BIA Offers Doja Cat An Apology After Years Of Rumored Tension

What could have sparked a fresh round of rap beef ended in an unexpected olive branch this week. The tension between Doja Cat and BIA, which has simmered under the surface for years, appears to have been permanently extinguished following a series of public interactions.

The reconciliation began during a livestream where Doja Cat was heard playing BIA’s recent collaboration with Fred again.. and offering high praise for the track. Despite fans in the comments trying to remind Doja of past insults BIA had allegedly directed at her, the Grammy winner shut the negativity down immediately.

Moving Past High School Drama

Doja Cat made it clear she has no interest in litigating old social media spats. She described BIA’s recent work as "so f*cking nasty" and dismissed the instigators by stating, “I don’t give a f*ck about that. I’m not in high school. I’m a 30-year-old woman.”

BIA was quick to respond once the clip of Doja’s praise went viral. Taking to X, the Boston-born rapper offered a rare and direct apology for her past behavior, acknowledging that she had indeed been "shady" in the past.

“THANK YOU @DojaCat,” BIA posted to her followers. “I genuinely apologize for anything i ever said that was shady. I appreciate u playing my songs. I’ve always liked your music as well. Wishing you nothing but peace love and blessings.”

A Long History Resolved

The friction between the two artists dates back to at least 2020, around the time they both featured on the remix of Cousin Stizz’s track “Perfect.” While specific receipts of the fallout have become blurred over time, the competitive nature of the industry often kept them at odds in fan discussions.

Doja Cat accepted the apology with a simple and gracious reply, telling BIA, “No worries hope you’re having a good day.” This peaceful resolution stands in stark contrast to BIA’s ongoing and highly publicized friction with Cardi B.

For fans of South African hip-hop and global rap culture alike, this moment serves as a rare example of artists choosing mature discourse over the typical cycle of diss tracks and social media warfare.
