Jessie Woo has fired back at Cardi B in an explosive livestream response after the rapper accused her of spreading claims that she had a “revenge baby.”

The back-and-forth stems from a heated X Spaces livestream Cardi hosted on Monday, January 5, during which she angrily denied allegations about the birth of her newborn son with NFL star Stefon Diggs. During that rant, Cardi singled out Jessie Woo by name, calling her “another hating ass bitch” and accusing her of lying and pushing false narratives.

In response, Jessie Woo went live on YouTube and did not hold back, opening her stream with a direct and deeply personal attack on the rapper.

“Cardi B, you are a gaslighting, illiterate nincompoop,” Woo began. “And before you even think of responding to this, I want you to spell those words with no hesitation. And I also want you to tell me the meaning.”

Woo went on to claim, framing it as her opinion, that Cardi may have an undiagnosed learning disability.

“I feel like you have some sort of learning disability. I feel like you have aphasia or something,” she said. “But we know with all the money that you have, you’ll never actually put that money towards confirming whether or not you do have a learning disability and correcting it. That’s how much of a ninkham poop you are.”

Before replaying clips from Cardi’s Spaces rant, Woo attempted to clarify the source of the controversy, insisting she never personally accused Cardi of having a “revenge baby.” Instead, she was only reading viewer comments.

“I never said anything about your child. I never said anything about you keeping your child, not keeping your child,” Woo said. “I was on live, people were placing their comments… Sometimes the Super Chats are coming in so fast that I don’t pre-read. Those were not my original thoughts that you’re going around saying that they were.”

Woo then played back Cardi’s Spaces rant.

“A revenge on what? On who?” Cardi said during the stream. “Why would I be like, ‘Hey, I’m going to have a baby because I’m going to have revenge’? On my ex-husband? I don’t need to have a baby for revenge. My whole life is 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.”

After replaying the clip, Woo doubled down, accusing Cardi of deflecting from what she says was the real issue — assault allegations against the rapper's boyfriend, NFL star Stefon Diggs.

“Not once in my life did I say anything about you creating a publicity stunt. I never talked about your parenting skills,” Woo said. “I was talking strictly about when you used your platform to out the chef who has an active case against Stefon Diggs… You were using your platform to bully a victim of assault.”

Woo continued, “You’re not my bully. You’re not my bully. Let me make myself very clear. You are not my bully.”

She also criticized Cardi for what she described as excessive use of social media platforms to shape narratives.

“You have a dangerous parasocial relationship with the internet,” Woo said. “You literally went on Twitter Spaces less than an hour after that live was published.”

The conflict adds to a years-long tension between the two women that dates back to 2021, when Woo claimed that someone from Cardi’s former team made violent remarks about Nicki Minaj, an allegation Cardi has repeatedly denied.
