Online drama continued to plague Cardi B on Tuesday (March 5). The hitmaker was accused of biting Bia’s style, which elicited a response from the Atlantic Records artist.
“B###### make a fool of themselves every single time,” Cardi B wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “I’ma show ya something when I release this song tho.”
The diamond-selling rapper’s latest issue originated from a Nicki Minaj fan account on social media. The Nicki fan pointed out similarities between a Cardi B teaser featured in the “Like What (Freestyle)” music video and Bia’s song “FALLBACK.” Bia co-signed the fan’s thoughts by liking the post and responding with multiple woozy face emojis.
Bia also liked a separate post saying the snippet sounded like her song. Her endorsement added to biting chatter since “Like What (Freestyle)” featured Cardi B putting her spin on Missy Elliott’s “She’s a B####.” Bia previously sampled Missy’s single for the track “I’m That B####.”
Last year, Bia denied having any issues with Cardi B. Fans assumed there were problems between the two since Bia collaborated with Nicki, a noted rival of Cardi B.
“Keep it 100,” Bia said. “Sweetie, I didn’t switch up on anybody because I don’t know Cardi in real life. 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.”
Bia’s “FALLBACK” appeared on her 2023 album REALLY HER. Cardi B’s “Like What (Freestyle)” dropped in February. The teaser in question advised fans to stay tuned because the song was “just the beginning.” She planned to release her sophomore album later this year.
