Cardi B has made headlines once again, this time in response to a perceived diss from fellow Bronx rapper Ice Spice. The drama unfolded shortly after Ice Spice released her debut album, “Y2K!” on July 26. The track “BB Belt” features lyrics that many interpreted as a jab at Cardi B.
In “BB Belt,” Ice Spice raps, “Think she pretty, but changin’ her face/ Fallin’ behind like, bi**h, pick up your pace/ It was funny ’til I took her place/ Her man callin’, but I be like, ‘Who this?’” These lines sparked immediate speculation about whether they were directed at Cardi B, who has been a dominant force in the rap scene.
Following the release of the album, Cardi B took to her X account to express her feelings. She posted a series of messages that seemed to address the situation directly. “These bi**hes have absolutely lost their mind… I’m getting all my lick backs on my album tho …ON EACH ONE OF YOU BI**HES !!!” she declared, leaving little doubt that she was ready to retaliate.
Cardi continued her tirade, stating, “These bi**hes can’t see me in numbers or status, y’all had WAY too much time to catch up. Can’t see me in money, can’t see me in real estate, fashion, and CAN’T SEE ME IN PERSON either. I’m not in a rat race with none of you bi**hes!! And ima show yall.” Her words were a clear indication that she feels secure in her position in the industry and is prepared to defend it.
Despite the speculation, Ice Spice has not confirmed whether her lyrics were aimed at Cardi B. The two artists have collaborated in the past, notably on the remix of Ice Spice’s hit single “Munch (Feelin U),” but tensions seem to have surfaced since then.
The backdrop to this feud can be traced back to last year during Hot 97’s Summer Jam. Cardi B performed her collaboration with GloRilla, “Tomorrow 2,” and introduced the song by playing the theme from the classic film “Annie.” She also displayed images of a caricature of orphan Annie twerking on a giant screen, which many fans interpreted as a subtle dig at Ice Spice, who has a similar ginger-haired appearance.
In response to the backlash, Cardi B attempted to clarify her intentions. She stated, “For y’all muthaf**kas that’s on Twitter tryna be messy, please, cut the bullsh*t.” She insisted that she was not trying to throw shade and urged fans to stop making assumptions. “I don’t — that’s not me, like come on now. First of all, y’all been wanting me to be messy all things. Y’all wanted me to be messy on the song, y’all wanted me to — nah, come on now. Cut the bullsh*t, please. Get the mop. Y’all being too messy and y’all being annoying.”
The ongoing tension between Cardi B and Ice Spice has captivated fans and sparked discussions across social media platforms. As both artists continue to rise in the music industry, their rivalry adds an intriguing layer to their careers.
With Cardi B’s upcoming album promising to address these perceived slights, fans are eagerly anticipating what she has in store. The anticipation surrounding her response has only heightened interest in both artists and their respective projects.
As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how Ice Spice will respond to Cardi B’s comments and whether this feud will escalate further. For now, both artists are firmly in the spotlight, and their fans are watching closely.
