Cardi B is reportedly doubling down on her claims against Bia over her single, “Whole Lotta Money.”
Per The Jasmine Brand, Cardi claimed that Bia “lied” about writing the hook to the 2020 track, adding, “I got the whole hook on my phone.”
The women recently reignited their feud after Cardi released her “Pretty & Petty” diss track on her new album, Am I The Drama?
Bia addressed the diss during an interview with Hot 97, saying, “I was like, ‘Well, I’m glad she felt like she’d get that off.’
“I knew it was coming because, like, this is rap," she continued. "I'm competitive so, like: I diss you, you diss me, but you diss me, I diss you … We know what the reasons were and why it was all happening. It's part of the game, right, you know? It doesn't really make me feel no type of way other than, it's not true.”
“What am I supposed to do? Keep rapping with Pardison [Fontaine]?” she continued, referring to Cardi’s co-writer who is often accused of being her ghostwriter.
Bia added that she would be open to going head-to-head with Cardi in real time, saying, “If she wanna get on a stream or she wanna like get in the booth with me in the real life and, like, really rap and do it for real? … I would do it because I write on the spot.”
Cardi then took to X Spaces to further back up her claims, claiming that “Whole Lotta Money” was a reference track sent to her before Bia ever released it.
“Y’all can’t even play with me with that writing shit,” she said at the time. “I got the ‘Whole Lotta Money' record. That shit was sent to me first, and I dubbed it.”
In an interview with Billboard, Bia stood by her songwriting credits and clarified what Cardi was referring to.
“It’s so funny, because the reference that she’s speaking of is the part, ‘It’s a whole lot of money,’ and maybe a verse,” she said. “I wrote the first verse on that song, and the hook, ‘I put on my jewelry just to go to the bodega.’ So I’m so glad you clarified that, because there would be no ‘Whole Lotta Money’ if there was no, ‘I put on my jewelry just to go to the bodega.’
“That’s facts, and there would be no ‘Whole Lotta Money’ if there was no ‘I can't wear what you bitches wear, because it’s cheap to me,’ which is also what I wrote," Bia added.
From there, she pointed out that “everybody uses writers,” before adding, “Even if I do get a full song, I’m gonna put a spin on it.”
On the other hand, the self-proclaimed Brim Reaper gave “Pretty & Petty” another push by releasing a video for the diss to her Instagram account after hesitating to release a video in tandem with Bia’s new album, Bianca, to avoid “bullying” her.
