Cash Gotti is apparently not the biggest fan of BIA, claiming their history includes the “Whole Lotta Money” artist and her boyfriend stiffing his friend on rent.
During a recent appearance on the Choose What The Future Brings podcast, the Massachusetts native broke down his version of events. In addition to allegedly not paying their rent and getting evicted, Gotti said BIA also spread lies about him in the process.

“Her and her man was staying at my man’s crib in Hollywood,” Gotti began. “Penthouse – cost 6500 a month, you feel me? I guess homie was already living there for like six months or whatever. He was doing his thing, paying his money or whatever. Nobody knew she was living with this n-gga. This n-gga stopped paying rent for like two and a half months.
“My mans call me like, ‘This n-gga in my crib not tryna leave, not tryna pay the rent. And he talking on gangsta timing.’ Who gets tough with their landlord?” he continued.”Like, ‘I ain’t going nowhere, you gon’ have to drag me out’ – that type of shit. Shorty and her man got evicted; had to get out of there.”
“They were supposed to vacate the premises. Next day, I’m getting a whole bunch of calls. ‘Why is n-ggas saying you robbed this girl?’ Long story short, she running around with my name in her mouth talking like oh, I did all types of different things when you wasn’t paying your rent.”

One rapper who has quite the opposite feelings about BIA is J. Cole. He joined the Epic Records signee on her single “London” earlier this year after being “blown away” the first time he heard the song.
“I damn near didn’t even wanna put this clip up cuz I need everybody to hear this shit PURE. How I heard it!” he said on Instagram. “I Asked BIA to come through the studio for some whole other shit. First time meeting her. We chop it up. She plays me this new song she had just did. Mannnnnnn. in that moment I was blown away.”
He continued: “I thought about this song for a month straight, it was my favorite song and I only heard it one time. She hit me recently and sent me the song (she musta knew I wanted to hear it again!!!) and I was just grateful to have it in my possession.”
Despite being “genuinely nervous” to add a verse to an already-great song, Cole was pleased that he ultimately “ended up catching the right wave.”

The track is produced by AzizTheShake, Jon Glass and Tim. Staying true to the London theme of the song, J. Cole frequently adopts a British accent and incorporates various UK references and slang throughout his guest verse. He and BIA also performed the song together in London at last summer’s Wireless Festival.
