Career

2014–2015: Career beginnings and #CholaSeason

Bia was initially discovered by rapper Fam-Lay through YouTube and who later introduced her to Pharrell. [1] [10] Bia starred on the first two seasons of the Oxygen reality television series Sisterhood of Hip Hop . In 2014, she signed to the I Am Other music label as part of a collaboration with RCA Records and began working with T.I as well as singers Jennifer Hudson and Usher. [6] [7] Later that year, Bia released a mixtape entitled #CholaSeason. In an interview with radio station Hot 97's morning show Ebro in the Morning in September 2015, she revealed that she would not return for season 3 of Sisterhood of Hip Hop. [6]

[37] Following viral success on the social media platform TikTok, the song was serviced to Rhythmic radio on May 18, 2021, becoming the fifth single from the EP. A remix featuring Nicki Minaj was released on July 9, 2021, and caused the song to reach a peak of number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Bia's highest-charting song.
