In a surprising turn of events, the heated feud between two of hip-hop’s biggest names has come to an abrupt end.
- Cardi B has officially declared her feud with fellow rapper BIA is over.
- The decision came after Cardi learned BIA’s new album, “BIANCA,” sold only 3,000 units in its first week, failing to chart on the Billboard 200.
- During a livestream, Cardi B told fans that continuing the beef would be “overkill.”
- This truce follows Cardi B releasing a diss track aimed directly at BIA on her own recently released album.
A Change of Heart
Cardi B has waved the white flag in her ongoing beef with BIA, but the reason has sent shockwaves through the fan community. During a recent livestream on X Spaces, the “WAP” rapper revealed that she was ending the feud after discovering the commercial failure of BIA’s debut studio album, “BIANCA.”
The album reportedly sold a mere 3,000 “equivalent album units” in its first week, failing to make an appearance on the prestigious Billboard 200 albums chart. When a fan brought up the low sales figures, Cardi B announced she was stepping back, showing an unexpected moment of restraint.
“I just found out BIA’s numbers yesterday,” Cardi explained to her followers. “I’m not going to pick on her ’cause of that sh-t. Then that’s overkill.” She emphasized that she doesn’t wake up looking for a fight, stating, “I don’t pick on b-tches. I don’t wake up every single day, like, ‘I’ma pick on this girl ’cause I can.'”
The Feud’s Fiery Peak
The truce marks a stark contrast to the feud’s intensity just weeks ago. Cardi B took direct aim at BIA on a track from her own second studio album, “Am I The Drama?” On the song “Pretty & Petty,” Cardi wasted no time, calling out her rival within the first few seconds.
“Name five BIA songs, gun pointin’ to your head,” she rapped, before launching into personal attacks, referring to her as “Diarrhea BIA” and taking shots at her appearance. Cardi later explained that her aggressive response was prompted by previous comments BIA had allegedly made about her children, stating she would always defend her family.
A Tale of Two Albums
The sales figures tell a story of two vastly different career moments. While BIA’s album struggled to find a commercial footing, Cardi B’s “Am I The Drama?” sold over 200,000 equivalent units in its first week.
Despite some critics labeling her album a “flop,” Cardi has fiercely defended its performance and thanked her supporters. “First of all, I’m very proud of my number. Very proud of my number,” she said, addressing the criticism. “We’re in a very different era when it comes to music. So, not only am I proud of my numbers, but you got b-tches from the sideline that are going to try to make you not feel proud of your numbers.” For now, it seems the numbers have done what diss tracks couldn’t: end one of modern rap’s most talked-about feuds.
