In 2024, rap has seen a rise in conflicts, with almost every artist involved in some form of dispute. As one feud settles, it seems that three more pop up in its place, keeping the drama alive and well. To add to the tension, BIA recently released a diss track called “SUE ME?” targeting Cardi B, bringing their long-rumoured feud into the public eye. While the online community was divided between mocking, defending, and analyzing the track’s impact, some took the time to appreciate the Massachusetts MC’s clever wordplay and impressive flow. Overall, the prevailing sentiment leans towards positivity. Nevertheless, this track has undoubtedly made a mark in the annals of this year’s feuds, thanks to its evocative imagery and an energy reminiscent of the classic “Like That.”
The controversy began when fans accused Cardi B of imitating BIA’s style, a claim that BIA seemed to validate. It’s common for artists not to receive proper recognition for their influence, and it’s difficult to determine whether references are merely inspiration or blatant imitation. Opinions are divided, and fans have strong views that could sway your perspective.
Tensions heightened when Cardi B appeared to disrespect BIA on the “Wanna Be” remix, originally performed by GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion. BIA retaliated by mocking Cardi online, indicating she took the perceived insult to heart. Subtle messages in music can be complex, particularly when prior signs of a feud are based on social media speculation. Unfortunately, female rappers often face such challenges, and in this instance, there appears to be some validity to the claims.
Following the release of the diss track, Cardi B and BIA reportedly engaged in a tense phone call. During this conversation, Cardi B sternly warned BIA of potential legal action for allegedly spreading rumours. This development was met with mixed reactions from fans, with some feeling that it was an excessive escalation in the ongoing rap feud. As the situation unfolds, it remains uncertain whether Cardi B will choose to respond with a diss track of her own. This turn of events signifies a shift in the rap landscape, as female artists now step into the spotlight to compete for the coveted title, previously dominated by male artists such as Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
