Comment: I do suspect Millie is notable, but most of this is about M to the B rather than about Millie. -- NotCharizard 🗨 14:14, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Millie Bracwell, best known by her stage name Millie B, is a British grime artist from Blackpool. She is best known for her 2016 viral disstrack titled M to the B (Soph Aspin Send).[1]
Music career
[edit]In 2016 Bracewell uploaded a disstrack to YouTube channel BGMedia to fellow grime artist Sophie Aspin. She claims she created the diss as a "joke" rather than as a serious insult (which she made clear through the lyrics of some of her later songs). She created the song when she was 16 years old. The song's backing track is an instrumental called "Skank" by Bordum Beats.[2] The music video was filmed and originally released in December 2016,[3] then re-released in September 2020 with TikTok clips of people using the song throughout the video garnering over 20 million views.[4] The video takes place in Blackpool, with scenes filmed at a local KFC and a Lidl supermarket.
It gained prominence after American social media personality, Bella Poarch, created a TikTok video of herself lip synching to the song in August 2020. The video was viewed more than 500 million times, making it one of the platform's most popular videos and the top video for 2020.[5]As of 2025, Bella Poarch's video was the most liked video on TikTok and the fifth most popular, with more than 800 million views.[6] In 2020 American media personality Kim Kardashian also created a TikTok video of herself dressing up as Bracewell and lip syncing to her song.[7][8]
The song became number one on the Spotify chart in the UK in 2020, thanks to the spread on TikTok. It was also number five on the worldwide Spotify chart. The song had been used in almost 7 million TikToks in 2020.[9] The song, along with other viral TikTok songs, were part of the 2022 album TikTok Classics, where viral TikTok songs were re-recorded by the Babelsberg Film Orchestra of Germany.[10]
In 2022 Bracewell began releasing new music with various singles such as M to the Bs Back Now,[11] Meant to Bee,[12] Always Bee My Reason[13] and in 2024 she collaborated with Tango releasing a song titled Tango Blast.[14]
