Cardi B Escalates BIA Rift With ‘Pretty & Petty’ DIY Video, Then Challenges ‘Whole Lotta Money’ Writing Credit

The feud has pivoted to a credit dispute after BIA told Billboard she wrote key lines of Whole Lotta Money, prompting Cardi to argue the hook came to her as a reference track.

Overview

  • Cardi B posted a self-shot Instagram visual for Pretty & Petty on Oct. 19, captioning it “Pretty & Petty… and pregnant.”
  • The DJ Swanqo–produced track includes pointed bars at BIA and has peaked at No. 43 on the Billboard Hot 100.
  • Cardi previously said she delayed releasing the video to avoid appearing to bully BIA during the Oct. 10 rollout of BIA’s Bianca album.
  • In a new Billboard interview, BIA said she would not tie a diss to her album and asserted she wrote the first verse and signature lines of Whole Lotta Money.
  • On Oct. 22, Cardi doubled down by saying BIA lied about writing the hook, claiming she has the full hook as a reference on her phone.
