After exchanging diss tracks in the past, all seemed to be calm on the BIA and Cardi B front for much of 2026.
That all changed last Thursday (Aug. 13) when BIA doubled down on her claims made on “SUE MEEE?,” which led to Cardi unleashing on the “Whole Lotta Money” rapper hours later.
The feud stretches back to 2023, when BIA aligned herself with Cardi’s rival, Nicki Minaj, as they teamed up on “Whole Lotta Money” in 2020, and fans noticed BIA allegedly scrubbed her X account of Cardi-praising posts she had made in the past. However, BIA said they had no problems.
Still, in 2024, Cardi and BIA threw their names into the rap beef ring. BIA shaded the Grammy-winning artist over alleged similarities between BIA’s Really Her EP and Cardi’s “Enough (Miami).” She also appeared to take issue with Cardi interpolating Missy Elliott’s 1999 hit “She’s a Bitch” on “Like What (Freestyle),” which BIA sampled a year before on “I’m That Bitch.”
BIA brought the feud into the studio and released her “SUE MEEE?” diss track, in which she blasted Cardi over claims of infidelity and allegedly using ghostwriters.
Cardi eventually fired back in 2025 on Am I the Drama? ‘s “Pretty & Petty,” where she mocked BIA’s lack of commercial success and referred to the rapper as Diarrhea BIA.
The clash was resurrected last week, and this doesn’t appear to be the final chapter of the Cardi B and BIA war. Here’s a timeline of their feud below.
