'It was mad to see Kim Kardashian sing along to my viral diss track'

"Back then I was just known as the Blackpool chav," says Millie Bracewell, perhaps better known as Millie B.

In 2016, when she was a teenager, she released her song M to the B, a diss track taking aim at rival Blackpool rapper Sophie Aspin.

Fast-forward to 2023 and the song's a viral sound on TikTok, used on a trend embracing "chav make-up". Even Kim Kardashian's got involved.

Some say it's offensive, but Millie says she's not taking it personally.

"Sometimes I do take things to heart but when it comes to that, I sort of embrace it," she tells BBC Newsbeat. "People are copying the way I look in that video, it's a flex really.

"Regardless of how I looked in that video, all girls have done that in the past.

"They've put heavy contour on, their eyebrows might be a bit wonky and it's sort of the look."

M to the B became a Blackpool Grime anthem and resurfaced in 2020 during lockdown.

The coastal town developed a reputation for grime music thanks to online battles between Millie B's rival Sophie Aspin and Josh Tate, better known as Little T.

Racking up millions of views online, the scene attracted the attention of Stormzy and Ed Sheeran.

"[Sophie] was doing grime music and stuff like that, I'd seen her on there and I thought I'm gonna send to this girl," says Millie about when she decided to release the song.

"If you don't know me I'm M to the B, coming in hard you better watch out Sophie," she raps.

The music video shows a heavily made-up 16-year-old Millie rapping in a supermarket and a chicken shop, dressed in sports wear with her hair in two buns.

She even makes digs at Sophie's appearance in the song, dissing her contour - "do you want me to lend you a blender":[]}
