  • BIA’s Album Sales Disappoint, Cardi B Fans Rejoice

    The rap world is buzzing, and not necessarily in a good way for BIA. Her debut album, “BIANCA,” has landed with a thud in terms of sales, selling a mere 2,800 units in its first week. This disappointing performance has predictably sent waves of excitement through the fanbase of her rival, Cardi B.

    A Stark Contrast to Cardi B’s Success

    This news comes as a stark contrast to Cardi B’s recent success. After a seven-year hiatus, Cardi B dropped her sophomore album, “AM I THE DRAMA?” in September, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, moving an impressive 200,000 copies. The numbers for “BIANCA” not only missed the charts entirely but were even lower than some initial, less dire, reports suggested.

    While artistic quality is subjective, Cardi B’s fans, often referred to as the “Bardi Gang,” are clearly focused on the hard numbers. They’ve taken to social media, particularly the comments section of chart tracking posts, to celebrate BIA’s low sales figures and declare victory in the ongoing feud between the two artists.

    Fans Weigh In on Social Media

    Fans have been quick to mock BIA’s performance. Comments like “It went double wood” (referencing a fake RIAA Wood plaque) and “guess we still can’t name 5 BIA songs” highlight the perceived lack of impact from her debut. Another fan bluntly stated, “Bia who? Cardi’s numbers still clownin’ these flops,” emphasizing the perceived dominance of Cardi B.

    This taunting stems partly from a previous Instagram post by BIA where she boasted about having “16 more songs u can name” ahead of “BIANCA’s” release, a statement her rival’s fans are now using against her.

    Cardi B’s Reaction

    Cardi B herself has acknowledged the news, though she expressed a desire not to “bully” BIA. During an X Spaces conversation, she mentioned finding out about the sales numbers and stated, “I’m not gonna pick on her because of that sh*t. That, then that’s overkill.” However, she also issued a veiled warning, suggesting she would “strike again” when she felt ready, implying the feud is far from over.

    While Cardi B maintains a somewhat more measured public stance, her fanbase is clearly relishing this moment. The low sales for “BIANCA” have provided ample ammunition for the “Bardi Gang” to celebrate their favorite artist’s continued success and highlight BIA’s struggles.

  • Cardi B Disses BIA in “Pretty & Petty” Teaser

    The rap world is buzzing again as Cardi B drops another fiery teaser for her upcoming music video, “Pretty & Petty.” This latest clip seems to add more fuel to the ongoing feud between Cardi B and fellow rapper BIA, proving that this beef is far from over. If you’re looking for some lyrical jabs, this is definitely one to watch!

    A Ruthless Diss Track Teaser

    Cardi B took to Instagram on Sunday to share a snippet of the “Pretty & Petty” video, and it’s packed with direct shots at BIA. In the teaser, Cardi B can be heard rapping a particularly pointed line from her song “Am I the Drama?”: “Name five BIA songs, gun pointin’ to your head/ Baow, I’m dead.”

    This bold statement challenges BIA’s musical catalog, questioning her impact and recognition in the industry. The line implies that BIA’s discography is so obscure that even under duress, one couldn’t name five of her songs. It’s a classic diss track move, designed to provoke and assert dominance.

    Fan Reactions and Ongoing Feud

    When the clip was shared by Live Bitez on Instagram, the comments section lit up with mixed reactions from fans. Some users expressed that the drama has gone on too long, with one commenting, “Girl, the moment has passed and we don’t care. Move along.” Another echoed this sentiment, stating, “This drama is old tiring and boring can we bring attention to more important things that’s going on in the world!”

    However, the feud between Cardi B and BIA has been simmering since 2023. It originally kicked off when both artists released tracks sampling Missy Elliott’s iconic 1999 hit, “She’s a B*tch.” Since then, they’ve exchanged disses through songs and social media posts, making this latest teaser just another chapter in their ongoing rap battle.

    BIA’s Perspective

    Interestingly, BIA recently spoke with Billboard about her new album, “BIANCA,” released on October 10th. When asked about addressing Cardi B, BIA explained her decision not to include a direct response on her album. She stated, “If I was to ever address it again, I would never attach it to my album, because this is a beautiful body of work that I believe in. I wouldn’t want to disservice this and overshadow it with noise or negativity.”

