Cardi B pushed back forcefully this week against online speculation surrounding her personal life, addressing the claims during an X Spaces livestream hosted by Complex. The comments stemmed from remarks made by Love and Hip Hop: Miami personality Jesse Woo, who suggested Cardi’s decision to have a child with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs was driven by resentment toward her former husband, Offset. The allegation circulated quickly online, drawing a sharp response from the rapper.
Cardi dismissed the accusation as both illogical and insulting. “A revenge baby? What does that even mean? Do you believe I would plan to have a child just out of spite? For whom? My ex-husband? Absolutely not!” she said. Framing the moment as emblematic of a broader pattern, she described her life as one shaped by autonomy rather than grievance. “Every aspect of my life reflects my resilience and success. My career, my finances – that in itself is a form of revenge. Simply living and thriving is my definition of overcoming challenges.”
She later shifted the focus to motherhood itself, describing the decision as deeply personal and rooted in affection. “The reason I chose to have my baby is love and nothing else. My partner and I brought this new life into the world out of pure affection, not revenge. This bond is ours,” Cardi said. Her remarks drew a clear boundary between lived experience and online conjecture.

Addressing Woo directly, Cardi expressed frustration with what she characterized as a pattern of provocation. “Jessie Woo is just attempting to stir the pot. You’ve repeatedly spread falsehoods, and I’m done with it. Why should I feel the need to keep someone in line to ensure they stay with me?” she said. The moment marked the most pointed exchange of the livestream.
She concluded by reflecting on the seriousness of motherhood and the way it is often trivialized in public discourse. “To think that bringing life into the world is akin to picking up a puppy is absurd. This is not a trivial matter. It’s a profound experience, one you don’t understand unless you’ve lived it. There’s something deeply sacred about the choice to become a mother, and it shouldn’t be belittled.”
After separating from Offset, Cardi entered a relationship with Stefon Diggs that quickly became a subject of public interest. The couple later announced the birth of their first child together, a milestone that brought both celebration and scrutiny. That attention intensified after Diggs faced legal allegations last month, including a felony strangulation charge and a misdemeanor assault charge, both of which he has denied. At the time, Cardi publicly defended him in a now-deleted post on X, writing, “Never has she accused him of any harm towards me! Not once!”
