Sometimes, poets and singers talking to a women as she is a man when they are flirting her ( as a kind of flirtation), but that is only in poems and songs; in daily life we do not do that

We sometimes use “habibi” when we’re talking about female
But we can’t do the same about habibti for men
Like
-لا حبيبي تسلمي
But she/he is actually talking to a girl

As @Genv33 said .We sometimes use habibi for female but it is only used like that in dialect .In MSA it would be incorrect if you said habibi for female
