The long-simmering tension between rapper Cardi B and commentator Jessie Woo has exploded online, with both trading brutal insults. It’s a drama that started with an allegation that Cardi B and Stefon Diggs’ son was a revenge baby and escalated into a full-blown character assault.
The latest explosion occurred during a heated X Spaces livestream on January 5, where Cardi singled out Jessie Woo by name, labeling her a “hating ass bitch” and accusing her of manufacturing a toxic claim about her newborn son. According to Cardi, Jessie Woo was pushing a narrative that she had a “revenge baby” with Diggs to intentionally hurt her ex-husband, Offset.
Cardi’s response was visceral and unflinching. “Why, what is a revenge baby?” she demanded on the stream. “Do you think that i’ll be like hey i’m gonna have a baby, Because i’m gonna have revenge on what b*ch, on my ex-husband?” She dismissed the notion with the force of her entire career trajectory. “My whole life is a mf Revenge. My money is revenge. My career is revenge. My album is revenge, Me not dying over a n**a is revenge. Me having freedom is revenge. Shut tf up.”
But Jessie Woo was not about to be silenced. She fired back with a detailed rebuttal on her YouTube platform. Jessie opened her stream with a scalding, personal attack that went viral immediately. “Cardi B, you are a gaslighting, illiterate nincompoop,” she declared. She challenged Cardi to spell and define those very words, suggesting the megastar might be grappling with an undiagnosed learning disability.
Jessie Woo insisted her role had been misrepresented. She claimed she never personally accused Cardi of a “revenge baby,” but was merely reacting to and reading comments from her own viewers during a previous stream. The real issue, Woo argued, was being dangerously overshadowed. She accused Cardi of using her immense platform to intimidate and deflect, specifically pointing to the serious assault allegations made by chef Mila Adams against Stefon Diggs. Mila Adams is currently suing Diggs for alleged strangulation.
“Not only did Belcalis use her platform to intimidate a woman currently suing her child’s father for alleged str*ngulation,” Woo stated, “but she followed this up by using her platform to bųlly me by lying on me.” For Woo, this clash was about more than gossip; it was about accountability and the power dynamics of fame.
This spat is not an isolated incident. It pulls threads from a tangled history between the two women that dates back to at least 2021. Back then, Jessie Woo alleged that someone from Cardi’s camp had made violent threats concerning Nicki Minaj, a claim Cardi has consistently denied. That old friction provided the kindling for this new, much larger fire.
Is this a case of malicious gossip and personal insults spiraling out of control?
