Key Takeaways:

• Cardi B stated dissing BIA over her album gross sales can be “overkill” and never price her power.
• BIA’s debut album, BIANCA, reportedly bought 8,000 items in its first week.
• The feud reignited with Cardi’s “Pretty & Petty” in September.

Cardi B isn’t enthusiastic about rubbing BIA’s first-week numbers in her face. On Wednesday (Oct. 22), the Bronx rapper advised followers she’s selecting to not “pick on” the Massachusetts native over BIANCA’s gross sales.

“I don’t pick on b**ches. I don’t wake up every single day like, ‘I’ma pick on this girl ‘cause I can,’” Cardi shared on X Spaces. “I just found out BIA’s numbers yesterday. I’m not going to pick on her ‘cause of that s**t. Then that’s overkill.”

BIANCA didn’t make it onto the Billboard 200 chart, and in accordance with HotNewHipHop, it bought 8,000 album-equivalent items. For comparability, Cardi’s AM I THE DRAMA? opened at No. 1 with 200,000 in gross sales. Of course, that’s not precisely a good matchup, on condition that the Grammy-winning rapper had seven years of anticipation main as much as her launch.

Notably, a equally positioned artist like Ice Spice moved 28,000 units with her debut album, Y2K! Perhaps BIA might’ve pulled larger numbers if she had taken intention at Cardi on BIANCA, however she beforehand defined that doing so would’ve been a “disservice” to the 16-track effort.

“I would be doing a disservice to myself with everything I’ve put into this album [by] making it about her,” BIA advised “The Breakfast Club” earlier this month. “There’s so much more importance to my message and what I’m here for than to rap beef.”

During the identical X Spaces session, Cardi appeared to deal with JT, who fired photographs at her on the since-removed tracks “No Hook” and “Keep Coming.” The soon-to-be mother of 4 stated, “I’ma reply to you on my time.” She continued, “It’s not because I can’t flame you. B**ch, you don’t look better than me in nothing. You can’t rap better than me. You don’t look better than me. You can’t do nothing better than me.”