    This suggests BIA is trying to keep the focus on her music, viewing the beef as a distraction from her artistic efforts. It’s a strategic move to protect the integrity of her album, which she clearly feels is a significant project.

    More Than Just BIA?

    It’s worth noting that BIA isn’t the only artist Cardi B has been trading shots with recently. She’s also been engaging in public spats with JT and Nicki Minaj, among others. The hip-hop landscape seems to be full of these high-profile feuds right now!

    Adding another layer to recent news, Cardi B also announced she and her new boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, are expecting their first child together. She shared this exciting personal news alongside the release of “Am I the Drama?” This certainly makes for a busy and eventful period for the superstar rapper.

  • Bia Chooses Music Over Cardi B Diss

    In the competitive world of hip-hop, rap beefs can often steal the spotlight. However, Massachusetts rapper Bia is making a conscious decision to steer clear of the drama, particularly when it comes to a diss track from Cardi B. Bia recently appeared on “The Breakfast Club” to discuss her new album, “BIANCA,” and firmly explained why she won’t be engaging with the diss track anytime soon.

    Prioritizing Music Over Beef

    Bia stated that responding to Cardi B’s diss track would be a “disservice to myself” and everything she’s invested in her latest album. “This isn’t even about her, this is really about real artists,” she explained on the show. “Like, the artists that get up and go to the studio and care about the creative and do their work and have limited resources. I’m speaking for them. This is not even about her anymore. This is like, I’m anti-machine.”

    She emphasized that her mission extends far beyond responding to public conflicts. “There’s so much more importance to my message and what I’m here for than to rap beef,” Bia continued concerning Cardi B. “I’ve been out for over 10 years and I’ve never gotten into a rap beef. That says a lot about me. I have great relationships in this business because I carry myself a certain way. Why would I ruin that? I can address it any time, but I’m just here for a bigger mission right now.”

    A Decade of Professionalism

    With over 10 years in the music business, Bia has built a reputation for professionalism and maintaining positive relationships within the industry. Her choice not to engage with the diss track demonstrates a strategic focus on her artistry and long-term success. This approach highlights her dedication to her “bigger mission” and reinforces her commitment to her craft, proving that she’s focused on more than just fleeting industry conflicts.

  • BIA Teams Up with Key Glock for ‘DADE’

    Get ready, because BIA is dropping some serious heat! She’s just released ‘DADE,’ a brand new track featuring the unmistakable sound of Memphis’ own Key Glock. This is the third taste we’re getting from her highly anticipated debut album, ‘BIANCA,’ set to drop on October 10.

    A Southern Hip-Hop Vibe

    While BIA has shown versatility with previous teasers like the dancehall-infused ‘ONE THING’ and the raunchy party anthem ‘BIRTHDAY BEHAVIOR,’ ‘DADE’ dives headfirst into Southern hip-hop territory. You can really hear the Memphis influence, especially in BIA’s chorus flow, which pays a direct homage to the iconic style of Project Pat.

    Adding to the track’s authenticity is Key Glock himself. He seamlessly continues the drawn-out delivery style at the beginning and end of his verse, creating a solid chemistry with BIA, even though it’s their first time collaborating. It’s a banger that perfectly fits the vibe of the upcoming 15-song album.

    Building Up to ‘BIANCA’

    For those who might not know, BIA has been professionally releasing music since 2016. While she’s put out projects like 2020’s ‘FOR CERTAIN’ and 2023’s ‘REALLY HER,’ these were more EP-length. ‘BIANCA’ is shaping up to be her most ambitious and daring body of work yet, showcasing different facets of her artistry.

    I rip thе n**** (Yeah), all these b*tches on my pickup (Yeah)Shoot first, no dribler, these n****s always talkin’ pillowsHard to sing like SZA, like young, I’m about my businessYeah, they know what’s up ’cause I never gave a fizzlerAll a n**** knows it’s gonna get his damn breadDon’t go against the gram, they takin’ off they damn heads — BIA & Key Glock – ‘DADE’

    The lyrics on ‘DADE’ are sharp and confident, reflecting BIA’s assertive style. With Key Glock adding his distinctive flair, the track is a compelling preview of what ‘BIANCA’ has in store. We’re definitely wishing the track was a bit longer, but it’s a strong addition to the album’s tracklist.

    You can check out ‘DADE’ now and get hyped for the full album release on October 10!
