Stefon Diggs and Cardi B’s high‑profile relationship has become a source of intense public scrutiny. The pair, who confirmed their relationship publicly in 2025 and welcomed their first child together in November of that year, have faced waves of backlash from fans. Some criticism has intersected with broader legal and personal issues surrounding Diggs. In response, Cardi directly addressed critics, urging followers to “calm down” and stop dragging their romance after days of online negativity. Despite the backlash, Diggs himself has publicly acknowledged his appreciation for Cardi’s support during the Patriots’ season. Here’s what he said in a heartfelt statement.

Stefon Diggs said he’s ‘thankful’ to have Cardi B in his ‘corner’

Some fans have voiced disapproval of Cardi B’s relationship with Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, largely due to the personal and legal controversies surrounding the NFL star. Diggs has been publicly tied to a paternity lawsuit from Instagram model Aileen Lopera. After Diggs was confirmed to be the father, she requested the dismissal of her entire case. Additionally, Diggs is currently facing felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges tied to allegations from his former private chef. He and his team have denied the allegations.

Recently, Diggs spoke to reporters following a Patriots win. He mentioned how he “appreciates” Cardi’s support without going into specifics.

“I’ve gotta holler at her about one recently, but it’s cool though,” he said, as seen on X. “I just appreciate her support. She’s been an amazing supporter of me, you know, the Patriots. She wasn’t a football girl before I converted her over. But I’m just thankful to have her in my corner. She’s an amazing woman.”

Diggs noted that he plans to continue to “build” his relationship with Cardi. “You know, I don’t talk too much about my personal life, but she’s an amazing woman,” he reiterated.
