Cardi B and Bia have never collaborated on wax. But they share some history. Tension has been simmering for years, but things finally spilled over with Cardi B releasing a new song, "Pretty & Petty," dissing Bia. The song, which is on Cardi's sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, comes a year after Bia dissed her on "SUE MEEE?"
Last June, Cardi went to Instagram Live and detailed the timeline. She claims that she hadn’t had a problem with Bia until the Medford, Massachusetts-bred rapper started sending subliminal shots, claiming Cardi copied her flow on “Like What (Freestyle).”
After Cardi’s Live ended, Bia hopped on Instagram Live as well and debuted “SUE MEEE?,” which is a track Cardi teased during her own Live.
So how did we get here? And were there signs of tension before this? Here’s everything you need to know about Cardi B and Bia’s beef.

March 12, 2023: Bia denies having any issues with Cardi B
In 2023, Bia took to her TikTok Live to refute claims that she had issues with Cardi. This came after fans started floating screenshots of now-deleted old tweets of Bia supporting Cardi. Much of the speculation came from the fact that Bia and longtime Cardi rival Nicki Minaj were getting chummy. (The two collaborated on the "Whole Lotta Money" and “Super Freaky Girl” remixes.)
“Sweetie, I didn't switch up on anybody because I don't know Cardi in real life,” Bia explained on the Live. “I've never met Cardi, we've never had a conversation. Like, I don't have no issues with her, it's all love, but I don't know her. Y'all do too much on this app, I don't know her in real life. We don't know each other. We don't know them. Ask me about somebody I know. Ask me about somebody I've met in real life, not online." Cardi never immediately addressed this live or these comments. —Jordan Rose
April 12, 2024: Bia seemingly disses Cardi B on Dreezy’s “Bitch Duh” Remix
On Dreezy’s “Bitch Duh” remix, Bia raps, “I hear bitches poppin’ shit and that’s so funny to me/ How you say you runnin’ down but you can’t walk on the beat?” which some fans believe might be a reference to comments Cardi made during a 360 With Speedy Mormon episode where she talked about having difficulty rapping on Ice Spice’s "Munch” beat.
Bia goes on to say, “I can never turn my phone on just to cry, on a Live/ I hate a sneaky nigga, pick a side/If you wanna get up with me, tell that bitch that we’re outside.” That line is seemingly a reference to an incident last December where the New York rapper broke down on Instagram Live about her relationship with Offset and dealing with his infidelities. —Jordan Rose
May 31, 2024: Cardi B sends shots at Bia on “Wanna Be” Remix
Cardi B responded to Bia’s subliminals by joining GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion on the remix to “Wanna Be.” In her verse, Cardi raps, “Hope she talk like that when I see her (Woo)/Bitch, please, don't nobody wanna be ya (BIA) (Ah)/Cheap lookin' ass ho, weak lookin' ass ho/Great Value me lookin' ass ho/Girl, these bitches be pussy/Delete every tweet lookin' ass ho.”
Besides basically calling out Bia by name, Cardi also references the alleged tweet-and-delete antics that had been circulating. Bia immediately took to Twitter after the verse dropped, posting a clip from a rap battle where one MC’s verse is clowned by the crowd, and another writing, “BITCHS IS WACK. BITCHS IS TRASH.I SHOULD HANG BITCHS RIGHT OVER MY KNEE, THE WAY I BE PUTTIN MY BELT TO THEY ASS.” —Jordan Rose
June 1, 2024: Bia previews “Sue Meee?” on Instagram Live
On May 31, Bia tweeted: “BITCHES IS WACK. BITCHES IS TRASH.I SHOULD HANG BITCHES RIGHT OVER MY KNEE, THE WAY I BE PUTTIN MY BELT TO THEY ASSSSSSSS”
Bia then previewed a scathing diss record aimed at Cardi B. On the song she claims that Cardi cheated on Offset, rapping: “Put it on your gang if they ain't f**k you in.” She also referenced Cardi’s daughter, Kulture, rapping: “Thought your ass was for the culture, you just tryin’ to ride the wave / You should be home with your kids ‘cause bitch, you speak like second grade.”
Bia even made the cover art a screenshot from Offset’s story accusing Cardi of cheating, which read: “My wife f****d a n***a on me gang yall n****s know how I come,” Cardi did not release a song in response, but instead went on Instagram Live to break the situation down from her perspective. —Antonio Johri
June 2, 2024: Cardi B airs out Bia on Instagram Live
Seemingly in response, Cardi B went live to explain the entire situation. She revealed that she had a phone call with Bia in which Bia claimed Cardi copied her entire musical style and aesthetic for her track “Enough.” The phone call ended in screaming, which Cardi played during the live. Cardi then claimed that she had sent Bia the song much earlier to get her on a feature, and that she had actually recorded the track all the way back in 2022.
She also directly addressed the diss track, getting more serious when responding to the cheating accusations, saying: “I’mma sue you and you gotta come with receipts.”
Bia capitalized on this moment, naming her track “Sue Meee?” and releasing it, continuing to jab at Cardi. —Antonio Johri
September 19, 2025: Cardi B Disses 'Diarrhea BIA' on "Pretty & Petty" Track
Cardi B raps “Name five BIA songs, gun pointin' to your head / Bow, I'm dead” on song “Pretty & Petty” off her album, Am I The Drama?
The track opens with Cardi declaring herself “pretty” and “petty as fuck” before setting her target on BIA.
“Name five BIA songs, gun pointin’ to your head,” the Invasion of Privacy Grammy winner raps in the first line of the first verse. “Bow, I’m dead.”
From there, Cardi highlights what she likens to a “melatonin flow,” arguing that Epic Records, the label behind BIA, should “run me my bread” for mentioning her on the record. Later, Cardi says she always thanks God “I’m not you” when praying, adding that she’d rather “die on the surgery table” than “walk around here lookin’ like you.”
Cardi continues her fiery BIA mockery in the second verse, calling her “a fake ghetto bitch” and asking “Why you always at Diddy house?” Shortly after, BIA is referred to as “Diarrhea BIA” before Cardi builds on the tall stack of disses by adding in that her foe is “built like your dad” and only gets booked “when they can’t afford Coi [Leray].”
In the track’s closing moments, Mean Girls gets a nod (“I’m a mean girl, you a Gretchen, at best”) before Cardi wonders if BIA is “dumb” for wanting a feud with her.
“Told you, don’t you ever mention my kids, bitch,” Cardi adds. —Antonio Johri
September 19, 2025: Cardi B addresses Bia on The Breakfast Club
Cardi B revisited the situation during her Breakfast Club interview. When asked why she chose to bring the beef up again after years of back-and-forth, Cardi explained that she drew the line when Bia “mentioned [her] kids trying to be cute.”
Cardi added that she wants to be able to speak openly with her children when they grow up, reminding them that everything on the internet is permanent. She wants to say she defended them whenever they ask what she said on their behalf.
Cardi also stated that Bia “was really trying to even mess things up in [her] home.” She went on to debunk the cheating rumors, explaining that a producer working with Offset confirmed the claims were fabricated. She made it very clear that Bia was not referring to a real situation with the specific man in the rumor, but rather spreading falsehoods. —Antonio Johri
