Cardi B Reignites BIA Feud in Explosive X Spaces Rant
Cardi B fired up her long-running feud with rapper BIA during an X Spaces audio session on Thursday, August 13, accusing her of spreading false cheating rumours about Cardi's marriage to Offset and calling her a "dumb b*tch" while questioning her street credibility (Complex).
The rant centred on allegations that BIA had told one of Offset's friends that Cardi was cheating on him. Cardi denied those rumours outright on the Spaces call, according to Billboard. BIA, for her part, took to X to deny a separate claim — that she would ever get romantically involved with Offset, Cardi's estranged husband — writing in all caps: "LIESSSSSS NEVER WOULD I EVER."
The two have been trading bars since at least 2023, when BIA told Hot 97 that the friction began over alleged creative similarities between her project Really Her and Cardi's single Enough (Miami) (Billboard). BIA escalated things with her 2024 diss track SUE MEEE?, and when a fan previewed that track on X this week, BIA replied: "Ok then Talk about how it was ALL true."
Cardi fired back on record with Pretty & Petty, a track from her 2025 album Am I the Drama? The song includes the line "Name five BIA songs / Gun pointing to your head / Bow, I'm dead" — a taunt she turned into a live bit on her Little Miss Drama Tour earlier in 2026, performing a moment of silence after the lyric in a format borrowed from Beyoncé's "mute challenge" at Renaissance World Tour shows (Billboard).
During the same Spaces session, Cardi named the artists she actually draws inspiration from — Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Beyoncé and Madonna — and said BIA is not among them. The claim came as part of a broader argument that BIA has been manufacturing drama rather than building a creative case.
The feud had gone relatively quiet for much of 2026 after Cardi told fans at a Boston tour stop to stop bullying BIA on social media. BIA also waded into adjacent waters during the back-and-forth, posting about NFL receiver Stefon Diggs: "Name Someone With More BMs Than Receiving Yards" (Billboard) — a jab playing on the same "name five" format Cardi used on tour.
For fans tracking this one, the pattern is familiar: quiet stretches punctuated by a single post or audio session that pulls every prior thread back to the surface. Neither artist has indicated whether new music will follow this round, but the history suggests it usually does.
