While Cardi B and Nicki Minaj likely still aren’t huge fans of each other, their beef has abated over the last couple years. Still, there are some people who like to stoke the fire—and in this case, it’s Jessie Woo.

The internet personality and Love & Hip Hop star recently touched on the two rappers’ feud on Hollywood Unlocked, saying she was “spilling tea” about the situation. 

“I met someone that was on Cardi’s team, back in 2017, and they literally told me, this is something that was told to me, that yeah, like, ‘Putting Cardi out, our goal was to knock Nicki out,’” Woo said. “And that was the first time I heard that topic. Then, not too long later, the whole Nicki and Cardi thing happened. … I remember just thinking to myself, yo, so-and-so told me this is what they were trying to do.”

Of course, Woo is referencing the height of Minaj and Cardi’s beef and its ultimate altercation at New York Fashion Week in 2018, where the two got physical at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party. When Hollywood Unlocked shared a clip from Woo’s interview, Cardi fired back, denying Woo’s claims and defending herself.

“The lies!!! I hate that I gotta address shit that is so irrelevant,” Cardi commented. “Jessie woo is the same person that I got on my dm askin me advice because she sign to my old record label and she felt like my old manager played her.”

Cardi continued, “If anybody ever told you that about another woman then why would you go and sign with them as well? No matter how stressful my 3 years of litigation when with my old managers was I know he will never say that since he a Queens nikka and the last thing in our head was another woman when we was just trying to make it which we did. And yes I got the dms!”

Cardi and Nicki’s beef seems to have died down recently, with the pair focusing on their respective careers and family life. While Nicki welcomed her first child last fall, a baby boy with Kenneth Petty, Cardi just shared the news that she’s expecting her second child with Offset.
