Cardi B Delays “Pretty & Petty” Video Release, Prioritizing BIA’s Album Day Peace

Superstar rapper Cardi B is exhibiting unexpected restraint, revealing she's holding back on releasing the music video for her BIA diss track, “Pretty & Petty.” The decision, as explained during a recent livestream, stems from a surprisingly empathetic place: consideration for BIA's stress following her new album drop.

Empathy in the Rap Game: Cardi B, who released her own project Am I The Drama? in September, acknowledged the immense pressure of an album rollout. BIA's new album, Bianca, just hit the streets on Friday, October 10th. The Bronx rapper stated, “I know how stressful it is to put an album out and I know how fed up you be in the mind when you put an album out and st.”*

Avoiding the “Bully” Label: To avoid adding to BIA's release-day stress, Cardi is intentionally pausing the visual release. “So I feel like if I do a video to ‘Pretty & Petty as Fk’ this week or today, I feel like I would be bullying. I don’t wanna feel like a bully. Because when I bully, then God takes from me,”** she explained to fans.

A Moment of Peace for BIA: Cardi declared her intention to let BIA enjoy her album day unbothered, stating, “If the bh ain’t messing with me and she didn’t sub me in her fking dusty a* album, I’m not gonna do a video… on a day that I know she’s stressed.”** She added a more spiritual note, “Because then God will punish me… I’mma be nice to you because it’s your album day. I don’t wanna add to your stress. I’m not that bad person that people think I am.”

Tension Context: This moment of grace comes shortly after escalating public tension. Cardi’s comments follow BIA's recent Hot 97 interview, where BIA claimed the friction began when fans compared her Really Her project to Cardi’s “Enough (Miami).” Cardi B previously responded on X Spaces with sharp criticism, claiming BIA was “not interesting enough,” “not creative,” and that her “music is boring.”
