Do BIA And Cardi B Have Beef?

Cardi B’s seven-year tenure at the top of the rap world has been marked by her propensity for making hits, but also by a LOT of rap beef. In addition to the most well-known feud — her currently simmering discord with “Mrs. Petty” Nicki MInaj — Cardi has been embroiled in numerous other beefs with rappers like City Girls, Cuban Doll, Joe Budden (who barely counts as a rapper these days), and more.

With the release of Cardi’s new single “Like What (Freestyle),” fans are sure she has another name to add to her ever-expanding list: Boston rapper BIA, who’s best known for her standout 2021 single “Whole Lotta Money” and collaborations with J. Cole and Nicki Minaj. So… do BIA and Cardi B have beef and why do some fans insist this is the case?

It all started — as these things so often do these days — on Twitter, where a fan noted the similarities between “Like What” and BIA’s 2023 track “Fallback.” Both songs sample Missy Elliott’s 1999 single “She’s A Bitch,” and since so many fans on social media live in bubbles of their own making (not to mention The Algorithm), it makes sense they wouldn’t realize how many hip-hop songs share the same samples.

In any case, BIA replied to the tweet with a string of woozy face emojis, following up on her public feed with a laughing “Yall are sick.”

A few hours later, Cardi wrote, “Bitches make a fool of themselves every single time 😂.. ima show ya something when I release this song tho.”

Now, not one iota of this looks like beef to me, but Stan Twitter owns a block on the corner of “Wishful Thinking” and Delulu Blvd. For what it’s worth, pretty much every Nicki Minaj collaborator seems to have to sign a NATO-style mutual offense treaty to earn their way into Mrs. Petty’s good graces. If BIA really does have it out for Cardi, it’d make three of the five guest rappers on the Queen Mix of “Super Freaky Girls” to come after the “Bodak Yellow” rapper since the song’s release. I guess Nicki was really hurt when Megan Thee Stallion seemingly switched sides, but that’s a whole other post.

Cardi B’s New Music Snippet Earns BIA Comparisons, Latter Femcee Responds

by

Largely due to the social media age, the world of female rap has never been more competitive. Latto and Ice Spice know this all too well, as virtually every outfit either wears is cross-checked by social media sleuths for any traces of copying the other. Cardi B and Nicki Minaj often face a similar fate, though lately the Hustlers actress is being compared to another femcee – BIA.

Online discourse heated up after Bardi and the “London” hitmaker both samped Missy Elliott’s 1999 hit, “She’s A B**ch.” The former used elements of the track on her new “Like What (Freestyle),” but BIA gets credit for doing it first while working with Timbaland on “I’M THAT B**CH” last summer. Things have only heated up since then, as a teaser from Cardi is now being compared to the Massachusetts native’s “FALLBACK” song.

BIA Replies to Tweet About Her and Cardi B

On Monday (March 4), one person hopped on Twitter/X to share snippets from each artist. “But BIA is definitely on Cardi’s mood board a lot,” they speculated, also adding an image comparing the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker to JT and Doja Cat in terms of her recent outfit choices. When she saw the post, BIA replied, “🥴🥴🥴,” making it unclear if she’s unimpressed with the similar sonics, or growing tired of constantly being compared to others in her field.

While we wait to hear what else Cardi B has in store for us this year, reactions to the “Like What” music video are still pouring in. Much to the Bardi Gang’s surprise, her husband Offset sat in the director’s chair for the project following their “separation.” Even with all the drama the couple went through late last year, many think he killed it and hope to see them collaborate more in the future. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

BIA Drops Visuals For “FALLBACK,” Travis Scott Pops In For A Brief Cameo: Watch

BIA is a popular rapper in the current landscape, but it feels she does not get the right amount of credit. Her first big hit “WHOLE LOTTA MONEY,” put her on the map in 2021, but the Massachusetts product has been in the game since 2016. But, that song did slow down her passion for the music. In 2022, she broke through with another smasher, “LONDON.” That saw her and J. Cole drop some entertaining verses, with Jermaine flexing his British accent.

In 2023, BIA is keeping up her momentum too. She did so with her second project, REALLY HER. “LONDON” landed on it but also featured songs like “FALLBACK,” for example. It is a song that features a great flow and cadence from BIA, as well as solid writing. “That’s just the principle, baby, I’m takin’ b*****s to class / I’m startin’ to feel like the principal, baby (Yeah, yeah), I wouldn’t give you a pass.”

Check Out The Music Video For “FALLBACK” By BIA

The song just got the music video treatment about a day ago. BIA is in a Las Vegas casino with her girlfriends gambling and living the life. However, around the 1:00 mark, someone appears for a brief moment to play some games. It is none other than Travis Scott. It may come as a surprise to see them collaborate, but they do have a song with Lil Blessin called “Likka Sto 2.” Maybe, this could mean that one of them lands on a track of their own.

