Cardi B Reignites Feud With BIA Through “Pretty & Petty” Video Teaser
Cardi B has stirred controversy again. On Sunday, she previewed the music video for her new track “Pretty & Petty,” hinting that the song takes fresh aim at her long-time rival, BIA. The teaser, shared on Instagram, quickly caught attention for one pointed lyric from the Am I the Drama? track: “Name five BIA songs, gun pointin’ to your head. Baow, I’m dead.”
The line immediately reignited debate among fans. When Live Bitez reposted the clip on Instagram, reactions were split. Some praised Cardi’s boldness. Others felt she was dragging out an old feud. “Girl, the moment has passed and we don’t care. Move along,” one user commented. Another wrote, “This drama is old, tiring, and boring. Can we bring attention to more important things going on in the world?”
Cardi B and BIA’s feud dates back to 2023. Both artists released tracks that sampled Missy Elliott’s 1999 hit “She’s a B*tch,” sparking comparisons and accusations of copying. What began as a musical clash quickly grew into a public rivalry, with both women trading insults in their lyrics and across social media. Cardi B’s release of Am I the Drama? in September reignited the tension. The track included several references widely believed to target BIA and others in the industry. The new Pretty & Petty teaser has now added more fuel to that ongoing fire.
In a recent interview with Billboard, BIA addressed why she didn’t respond to Cardi’s digs on her new album BIANCA, released October 10. “If I was to ever address it again, I would never attach it to my album,” she said. “This is a beautiful body of work that I believe in. I wouldn’t want to disservice it or overshadow it with noise or negativity.” Her comments suggest she’s choosing music over conflict. The Boston rapper appears focused on cementing her place in hip-hop through artistry rather than online drama.
BIA isn’t the only artist in Cardi’s crosshairs. In recent weeks, Cardi has also clashed with JT and Nicki Minaj on social media. Despite the growing list of disputes, she continues to push her music and personal life into the spotlight. Cardi also made headlines with her pregnancy announcement alongside the release of Am I the Drama? The rapper is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, NFL player Stefon Diggs. She already shares children with her ex-husband, Offset.
Cardi B’s Pretty & Petty video is expected to drop soon, and fans are watching closely. Whether the track helps her score another hit or fuels more controversy, it’s clear Cardi has no plans to step back from the spotlight. Her rivalry with BIA may have started over a sample, but it has evolved into one of hip-hop’s most public feuds. With both artists releasing new music, the competition between them continues to shape headlines and fan discussions across the industry.
