00:00 Why does everybody's mom always ask them,
00:01 "Who's feeding you?"
00:03 Girl, me.
00:04 That's the problem.
00:05 With T, it's Bia, and this is Billboard News.
00:08 Hey, everybody, this is Nina Rohani with Billboard News,
00:20 and we are here with Bia.
00:22 With T.

00:34 So, Bia, tell me a little bit about
00:36 the kind of 2020 that you've been having.
00:38 What have you been up to?
00:39 Oh, it's been so busy.
00:41 Literally, so many shows,
00:43 trying to record in the midst of the shows
00:45 and keep the creative going.
00:46 And also, I've started a lot of business ventures.
00:50 Talk to me about your makeup line a little bit.
00:52 Well, I'm a girl's girl, of course.
00:53 I love makeup.
00:55 I just love glam, I love beauty.
00:56 I just wanted to implement all the things
00:58 that I use for beauty
01:00 and put them into my everyday routine.
01:02 Make them easy for everyday people
01:04 to get glam every single day.
01:06 What's your favorite product?
01:07 I would say the Cabo Romo lip gloss.
01:10 Mm-hmm.
01:11 That lip gloss just looks like just wet lips.
01:14 Ah, I love that.
01:15 Obviously, you're very into fashion.
01:17 We always see what you're wearing.
01:19 In this amazing picture, I love what you're wearing.
01:21 Thank you.
01:22 You recently worked with Savage by Fenty.
01:26 Mm-hmm.
01:27 So, tell me about that experience.
01:29 Oh, that was amazing.
01:31 You know, I'm a big fan of Rihanna.
01:32 I love her and just everything she stands for.
01:34 So, when she asked me to open the show,
01:36 it was for my song "Cover Girl."
01:38 ♪ Maybelline cover girl for certain ♪
01:41 ♪ And my body on point ♪
01:42 ♪ They be like, "Who's your surgeon?" ♪
01:44 And I just felt like that song
01:45 represents just women as a whole.
01:47 So, it was just a beautiful moment.
01:49 And I love lingerie.
01:50 I love getting sexy.
01:52 I love having, like, girly moments.
01:53 So, it was perfect.
01:55 So, let's talk a little bit about music.
01:57 You recently had "I'm That Bitch" with Timbaland.
02:00 Yes.
02:01 Which was super, super great.
02:02 I love that track.
02:03 I wanna know, like, what was it like working with him?
02:06 Like, this person who's just been, like,
02:08 on top of the game for decades.
02:10 Timbaland is so legendary.
02:12 Like, he dropped so many gems.
02:14 And to just be in the same room with somebody like that
02:16 who has that type of catalog,
02:17 you could just learn from them.
02:19 I love learning from people that have done it before me.
02:22 And just taking whatever advice they give me,
02:24 whatever gems, they help me make the best song I can.
02:27 So, it was a moment.
02:29 Yeah.
02:30 I wanna do it over and over again.
02:31 It's just crazy to think, like,
02:32 he made some of Aaliyah's best music
02:35 and was in the room with these, like,
02:36 just, like, actors. Right.
02:37 Being around them must have been, like...
02:39 Yeah, euphoric.
02:40 Aaliyah's actually, like,
02:41 one of my favorite artists of all time.
02:42 So, to even be in the room with him,
02:45 just see, like, what he thinks about my music
02:47 I got to play in my album.
02:48 And my project.
02:50 And he loved it.
02:51 So, it was a moment.
02:52 It's literally so surreal.
02:53 All the people I look up to the most
02:55 have always just embraced me,
02:57 shown me so much love,
02:58 and helped me become the artist that I am today.
03:01 So, I feel blessed to be here, for real.
03:04 Me and Bustiz did this song months ago.
03:11 He called me up.
03:12 He's like, "Listen, Bia, I got this song.
03:13 Like, you gotta do this part.
03:16 Like, it's only your voice gotta do this part."
03:18 So, I went to the studio right away.
03:19 I did it.
03:20 And, like, it's Hip Hop 50 this year.
03:27 Yes!
03:28 Oh my...
03:29 And to perform with Busta during the Hip Hop 50,
03:31 like, this is crazy.
03:33 It's nuts.
03:34 It's unreal.
03:35 I will say one thing that I miss
03:37 that I have not had in a while
03:40 is Spanish, Bia.
03:44 ♪ Esco frÃo, I'm with Kola ♪
03:45 ♪ Who I'm coming? ♪
03:46 ♪ Mentirosa, el palomo no me joda ♪
03:49 It's so funny you say that
03:50 because I just recorded a cute song the other day
03:53 and the whole second verse was in Spanish.
03:55 No way.
03:56 I'm not sure where it's gonna live yet,
03:58 but I do have some Latin,
04:02 little razzle dazzle on my project.
04:04 We love a Latin razzle dazzle.
04:06 Yeah, I love...
04:07 You'll get something.
04:08 You'll always get a little Latin razzle dazzle with me.
04:10 Is there any Latin artist
04:12 that you're like, "Ugh, I would love to work with them"?
04:15 Yes, I love RosalÃa and I love Tokisha.
04:18 Oh my God.
04:19 Those are my girls.
04:20 Yeah, Anita too.
04:21 Like, I have something cute coming with Anita.
04:24 And that's my girl.
04:25 I love her so much.
04:26 Coming soon soon?
04:27 Soon soon.
04:28 Thank you so much.
04:29 Thank you, Bia, for being here with us.
04:30 Thank you for having me.
04:31 We really enjoyed it.
04:31 I appreciate you.
04:32 (upbeat music)
