIA previously had a cordial relationship. In 2021, Cardi B became the first female rapper to have a solo single certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America after “Bodak Yellow” sold over 10 million units. She received multiple compliments from fans and industry bigwigs after achieving the feat. BIA was one of those who commended Cardi B on her achievement. BIA made several posts on X congratulating Cardi B. One of the posts read, “Congrats to @iamcardib. Breaking barriers for the gorls.” In another post, BIA responded to a fan who said she was the new girl inspired by Cardi B. She wrote, “If you’re not inspired you’re not paying attention. You can at least be a fan of someone’s work ethic, growth, and contributions. & I’ve been writing for 10years, what she’s accomplished is NOT EASY.”
BIA Says She Doesn’t Know Cardi B In Real Life
The first sign of a brewing feud between Cardi B and BIA came in March 2023. Then, there were rumors that the two rappers were beefing. BIA addressed the rumors via an Instagram live video. Per Forbes, she said, “I didn’t switch up on anybody because I don’t know Cardi in real life. I’ve never met Cardi, we’ve never had a conversation. I don’t have no issues with her. It’s all love, but I don’t know her.”
The Beef Begins
In March 2024, Cardi B released her “Like What” freestyle. She sampled Missy Elliot’s “She’s A B**ch” on the song. However, some fans on X felt the beat and ad-libs Cardi used on “Like What” were similar to those used on BIA’s “Fallback,” which the latter released in December 2023. A fan went ahead to share a post suggesting Cardi was imitating BIA. The fan wrote, “But Bia is definitely on Cardi’s mood board alot.” BIA caught wind of the fan’s tweet and responded with three woozy face emojis. In another X post, BIA wrote, “Yall are sick.” Another fan encouraged BIA not to fall for the stan wars, adding that she was on the rise. BIA acknowledged the fan and thanked them for their words.
However, Cardi B seemingly didn’t like the online chatter going on. She responded by posting, “Bitches make a fool of themselves every single time.. ima show ya something when I release this song tho.” Afterward, some Cardi fans rubbished the suggestion that she was imitating BIA’s style. They shared videos of Cardi previewing the “Like What” track at a club in January, proving that the song had been in the making for a long time.
Nothing much was heard about Cardi B and BIA’s feud until May 31, 2024, when GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion released the remix of their hit tune, “Wanna Be,” featuring Cardi B. Cardi seemingly fired shots at BIA with her hard-hitting bars in the song. She rapped, “Guess I’m a teacher since you wanna sub me/She did what? Had no idea/Thought she was on the shelf, Ikea/Hope she talk like that when I see her/B**ch Please, don’t nobody wanna be ya/Cheap lookin’ a*s h*e, weak lookin’ a*s h*e/Great Value me lookin’ a*s h*e/Girl, these b**ches be p***y/Delete every tweet looking a*s h*e.” Fans speculated about who Cardi referred to with her lines. However, many of them were convinced the “nobody wanna be ya” reference was enough evidence they were aimed at BIA.
Not long after the track’s release, BIA seemed to reply to Cardi B’s apparent diss via a post on X. She wrote, “B**CHS IS WACK. B**CHS IS TRASH. I SHOULD HANG B**CHS RIGHT OVER MY KNEE, THE WAY I BE PUTTIN MY BELT TO THEY ASSSSSSSS,” a play from Cardi’s lyric from the song “Clout” with Offset. Shortly after, BIA shared another post on X. She posted a video of a rap battle between two female rappers superimposed with the “Wanna Be” instrumental playing in the background. One of the battling women delivered some lines aimed at knocking her opponent out. However, her bars fell flat and were met with disappointment by the onlookers and her unimpressed opponent, who said, “What?” The video post appeared to be BIA’s way of saying she wasn’t impressed with Cardi’s shots on “Wanna Be.”
