Cardi B is siding with her boyfriend Stefon Diggs and similarly reiterating that he’s innocent after the NFL star’s former personal chef accused him of assault.
Per TMZ, Cardi, 33, took to social media on Monday to claim that Diggs, who has since been charged in connection with the incident, was initially not accused of assault by his former chef.
The Am I the Drama? rapper came to the defense of Diggs when a user on X made mention of the allegations brought against him. Diggs’ former chef claimed that he choked and slapped her during a disagreement over salary payment in December.

But Cardi denied the allegations and stated that she has the evidence to vindicate her 32-year-old boyfriend, whom she shares a son with.
“Not once has that woman said anything to me about being touched.. NOT ONCE!!,” Cardi wrote. She also claimed that Diggs’ former chef sent her a text, and she posted it on the social media platform, though the reason behind the message in question could not be established.
“Mind you, we was talking every single day until she left that house and she JUST wrote me this.. but I’m gonna let the courts handle s*** and when it gets handled I want all yall talkin s*** on your f***in knees with apologies just as loud the way yall been harassing over a lie… and I put that on my two month old son in the name of the lord!! That’s how confident I am,” she wrote, per TMZ.
Cardi, however, later took down her post without providing a reason why.

Diggs has been charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery over the December incident, CBS Boston reported.
In a statement to BBC, Diggs’ attorney, David Meier, said that the 32-year-old “categorically denies these allegations,” adding that the claims were “unsubstantiated” and “uncorroborated.”
Meier also stated that the allegations stemmed from “the direct result of an employee-employer financial dispute that was not resolved to the employee’s satisfaction.”
The New England Patriots wide receiver is scheduled to be arraigned before court on January 23.
“The New England Patriots are aware of the accusations that have been made regarding Stefon Diggs,” the Patriots said in a statement. “Stefon has informed the organization that he categorically denies the allegations. We support Stefon. We will continue to gather information and will cooperate fully with the appropriate authorities and the NFL as necessary. Out of respect for all parties involved, and given that this is an ongoing legal matter, we will have no further comment at this time.”
