Rapper Cardi B is urging her fans to stop “dragging” her over her relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs and their newborn son, saying she can’t change the past and urging followers to “calm down” amid criticism online. In a video posted to social media, Cardi reacted to ongoing comments about her decision to be with Diggs and have a child with him, telling fans they’ve been “a little bit too mean” and emphasizing that she “can’t go back in time” after welcoming their son in November 2025. She said she needs support from her fans as she prepares for an upcoming tour and navigates her busy schedule.

Recent appearances show Cardi B publicly supporting Diggs at NFL events, including a December 28, 2025 outing at the New York Jets vs. New England Patriots game where she wore a Barbie-inspired outfit and high-end accessories while cheering him on from the stands. The couple’s son, born in November, marked Cardi’s fourth child and her first with Diggs, while she also co-parents three older children with her estranged husband Offset.

Over the Christmas holiday, Cardi and Diggs reportedly spent the day apart due to blended family logistics, with Cardi celebrating with their newborn and Diggs spending time with his other children. A close friend clarified that the separation was due to co-parenting responsibilities rather than relationship trouble and stressed that the pair remain together.

Cardi’s plea to fans comes amid wider online chatter about her personal life and relationships, with some commentary focusing on Diggs’ role as a father to children with multiple partners, though supporters have defended the couple’s choices and emphasized the complexities of blended family dynamics.
