Missy Elliott is putting a stop to any potential rift between Cardi B and BIA after both rap stars sampled one of her classics … saying they’re both free to use it, without issue.
Cardi put her 2024 comeback into first gear on Friday with the release of her “Like What (Freestyle)” vid … directed by her hubby Offset.
The beat rides Missy’s 1999 hit “She’s a Bitch” … which just so happened to be the same template for BIA’s 2023 single “I’m That Bitch.”
BIA defended her own credibility in a suspicious post on X as Cardi was teasing her track … “BIA THIS… BIA THAT BIA KNOW HOW TO F***** RAP.”
The Rock Hall-bound Missy cosigned a comment that commended both artists for using her with a heart hands emoji … basically a cease-fire for weirdo fans looking to start beef.

None of this probably would’ve happened if had they taken the advice from 1500 or Nothin’s Larrance Dopson — remember, the Grammy Award-winner told us last year that low-hanging fruit samples are ruining rap music.
There are actually no losers here — for Missy and Timbaland. Any way you cut it, they get paid royalties!!!
