Cardi B Confirms Relationship End with NFL Star Stefon Diggs
Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B has publicly confirmed her separation from New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, ending months of swirling speculation. The announcement came during an explosive moment at her Little Miss Drama Tour performance in Los Angeles on Sunday night, where the artist addressed both the breakup and recent criticism aimed at her former partner.
Onstage Confirmation and Fiery Defense
In a video captured by concert attendees and shared online, Cardi B delivered a powerful statement about her changed relationship status with the NFL star. "Let me tell you something, just because I ain't f***ing with my baby daddy doesn't mean you get to talk about my baby daddy, b****!" the 33-year-old artist declared from the stage. She followed this proclamation with a performance of her diss track 'Pretty & Petty,' directing the lyrics toward her rap rival BIA.
The dramatic onstage moment served as both relationship confirmation and defensive maneuver. Cardi B made clear that despite the personal separation, she remains protective of Diggs against external criticism. This fiery response appeared to be triggered by BIA's recent social media post that referenced Diggs's complicated family situation, suggesting the football player has more children than receiving yards.
Relationship Timeline and Super Bowl Tensions
The couple's relationship became public knowledge in May when they were photographed together courtside at a New York Knicks basketball game. Their romance appeared to progress quickly, with Cardi B giving birth to their son in November 2025, just months after they confirmed their relationship publicly.
However, signs of trouble emerged around Super Bowl LX, where Diggs's Patriots suffered a 29-13 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. Cardi B raised eyebrows with her noticeably frosty pregame interaction when approached by an ESPN reporter. Asked to share an inspiring message for Diggs, the rapper offered only a curt "Good luck" before walking away without further comment.
Following the Super Bowl, speculation intensified when Cardi B shared Instagram content from the game day experience that conspicuously omitted any mention of Diggs or his team's performance. Instead, she highlighted her surprise appearance during Bad Bunny's halftime show, further fueling breakup rumors that have now been confirmed.
Complicated Family Dynamics
The separation comes during a particularly turbulent period for Diggs on a personal level. The wide receiver has experienced significant family expansion throughout 2025, welcoming multiple children with different women:
- Daughter Charliee Harper with Aileen Lopera in April
- Two additional children with other women
- Son with Cardi B born in November
Legal complications have accompanied this family expansion, with Lopera recently dropping a paternity and child support lawsuit against Diggs after DNA testing confirmed his fatherhood. The receiver has since acknowledged this child's status publicly.
For Cardi B, this relationship represents her first public partnership since filing for divorce from rapper Offset in July 2024. She shares three children with her former husband: seven-year-old Kulture, four-year-old Wave, and one-year-old Blossom.
Artistic Response to Personal Matters
The concert moment demonstrates how Cardi B continues to blend her personal life with her artistic expression. By addressing the breakup directly during her performance and defending Diggs against BIA's criticism, she transformed personal drama into public spectacle. This approach mirrors her handling of previous relationship challenges, where private matters frequently become incorporated into her musical narrative and public persona.
The rapper's decision to confirm the separation during a concert rather than through traditional media channels reflects her direct connection with fans and preference for controlling her own narrative. As both artists navigate their post-relationship dynamics, this public confirmation provides clarity after months of speculation while establishing boundaries regarding how others may discuss their former partner.
