I guess beef season isn’t over after all. Only this time, rappers Bia and Cardi B are embroiled in a heated controversy.
Like most rap beefs, this one seemed to start with some subconscious disdain. Still, the scene begs the question: If a pun hints at a name being leaked, is it really an understudy? You see, this apparently all started with Cardi B’s “Wanna Be (Remix)” verse, in which she raps, and we quote, “She’s on the shelf though, Ikea/Hope she’ll talk like that when I see her /B* **Please, no one wants to be you”, the ending rhyme suggests playing on “Bia”.
Cut to earlier today, where Cardi B took to social events to clear up the misunderstanding and give her thoughts on her situation with Bia. Cardi revealed a transcript of a phone call she recorded between Bea and herself, in which Cardi expresses anger over recent insinuations that Cardi stole from Bea. She went on to say that she didn’t like Bea – “don’t like her music, didn’t like her look, and didn’t like her style”, but went on to say how she had to pull out receipts and prove to Bea that she didn’t steal hers style. According to Cardi, the songs Bea claims Cardi copied from her were all produced before Bea released hers (which include “Like What (Freestyle)” and “Enough”).
Oh, there’s more!
So I got a call and it stopped my screen recording, but not before Cardi “showed off her work.” She indicated that she recorded the song (I think she was talking about 2023) and also had the video treatment from last year… to show that she didn’t plagiarize anyone! pic.twitter.com/UDNipiRV8t

But after all this, Bea didn’t seem to care. Earlier today, Bia previewed her diss song against Cardi on Instagram Live. On top of that, the song begins with an automated recording that says, “This call may be recorded for quality and training purposes,” which seems to gloss over Cardi B’s recording of the phone call between the two.
On the track, Bea blasted Cardi, blaming her for not being able to keep up with the beat, her surgeries, her relationship with her husband and more. Watch her perform the song in the studio, below:
