Cardi B Confirms Breakup with Patriots WR Stefon Diggs, But Still Defends Him on Stage
The rumors had been swirling for over a week, and now Cardi B has officially put them to rest. The Grammy-winning rapper confirmed during her Los Angeles show that she and New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs have split.
The breakup buzz really caught fire after Diggs posted a cryptic message on Instagram shortly after the Patriots’ Super Bowl 60 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Fans also noticed that both Cardi and Diggs had unfollowed each other on Instagram-never a subtle move in the age of social media sleuthing.
But on Sunday night, Cardi B gave fans a direct update from the stage of her Little Miss Drama Tour. While addressing a shot fired by her longtime rival Bia, Cardi made it clear she’s no longer with Diggs-but also that she’s not about to let anyone trash him.
“Just because I ain’t f**king with my baby daddy doesn’t mean you get to talk about my baby daddy, b*tch!” she said, before launching into her track “Pretty & Petty.” The crowd erupted, and the message was loud and clear: the relationship might be over, but she’s not here for any disrespect toward Diggs.
The jab from Bia that sparked the response? A not-so-subtle tweet that read:
*“Can u name someone with more bms than receiving yards? I can!
and I know that… ykwnvm 😂😂😂”*
Cardi’s reply wasn’t just a clapback-it was a reminder that even post-breakup, loyalty can still run deep.
As for Diggs, he’s coming off a season that proved he’s still got plenty left in the tank. After signing a three-year, $63.5 million deal with New England last offseason-a move that raised some eyebrows given his age (32) and recent ACL injury-Diggs responded with a resurgent campaign. He hauled in 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, becoming the first Patriots receiver to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark since 2019.
More than just the numbers, Diggs was a stabilizing force for second-year quarterback Drake Maye. In a season where the Patriots lacked top-tier depth at wide receiver, Diggs became Maye’s go-to guy, showing why New England was willing to make that investment.
So while the off-field headlines may be buzzing with breakup drama, on the field, Diggs continues to be a major asset for a Patriots team looking to build around its young quarterback. And if his connection with Maye keeps trending upward, expect Diggs to remain the centerpiece of New England’s passing attack next season.
The relationship with Cardi B may be over, but if Sunday night’s comments are any indication, the respect isn’t.
