Another rap beef? Cardi B takes a shot at rapper BIA

Cardi B's verse on the "Wanna Be (Remix)" with Megan Thee Stallion and Glorilla has sparked speculation of a rap feud between Cardi B and rapper BIA.

The latter line may be a reference to a BIA song from April where she rapped "How you say you runnin’ down but you can’t walk on the beat," which some interpreted as a dig at Cardi B. Cardi B previously expressed interest in rapping over the beat to Ice Spice's "Munch" but reportedly struggled to find a suitable flow.

Shortly after the remix's release, BIA posted on social media, seemingly responding to Cardi B's lyrics. She wrote, "B—- IS WACK. B—-IS TRASH. I SHOULD HANG B—- RIGHT OVER MY KNEE, THE WAY I BE PUTTIN MY BELT TO THEY A–," referencing lyrics from Cardi B's song "Clout."

BIA also shared a video with the "Wanna Be" instrumental playing in the background, featuring a battle rapper delivering a line that fell flat with the audience. This has been interpreted as a metaphor for Cardi B's alleged diss track.

The two rappers have a history. Last year, BIA addressed rumors of friction between them, stating, "I didn't switch up on anybody because I don't know Cardi in real life" (source: BIA's March 2023 Instagram live). Despite this, there have been ongoing barbs exchanged. In March 2024, Cardi B released a freestyle sampling Missy Elliot's "She's A B—-," which some fans claimed mimicked BIA's prior use of the same sample. BIA responded on social media with "." Cardi B later posted, "B—- make a fool of themselves every single time .. ima show ya something when I release this song tho"
