New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs publicly expressed gratitude for the support of rapper Cardi B ahead of the AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos, highlighting her influence both on and off the field. In media remarks leading up to the January 25, 2026 matchup, Diggs described Cardi B as “an amazing woman” and said he was “thankful to have her in my corner,” noting she has embraced supporting him and the Patriots despite not being a football fan before their relationship.

Diggs’ comments come amid a postseason in which Cardi B has been a visible and vocal presence for the team, including viral social media support following New England’s upset win over the Houston Texans in the divisional round. Diggs acknowledged converting her into a football fan and appreciated her enthusiastic encouragement during press engagements this week.

The couple, who confirmed their relationship publicly in 2025 and welcomed their first child together in November 2025, have drawn widespread attention for their dynamic both on social media and at games. Cardi B’s support has included attending games in VIP suites and rallying Patriots fans after key victories, contributing to the narrative surrounding Diggs’ leadership and the team’s unexpected playoff run.

Diggs’ remarks also arrived against the backdrop of ongoing legal matters, with the wide receiver recently having a paternity lawsuit resolved, and he is focused on the Patriots’ championship aspirations. His emphasis on Cardi B’s backing underscores the role she has played in his personal life during a pivotal moment in his career.