What are your initial thoughts on this music video for BIA’s “FALLBACK?” Is this the best song from her 2023 project, REALLY HER? Do you prefer the new INTL DELUXE, or the original version? Will Travis Scott appear in a BIA track down the line, and would be down to hear them on a track together? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around BIA and Travis Scott. Finally, stay with us for all of the best music video drops throughout the week.

BIA is really her, and she wants to prove it on the Really Her Tour. The Massachusetts rapper, best known for her viral hits “Best On Earth” and “Whole Lotta Money,” is promoting her most recent EP Really Her ahead of the release of her debut album, and hitting the road for her first headlining tour beginning tonight in Los Angeles. The three-week tour will include a hometown show in Boston next Tuesday and conclude the day before Halloween back in California at the Observatory in Santa Ana.

BIA is bringing along two fellow rappers on the rise in Lakeyah and Lebra Jolie; you can find out more about them below.

Who Is Opening BIA’s ‘The Really Her Tour?’

Lakeyah

Milwaukee rapper Lakeyah got her big break when she left her hometown and moved to Atlanta for school but dropped out after two months. Shortly after that she was signed to Quality Control Music, which has supported a string of releases including the mixtapes Time’s Up and In Due Time, as well as two No Pressure EPs. In that time, Lakeyah was featured on the XXL Freshman cover for 2021, and has collaborated with Gucci Mane, Flo Milli, Latto, DJ Drama, and more.

Lebra Jolie

Signed to Interscope, Lebra Jolie hails from Houston, and just like other H-Town natives KenTheMan, Erica Banks, and Megan Thee Stallion, she’s got a razor sharp, punchy flow and the defiant, devil-may-care attitude to match. She’s dropped two EPs, 2018’s Briana and 2022’s Lebra Jolie, and recent collaborations with hood favorites Babyface Ray and Rob49 have seen her hype train slowly but surely picking up steam.

BIA Tacks On Seven Additional Songs, Gives Us “REALLY HER (INTL DELUXE)”

by

BIA is in a crowded field of female rappers. There are so many fresh new faces on the scene and with that comes every one of them battling to be unique. Some are either going to come out of the pack and grab a lot of listeners’ attention, or fall to the wayside. However, we would argue that BIA is one of those standout voices that has the chance to become even bigger than she is already.

Things really did not pop off for her until about late 2020 to 2021. But, she has been releasing music to streaming since 2016. BIA has two projects under her belt with FOR CERTAIN (2020), which featured the viral track “WHOLE LOTTA MONEY.” Then, back on July 28, she put out her sophomore effort REALLY HER.

The REALLY HER (INTL DELUXE) sees BIA grab artists from across the globe, hence the INTL aspect. BIA’s recognizable husky but smooth delivery is one that will be sticking around for years to come.

BIA Net Worth 2023: What Is The Rapper Worth?

by

BIA, an American rapper recognized for her unique style and powerful lyrics, has made significant strides in the music industry. As of 2023, her net worth is estimated to be around $2 million US dollars, according to CAKnowledge. But how did she achieve this, and what makes her stand out in the crowded world of rap?

Born on August 16, 1991, in the picturesque city of Medford, Massachusetts, BIA’s journey to stardom was anything but ordinary. With a Puerto Rican father and an Italian mother, BIA’s multicultural background significantly shaped her music. Despite her parents separating when she was just five, they remained united in supporting their daughter’s dreams. BIA’s passion for music was evident from a young age. Inspired by the rich musical culture of Puerto Rico, she began singing at the tender age of 11. With encouragement from her father and unwavering support from her mother, BIA ventured into the music industry as an intern at 20. This experience provided her with invaluable insights into the business side of music.

Rise To Stardom

In 2012, at just 21, BIA released her first commercial mixtape, showcasing her talent. The same year saw another mixtape release, setting the stage for her debut single in 2014. However, it was in 2016 that BIA tasted major success, a testament to her hard work and dedication. But success didn’t come without its challenges. BIA faced a significant setback when a bad investment cost her nearly $4 million. Despite this, her resilience and determination saw her bounce back, continuing to make waves in the music industry.

BIA’s Achievements & Endorsements

BIA’s talent hasn’t gone unnoticed. She secured a lucrative contract in 2016 to produce seven singles for a whopping $45 million. Moreover, her versatility extends beyond music. The rapper has also ventured into modeling and acting, and even became a brand ambassador for various skincare products. Interestingly, BIA’s success isn’t limited to traditional music platforms. She has a substantial presence on YouTube, arguably more significant than on Spotify. This digital success has garnered attention from big names in the industry, with global icon Rihanna endorsing all of BIA’s singles.

Looking Ahead

While BIA’s current net worth is $2 million, her potential is undeniable. With her talent, determination, and the support of industry giants, it wouldn’t be surprising to see her net worth soar in the coming years. Overall, the rapper’s journey in the music industry is a testament to her talent, resilience, and the unwavering support of her parents. From her early days in Medford to her current status as a recognized rapper, BIA’s story inspires many. As she continues to make her mark in the world of music, one thing is certain: BIA is a force to be reckoned with.
