Cardi B has directly addressed online commentary surrounding her relationship with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs, asking followers to slow down the criticism and approach her personal life with more understanding. The Grammy Award–winning rapper used her verified X account to respond after days of intense discussion centered on the couple spending Christmas Day apart. According to Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, the tone of the messages had crossed a line and became unnecessarily harsh. She emphasized that recent life changes, including welcoming a baby in November, cannot be undone and should not be treated as material for judgment or ridicule.
The discussion began after fans noticed that Diggs was not present in Cardi B’s holiday Instagram posts. Diggs later shared via his Instagram Stories that he was spending Christmas with his other children, clarifying the reason for separate celebrations without adding further commentary. Cardi B explained that the situation had been misunderstood and expressed that she needed encouragement rather than criticism during an especially demanding period of her life. She highlighted the emotional weight of juggling motherhood with professional obligations, stating that her schedule will intensify in January as she prepares for tour rehearsals that require long daily sessions.

In her social media message, Cardi B also underscored the importance of support systems, noting that fan encouragement plays a meaningful role as she prepares for extensive work commitments. She shared that the pressure of rehearsing for up to 10 to 12 hours a day has already begun to feel overwhelming, making positivity and goodwill especially important at this stage.
The child born in November is Cardi B’s first with Diggs. She is also a mother to three children from her previous marriage to rapper Offset: daughters Kulture and Blossom, and son Wave. Cardi B and Diggs confirmed their relationship publicly in May after being seen together earlier in the year, including a courtside appearance at a New York Knicks versus Boston Celtics playoff game at Madison Square Garden. All relationship details referenced have come from verified public appearances and the couple’s own social media activity.
While Cardi B removed photos of Diggs from her profile in July, she has not characterized the action as signaling a breakup. Her recent message instead focused on boundaries, respect, and mutual goodwill. The statements were shared directly by Cardi B on X, with additional context from Diggs’ verified Instagram Stories, making them the primary sources for the information discussed.
