Cardi B Claps Back at Accent Critics Following Bia’s Diss Track: “This is a Multimillion Dollar Accent, Baby!”

Bia Drops Cardi B Diss Track After Being Checked Over Offset & Cheating Rumors

Cardi B is once again proving that she’s not one to stay silent—especially when it comes to defending her identity, her roots, and her signature Bronx accent. Following a not-so-subtle diss from fellow rapper Bia, who appeared to mock Cardi’s pronunciation and delivery style in a fiery new track, Cardi has delivered an equally explosive response that’s got the internet buzzing.

And her clapback? Instantly iconic.

“This is a multimillion dollar accent, baby. Don’t get it twisted.”

The Diss That Sparked It All

The drama started when Bia dropped a surprise freestyle titled “Telfar Talk,” in which she rapped the now-viral line:

“Mumble like you from the BX, but I speak like cash checks.”

Though Bia never mentioned Cardi by name, fans were quick to draw the connection—and so was Cardi herself.

Within hours, social media was ablaze with speculation, memes, and debate. Was Bia throwing shade at Cardi’s trademark delivery? Was this the start of a new rap beef—or just a cheap shot?

Cardi’s No-Holds-Barred Response

Never one to back down, Cardi B took to Instagram Live later that evening, wearing a Versace robe and full glam, to address the jab with her usual blend of sass and straight-up confidence.

“You know what’s funny? People always got something to say about how I talk, how I sound,” she said. “Meanwhile, this accent paid for my mama’s house. This accent raised my babies. This accent made me a household name.”

She then added with a smirk:

“This is a multimillion dollar accent, baby. And guess what? It still got more clarity, more character, and more clout than half these girls’ bars.”

The clip immediately went viral, amassing over 12 million views in less than 24 hours and turning Cardi’s quote into a trending meme and merchandise slogan.

Fans Rush to Cardi’s Defense

The #TeamCardi army mobilized quickly, flooding Bia’s comments with microphone and broom emojis—implying Cardi had “swept” the beef without even dropping a track.

Some notable reactions:

“If Cardi’s accent offends you, wait till you hear your bank account in comparison.”

“Cardi turned a Bronx drawl into a brand. That’s power.”

“Bia poked the bear. Now she’s going to need a whole new verse just to recover.”

Others called for Cardi to channel her energy into a new diss track, with producers already volunteering beats on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok creators remixing Cardi’s quote into music hooks.

Hip-Hop Divided?

While fans are loving the drama, some industry insiders are concerned that the public back-and-forth could deepen existing divides among female rappers at a time when many are calling for unity.

One anonymous A&R executive noted, “This kind of beef sells, no doubt. But with the spotlight finally on multiple women in rap, it’d be powerful to see collaborations—not clashes.”

Still, others argue that competition is a staple of the genre—and that Cardi’s unapologetic pride in her voice is a reminder of what hip-hop has always stood for: authenticity, grit, and owning your story.

What’s Next?

While Cardi hasn’t confirmed whether she’ll release an official track in response, her team hinted that “something spicy” might be in the works. Meanwhile, Bia has remained silent since Cardi’s clapback—no follow-up post, no apology, no clarification.

One thing is for sure: if Bia wanted attention, she got it—but Cardi’s voice, accent and all, is still the one everyone is listening to.

As Cardi herself put it before signing off her live:

“Y’all gon’ keep talkin’, but I’m still cashin’ checks in this accent. Loud and clear.”
