Last week Bia dropped a remix to her hit single, “Whole Lotta Money” featuring Nicki Minaj.
The track is already getting a lot of buzz, and some has even deemed it the “song of the Summer.” Surrounding the track, a few people on Twitter began to question Bia’s ethnicity, one fan tweeting “BIA’s not Black..”
“Very aware of my roots guys,” she started, replying to the tweet. “My grandparents were born in PR and migrated to NY. Puerto Rican’s come in many different colors and race is different from ethnicity OF COURSE we have tiano, African, and Latin blood. Very proud to be Afrolatina and Italian.”
