Cardi B kicked off her "Little Miss Drama Tour" with a bang on February 11th in Palm Desert, California. In a performance that left fans buzzing, she delivered her diss track "Pretty & Petty" with an unforgettable twist. During the song, Cardi boldly paused after the opening line, "Name five Bia songs, gun pointing to your head," leaving the crowd in suspense before humorously adding, "Bow! I'm dead." This pause, coupled with her dancers dramatically falling to the ground after a sound effect, had the audience roaring with excitement.
The performance quickly drew comparisons to Beyoncé's iconic "mute challenge" from her "Renaissance" era concerts, where she paused during "Energy" to let the crowd hold their breath. Fans were quick to point out the similarities on social media, with many praising Cardi B for her theatrical flair. Even Cardi herself had previously participated in Beyoncé's challenge during the 2023 concert film "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé."
“Name five Bia songs, gun pointing to your head. Bow! I'm dead.”
The tension between Cardi B and BIA isn't new. It all started when both artists sampled Missy Elliot's hit "She's a (Expletive)," with BIA dropping her version first. This sparked a series of online spats, with fans drawing comparisons between the two. The feud escalated into subliminal shots in their music, intensifying the rivalry.
BIA didn't stay silent after Cardi's tour antics. On February 12th, she took to social media with a cryptic message: "Can u name someone with more bms than receiving yards? I can! and I know that… ykwnvm." This seemed to be a jab at Cardi's relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs, who recently lost the Super Bowl. The "Whole Lotta Money" rapper's comment added more fuel to the ongoing saga.
