Cardi B has publicly addressed criticism surrounding her relationship with NFL player Stefon Diggs, urging fans to reconsider their harsh judgments. In a video shared on December 29, 2024, the Grammy-winning rapper expressed her frustration over ongoing negative comments. She stated, “Y’all need to calm down… Y’all been dragging me for three or four days. And y’all been a little bit too mean.”
This response comes as Cardi prepares for her upcoming “Little Miss Drama Tour,” a commitment that adds to her already busy schedule. She emphasized the pressure of managing her professional and personal life, saying, “I have so much work to do once January starts that it’s stressing me out… I have to rehearse for 10 to 12 hours a day for tour.”
Cardi B, 33, and Stefon Diggs, 32, have been linked since October 2024. The couple welcomed their first child together, a son, in November. Cardi also shares three children—daughters Kulture, 7, and Blossom, 15 months, as well as a son, Wave, 4—with her estranged husband, Offset.
Amid the scrutiny, Cardi highlighted her desire for a peaceful new year. “I want y’all to come to my tour and enjoy yourself with me. Don’t be dragging me,” she added. “I love y’all. I want good for y’all… Wish me the same thing. Leave me alone, though.”
In her video, she also reflected on the support she receives from Diggs. She mentioned that the song “Safe” from her latest album is inspired by him. “He just makes me feel safe and very confident,” she noted. This relationship has not been without complications; a paternity test recently confirmed that Diggs is the father of a child born to model Aileen Lopera in April. Cardi previously commented on this situation in an Instagram Live session, stating, “That’s your baby daddy, bitch? That’s my baby daddy too… We’ll figure it out, bitch.”
As Cardi prepares for her tour, she is focusing on balancing her career with her family life. She aims to foster a positive environment for her children and herself while navigating the challenges that come with fame.
Cardi’s candid remarks highlight the pressures of public scrutiny and the complexities of modern relationships. As she embarks on her tour, she hopes to channel her experiences into a positive space both for herself and her fans.
