Cardi B is letting off some steam.

In a Spaces session on X on Monday, Jan. 5, the “I Like It” rapper went off on a fan who allegedly suggested she get off social media and “act like a celebrity,” according to a fan recording of the session.

In the recording, Cardi, 33, can be heard saying, “I gotta express myself.”

“When I express myself, I feel way much motherf—ing better,” she added. “The f—? Let me cope, bitch. The f—? Are you this motherf—ing famous, bitch? Talk to me when you this motherf—ing famous, bitch.”

Cardi (born Belcalis Almánzar) then told listeners that when they have “this type of motherf—ing fame” and “money,” then they could “talk to me.”

“Don’t tell me how to motherf—ing feel,” she concluded. “The f—? Bitch, you ain’t in my motherf—ing shoes.”

The Spaces session happened days after she addressed the hate she’s been getting about her relationship with Stefon Diggs in a lengthy X video on Dec. 29.

“Y’all need to calm down,” she said. “Is y’all cool? Y’all been dragging me for three or four days and y’all been a little bit too mean. Like alright now. Y’all being a little bit too mean.”

“I can’t change s—,” Cardi continued. “I can’t go back in time. I already had a baby. Y’all want me to put my baby back in my p—-? Huh? I don’t know what y’all want me to do. Y’all want me to leave my man and f— yours?”

The only option is to “go forward now,” she added.

One day after Cardi posted the video, Diggs, 32, was accused of assaulting his female chef and subsequently arrested. According to a copy of a police report, which was obtained by PEOPLE, Diggs is accused of slapping and then choking the woman at his Massachusetts home on the night of Dec. 2.

The New England Patriots receiver is facing a felony charge of strangulation and a misdemeanor charge of assault. He’s due to appear in Dedham District Court to be arraigned on these charges on Jan. 23. However, his attorney David Meier told PEOPLE he “categorically denies the allegations.”

“They are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, and were never investigated — because they did not occur. The timing and motivation for making the allegations is crystal clear: they are the direct result of an employee-employer financial dispute that was not resolved to the employee’s satisfaction,” he said.

Diggs and Cardi welcomed their first baby together, a boy, in November. At the time, Cardi’s rep told PEOPLE that she was “healthy and happy.”

Elsewhere in her Dec. 29 video, Cardi said she has “so much work to do once January starts, that is stressing me out.”

“I need my support system, my fans, to love me,” she said. “I want you to come to my tour and enjoy yourself with me. Don’t be dragging me. It’s enough, alright, it’s enough.”
