Rapper BIA Hints At Shenseea Collab On Her Upcoming Debut Album
US rapper BIA has hinted that Jamaican starlet Shenseea may appear on her upcoming debut studio album.
Over the weekend, the Whole Lotta Money rapper tweeted photos of some studio time with New York music producer Lil Rich. In one of the shots, the producer held up a whiteboard with what appeared to be the tracklist of the “BIA Album,” but the titles were all scratched out.
Under close inspection, however, Shenseea’s name was spotted on the lower part of the board despite being partially marked out too.

Though BIA didn’t say much in the Tweet, Lil Rich re-shared the images and announced that “the album is coming.”
This will be the first full-length studio album from BIA, who is of Puerto Rican and Italian descent.
Her two previous EPs are Nice Girls Finish Last: Cuidado, and For Certain, which spawned her hit single Whole Lotta Money that was later remixed with Nicki Minaj and reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Her collab with J. Cole titled London peaked at No. 62 on the Hot 100.
Bia and Shenseea have been seen hanging out together in the past, including when the rapper sang Whole Lotta Money at the Blessed singer’s ALPHA album release party at The Stafford Room at Harbor NYC back in March.
So it doesn’t come as a huge surprise that the Jamaican star may have secured a spot on the upcoming album.

Bia is also well acquainted with a few famous faces from the islands.
Last July, she was spotted hanging out with the Unruly Boss Popcaan, and supermodel Winnie Harlow as well as the Trinidad-born Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj at a nightclub in London.
“GYAL AH TRY IT BUT IT NUH QUITE RIGHT!!!!!! 🧡💕🔥🧡💕🔥🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧,” Bia jokingly wrote in perfect patois on the IG post showing snaps of her link up. (swipe for more photos)
Shenseea last released new visuals for her single Rain with Skillibeng in late August and appeared in a few collaborations too; one with Charlie Puth on Calvin Harris’s Obsessed and also on the song Diana by Fireboy DML and Chris Brown.
Last July, Shen also appeared in the new music video for Light My Fire with Sean Paul and Gwen Steffani.
She revealed last week that fans can expect new, and “moody” music from her by the end of September or early October.
