Cardi B Responds to Bia’s Voice Criticism After Diss — “That’s a Million Dollar Voice, Baby!”
The hip-hop world is no stranger to fiery feuds, and the latest clash between Cardi B and BIA has fans buzzing with excitement. The drama unfolded when BIA, the Massachusetts-born rapper, took aim at Cardi B in a diss track titled “SUE MEEE?” following Cardi’s verse on the remix of GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be,” released on May 31, 2024. Cardi’s verse included pointed lines like, “Guess I’m a teacher since you wanna sub me / Thought she was on the shelf, IKEA / Hope she talk like that when I see her / Bitch please, don’t nobody wanna be ya,” which many interpreted as a direct jab at BIA. The tension escalated when BIA fired back, not only targeting Cardi’s music and style but also taking a personal swipe at her voice, mocking her delivery and even comparing her speech to that of a second-grader. Cardi, never one to back down, responded with her characteristic flair, turning the criticism into a moment of empowerment that has since gone viral.
The feud’s roots trace back to earlier in 2024, when fans accused Cardi of mimicking BIA’s style after both artists sampled Missy Elliott’s 1999 track “She’s a Bitch” for their respective songs, Cardi’s “Like What (Freestyle)” and BIA’s “Fallback.” BIA seemed to fuel these claims, posting a woozy emoji on X in response to a fan’s accusation, which prompted Cardi to clap back, denying any imitation. The exchange simmered until Cardi’s “Wanna Be” verse reignited the conflict, leading BIA to drop her diss track on June 1, 2024, via Instagram Live, later releasing it officially on YouTube. In “SUE MEEE?,” BIA didn’t hold back, accusing Cardi of infidelity in her marriage to Offset, questioning her lyrical authenticity, and taking a jab at her vocal style, rapping, “You should be home with your kids ’cause bitch, you speak like second grade.”
Cardi, known for her unapologetic demeanor, addressed BIA’s diss during an Instagram Live session on June 1, 2024. She expressed frustration, particularly over BIA’s allegations about her personal life, stating, “I’m so appalled at the fact that sheწ
System: she thinks I’m copying her… I don’t like her music, I don’t like her style.” But it was BIA’s jab at her voice that Cardi turned into a moment of triumph. In a follow-up post on X, Cardi boldly declared, “That’s a million dollar voice, baby! You could never!” The quip was a masterclass in confidence, transforming BIA’s insult into a celebration of Cardi’s unique delivery, which has become a hallmark of her chart-topping career. Fans flooded social media with praise, with many calling her response iconic for its wit and defiance.
The exchange didn’t stop there. Cardi threatened legal action against BIA for spreading rumors about her alleged infidelity, emphasizing that such claims crossed a line beyond rap beef. “I’m a sue you and you got to come with receipts,” she warned, referencing her successful 2022 defamation lawsuit against blogger Tasha K as a precedent. BIA, undeterred, captioned her diss track with, “SUE ME ??? That’s not hip hop,” doubling down on her stance. The back-and-forth has sparked heated debates among fans, with some praising BIA’s lyrical jabs while others argue Cardi’s charisma and delivery outshine her rival. Social media reactions have been mixed, with one X user noting, “BIA’s diss had bars, but Cardi’s response was pure energy—she flipped it like a pro.” Another commented, “Cardi’s voice is her brand. Mocking it just gave her more power.”
The feud has also highlighted the competitive nature of female rap in 2024, a year marked by high-profile beefs like Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s lyrical showdown. While BIA’s track aimed to challenge Cardi’s authenticity, Cardi’s response leaned into her larger-than-life persona, reminding fans why she remains a dominant force in hip-hop. Her ability to turn criticism into a viral moment underscores her knack for staying relevant, even as she prepares for her long-awaited sophomore album, set to drop in 2025. In her latest single, “Outside,” released on June 20, 2025, Cardi continued her subtle jabs at BIA, rapping, “Ain’t shit changed, didn’t then and still don’t wanna BIA,” reinforcing her unbothered attitude.
As the dust settles, the Cardi-BIA feud has become more than just a clash of bars—it’s a testament to Cardi’s resilience and ability to command attention. By embracing her “million dollar voice,” she’s not only silenced her critics but also reaffirmed her place in the cultural zeitgeist. Whether BIA responds with another track or the beef fizzles out, one thing is clear: Cardi B knows how to turn a diss into a win, and her fans are here for every moment of it.
