During a recent performance at her Little Miss Drama Tour, rapper Cardi B confirmed she and NFL star Stefon Diggs are no longer together before she came to his defense after her nemesis, BIA, appeared to ridicule him on social media. 

Cardi, 33, providing the public update on her relationship status with Diggs, 32, came after rumors swirled about the pair ending their romantic relationship. 

Cardi and BIA, who is also a rapper, have been trading shots at each other for years, and the latter appeared to reignite their feud in a social media post over the weekend. Cardi was, however, having none of BIA going after Diggs and called her out at her concert in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

“Can u name someone with more bms than receiving yards? I can! and I know that… ykwnvm,” BIA shared on social media, per TMZ.

Cardi, at her concert, had some for BIA before she performed Pretty & Petty, which is a diss track directed at her rival.

“Let me tell you somethin’, just because I ain’t f****n’ with my baby daddy doesn’t mean you get to talk about my baby daddy, b****! This for you, b****!” Cardi said.

Cardi and Diggs welcomed a baby boy in November. But for more than a week, there were rumors that the pair had split, and Cardi has all but confirmed that. 

The rumors began on February 9, when fans observed that the rapper and the NFL star had mutually unfollowed each other on Instagram. This digital rift occurred shortly after Diggs, a wide receiver for the New England Patriots, experienced his team’s heartbreaking loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the 2026 Super Bowl

Cardi was at the event, supporting Bad Bunny during his highly anticipated halftime performance, although the two were not seen interacting publicly.
