Stefon Diggs Sets the Record Straight: No Hate for Cardi B
The world of professional sports and celebrity romance is rarely quiet, but Stefon Diggs recently found himself at the center of a social media storm. The All-Pro receiver took to Instagram to fiercely deny a viral claim suggesting he had called his ex-girlfriend, global superstar Cardi B, his “worst decision.”
The drama began when EntertainmentSA, a South African media outlet, shared a screenshot of an alleged Instagram Story from Diggs. In the post, the athlete supposedly lamented his relationship with the rapper, claiming it brought “bad luck” to his life, business, and endorsements. However, Diggs was quick to label the screenshot a complete fabrication.
“lol I would never say no goofy ass s–t like this,” Diggs commented. “Nor would I speak on the mother of my kid like that, stop lying to the internet for clicks.”
A Rollercoaster Romance: From Instagram Official to Split
The relationship between the NFL star and the “Magnet” rapper has been a subject of intense public fascination. Here is a quick timeline of their high-profile pairing:
- June: The couple made their relationship Instagram official.
- February: The pair reportedly split shortly before Super Bowl 2026.
- Post-Super Bowl: Cardi B publicly distanced herself from Diggs during a concert in Los Angeles.

Career Turmoil: The New England Patriots Exit
While his personal life grabbed headlines, Diggs’ professional career has seen equally volatile shifts. Despite signing a massive three-year, $69 million contract, the four-time Pro Bowler was released by the New England Patriots in March.
Statistically, Diggs remained a force on the field in 2025, tallying 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns. However, reports from the NFL Network suggest that his release was primarily a financial decision by the organization.
Legal Battles Looming
Adding to the complexity of his current situation, Stefon Diggs is facing serious legal challenges. He has pleaded not guilty to felony strangulation charges stemming from an alleged dispute with his former chef in Dedham, Massachusetts. The prosecution alleges a violent encounter occurred in December, though Diggs maintains his innocence.
With his trial scheduled to begin on Monday, May 4, the receiver is navigating one of the most challenging periods of his life, balancing a quest for a new NFL home with high-stakes legal proceedings.
Stay tuned for more updates on Stefon Diggs’ legal outcome and where he might land for the upcoming NFL season.