Cardi B Addresses BIA Beef on Instagram Live
With Cardi B and BIA’s feud attracting attention, the former went on Instagram Live to address the situation. She revealed that she attempted to resolve the conflict via a phone call to BIA. Cardi B shared that their conversation began aggressively with both of them coming at each other. She further revealed, “But then I called her back because…I’m so appalled at the fact that she thinks I’m copying her, or stealing from her, ‘cus there’s nothing that she do that I like. I don’t like her music, I don’t like her style…I don’t even see the b**ch…”
The “Up” rapper jokingly urged her fans to stream BIA’s songs as the latter needed to recoup her publishing. Cardi B then threatened to release her conversation with BIA. She claimed that their conversation ended positively but then BIA went ahead to diss her online. Cardi added, “After the conversation, you went and you started saying I copied your music video…Then you going around lying about my pussy to my man’s boys and shit. What?… When I called her on the phone I wanted clarity, and that’s exactly what we got…”
Cardi B shared that she initially thought BIA was clout-chasing when she kept dissing her. She added, “But when she started doing that rumor shit, it’s like ‘damn, it’s more than clout. It’s jealousy.’” Cardi stated that she didn’t like anything about BIA. She ranted, “I don’t wanna dress like you, I don’t wanna look like you, I don’t wanna rap like you, I don’t listen to your music, I don’t know what the fuck you be doing, bitch…You not interesting to me.” The enraged rapper concluded by threatening to sue BIA if she continued spreading false allegations that she cheated on Offset. She said, “B**tch, you lyin’ on my f***ing p***y? When you lie about my p****y, I’mma sue you and you got to come with receipts. And not social media receipts, you gotta come with court receipts.”
BIA didn’t waste much time to respond to Cardi B. She did so via an Instagram Live video. During the IG live session, BIA played a diss track targeted at Cardi in which she made allegations about her cheating on Offset. The song’s intro goes, “Got a dark soul, got a bright future/Imma let her know I’m a sharp shooter/You ain’t nothing but a f**k girl, I see right through ya.” Rapping about Cardi’s alleged infidelity, BIA spits, “Put it on your gang that they ain’t f**k you in/Put in on your name since you so gangsta like yo f***ing friends/Put it on your hubby since you lying on your vows/I write all my verses, I can do this s**t for hours.“
BIA also took a dig at Cardi, accusing her of using a ghostwriter. She rapped, “Do I beef with you or do I beef with Pardi?” The line is a reference to rapper and songwriter Pardison Fontaine, who has writing credits on several Cardi B songs including her breakout hit “Bodak Yellow,” and “Be Careful.” The writing credits are under Pardison’s real name Jordan Kyle Lanier Thorpe.
Elsewhere in the diss track, BIA dissed Cardi’s physical appearance and mentioned her kids, Wave and Culture. She rapped, “Say you love yourself but you won’t put that on your kids/All that surgery and how your body is so mid.” She also spits, “I thought your a*s was for the culture/You just tryna ride the wave/You should be home with your kids ’cause b**ch you speak like you in second grade.” BIA captioned her Instagram Live post, “SUE ME” ??? That’s not hip hop.”
BIA Releases Official Audio for Her Diss Song
After the Instagram post, BIA went ahead to release the official audio for her Cardi B diss song, “SUE MEEE?” The track’s cover art featured a screenshot of an Instagram Story that Offset made in 2023 in which he seemed to suggest Cardi B cheated on him. The former Migos rapper deleted the post immediately and later explained that Cardi didn’t cheat on him. He said he made the post because he “was really lit that night,” and “she get crazy at the mouth a little bit.”
Cardi has yet to respond to BIA’s diss track. However, given that she threatened to sue the “WHOLE LOTTA MONEY” crooner if she made more allegations of her cheating on Offset, one can only wonder if she will keep to her words. After already witnessing a volatile rap scene this year thanks to Drake and Kendrick’s beef, hip-hop lovers wonder what to expect from the feuding women. Only time will tell!
Over the weekend, BIA and Cardi B joined the already busy list of rappers who have started major beef in 2024. Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, J. Cole, Metro Boomin, Quavo, and Chris Brown have already had viral moments in the first half of the year alone. Though the pair have allegedly taken subtle shots at each other before, it really kicked off over the weekend when Cardi joined Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla on the “Wanna Be” remix. During her verse, she took a shot that couldn’t be mis-interpreted. Since then personalities in the rap media landscape like Charlamagne Tha God have been breaking down every development.
The next domino to fall came from BIA, who responded on Twitter. She shared a series of lyrics from Cardi’s husband Offset repurposed to comment on the situation. Cardi and Offset have had a turbulent few months together dating back to last December. That was shortly followed by the full on diss track “SUE MEEE?” The song accused Cardi of cheating on Offset, which was the opposite of what many suspected was the root cause of their relationship drama. Cardi took the title of the song seriously and did threaten, though probably jokingly, to sue BIA over the song. Now Charlamagne and The Breakfast Club drew have shared their thoughts on the new diss track. Check out what they had to say below.
In their response to the diss track The Breakfast Club hosts were extremely critical. They pointed out that she failed to actually effectively diss Cardi. In fact, they even went as far as to say that BIA may have dissed herself more than Cardi with the new track.
What do you think of Charlamagne Tha God’s reaction to BIA’s new Cardi B diss track? Who do you think will come out on top in the beef between the two female MCs when all is said and done? Let us know in the comment section below.
