Cardi B has once again proven she knows when to speak and when to stay silent. After dropping her long-awaited sophomore album Am I THE DRAMA?, the Bronx superstar addressed the latest developments involving her rivals BIA and JT.
On her new project, Cardi aimed direct shots at both artists. JT caught heat on “Magnet,” while BIA was the target of “Pretty & Petty.” Both tracks reignited simmering feuds that have been brewing online for months. BIA, who released her debut album BIANCA on October 10, saw the project underperform with just 8,000 first-week sales, failing to appear on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, JT fired back at Cardi with two diss records — “No Hook” and “Keep Coming” — released on October 4.
Despite having every reason to clap back immediately, Cardi B told fans she’s not rushing anything this time. Speaking in an audio clip shared by Live Bitez, she said she plans to respond on her own time. “I’m going to reply to you on my time,” she explained. “I’m gonna let you think you have that. But it’s not because I can’t flame you — b*tch, you don’t look better than me in nothing.”
Cardi B also acknowledged that BIA’s album flop would be an easy target but called attacking her now “overkill.” Instead, she’s taking a strategic pause, letting both rivals have their moment while preparing for her next move. Fans believe her upcoming “Pretty & Petty” music video could mark the next chapter in the feud, as Cardi teased its release shortly after BIA’s album dropped.
While the rap world keeps buzzing about the drama, one thing is clear: Cardi B knows how to control the narrative. By holding back, she’s building anticipation — and when she finally fires back, it’ll be on her own terms.
