Did Cardi B and Stefon Diggs unfollow each other?
Speculation around Cardi B and Stefon Diggs intensified after the Super Bowl when fans observed that the couple no longer followed each other on Instagram. The move came shortly after Diggs and the New England Patriots lost during Sunday night’s game, prompting immediate online chatter.For many fans, the unfollowing was seen as a sign of deeper trouble, especially given the difficult circumstances surrounding Diggs in recent weeks. While neither Cardi nor Diggs has publicly addressed the change, social media users were quick to connect the dots.
What legal trouble is Stefon Diggs facing?
Away from football, Diggs is currently dealing with serious allegations stemming from an incident reported last December. The New England Patriots wide receiver is facing a felony charge of strangulation and a misdemeanor charge of assault related to an alleged altercation.
Diggs has denied all accusations. His attorney, David Meier, stated that Diggs “has categorically denied the accusations of felony strangulation/suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery.”
Diggs is scheduled to appear at Dedham District Court in Massachusetts on Friday at 9 am local time, where he is expected to enter a formal plea. The arraignment was delayed to allow him to participate in the Super Bowl.
On Friday, a judge will decide what conditions Diggs must meet to remain free while the case proceeds. These could include bail, travel restrictions, or a no-contact order.
What do court documents allege happened?
Dedham police said the woman appeared “emotional and hesitant” to identify the suspect, citing Diggs’ fame and public profile in New England.
Court documents allege that Diggs entered her unlocked bedroom and confronted her over a text-message dispute regarding money he allegedly owed her. The situation is said to have escalated, with Diggs allegedly striking her across the face. When she attempted to push him away, the report claims he tried to choke her.
“The male then tried to choke her using the crook of his elbow around her neck,” the police report stated.
How does this affect Cardi B and their family?
Amid the Super Bowl loss, legal uncertainty, and split rumors, The U.S. Sun has also reported that Diggs has six baby mamas across the United States. Diggs, 32, and Cardi welcomed their son on November 4.
Reports state that most of Diggs’ children were born within months of each other in 2025, a detail that has fueled online debate and scrutiny, as per a report by The Mirror.
Despite this, an insider told The U.S. Sun that Cardi was aware of Diggs’ reputation from the beginning. “Cardi has known since day one that Stefon had a reputation as a womanizer and had seen multiple women in the past, but her love for him is above all of that,” the source said.
The insider added that Cardi believes Diggs has changed. “She knows he has been faithful since they made things official and that he’s been transparent about his previous relationships, only seeing her since they committed to each other.”

Why has Cardi B stayed supportive?
Sources say Cardi, while disliking the ongoing drama, admires Diggs as a father. “She loves that he’s not a deadbeat dad,” the source said. “She believes he’s a present, loving, and supportive father.”
However, Cardi has reportedly made her boundaries clear. “She’s been very clear with Stefon: if he messes up, if another woman comes forward with a baby after they became official and started a family together, she’s done,” the insider explained, as per a report by The Mirror.
“She told him plainly that if he cheats or has a child behind her back, it’s over.”
While Cardi is described as fiercely loyal, she reportedly struggles with public criticism aimed at Diggs. “She does get upset when people talk badly about him, seeing it as disrespect,” another source said.
Behind the scenes, Cardi has also been actively involved in helping Diggs manage co-parenting and blended-family dynamics. “When she loves, she fights for her man. Period,” the source said, as per a report by The Mirror.
