Cardi B is feeling pretty and petty after she reignited her feud with BIA on Thursday (Aug. 13). The Grammy-winning rapper went on the offensive against BIA in an explosive Spaces after the Massachusetts native appeared to double down on the claims she made in her “SUE MEEE?” Cardi diss track.

BIA and Doja Cat may have made amends the same day, but don’t expect the same from Cardi and the 34-year-old rapper in the near future. A fan posted a clip on X Thursday of BIA previewing her 2024 Cardi B diss, and BIA hopped into the replies , standing on every bar being the truth. “Ok then Talk about how it was ALL true,” she wrote.
BIA also responded to another fan on X to deny she’d ever get romantic with Cardi’s estranged husband, Offset. “LIESSSSSS NEVER WOULD I EVER,” she added .
Word of BIA mentioning Cardi on social media quickly made it back to the Bronx native, who headed to Spaces and unleashed on BIA with a scathing rant.
“B—h, you’re a f–king weirdo. B—h, you wanna have beef with me so bad. You need to have beef with God,” she spewed. “It ain’t my fault you ain’t never made it, b—h. B—h, I don’t wanna f–king look like you, I don’t wanna sound like you, I don’t wanna rap like you, I don’t wanna dress like you, I don’t wanna smell like you because everyone say your breath stink. I don’t wanna be f–king like you.”
Cardi pushed back against BIA’s claims that the Grammy winner was copying one of her music videos. “You’re nothing I look up to … You don’t have nothing … You don’t inspire me for s–t,” she said, adding exceptions who inspire her include Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Beyoncé and Madonna.
The 33-year-old also shut down rumors she claims BIA started about Cardi cheating on Offset when they were together, which the “AH HA” rapper says never happened.
“Let’s talk about how months later your dumb ass told one of my ex-husband friends that I was cheating on him,” she said. “And I was like, ‘Yo, where the f–k that s–t came from? Where the f–k that s–t came from? Mind you, when you said that s–t, I never I never flirted with a n—a. I never kissed a n—a. I never had a DM with a n—a.”
Cardi continued: “One thing about me in the industry, nobody could ever say that I was f–kin’ with nobody. Not even in the industry, even in the streets. ‘Cause one thing for sure and for certain, I was always for the seven years that I was with this f–k n—a.”
Billboard has reached out to BIA’s reps for comment.
BIA and Cardi’s feud dates back to possibly 2023, as BIA told Hot 97 in October that the root of their issue was alleged creative similarities between her Really Her project and Cardi’s “Enough (Miami).”
The fuse was lit by 2024, as BIA dissed Cardi on “SUE MEEE?” Cardi B returned fire with “Pretty & Petty” from her 2025 album, Am I the Drama? . “Name five BIA songs/ Gun pointing to your head/ Bow, I’m dead,” Cardi raps on the track.
However, while Cardi was on tour earlier this year, she told fans in Boston to stop bullying BIA on social media. Things remained relatively quiet for much of 2026, before the pot was stirred once again on Thursday.
