In a post shared by Leadership Nigeria, US rap icon Cardi B has reportedly ended her relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs. The news comes just months after the couple welcomed their first child together, a development that had previously surprised fans of both the music and sports worlds.
The split was reportedly triggered by the “Little Miss Drama” tour schedules and the pressures of balancing two high-profile careers with a newborn. Cardi B, who is known for her transparency with her “Bardi Gang” fanbase, hinted at the breakup during a recent Los Angeles show where she brought out Tyla as a surprise guest.
Stefon Diggs, a prominent figure in the NFL, has remained relatively quiet on the matter, though sources close to the athlete suggest the “long-distance” nature of their relationship during the football season played a significant role. The couple had been one of the most talked-about cross-industry pairings of 2025.
Fans are currently scouring Cardi’s social media for “sub-tweets” and clues, while the rapper has stayed focused on her tour. This breakup marks another high-profile chapter in Cardi’s public romantic history, which has always been a staple of tabloid news.
* Naija News reported: “Cardi B announces breakup from boyfriend Diggs after welcoming their first child.”
* BellaNaija confirmed the performance details: “Cardi B surprises fans by bringing out Grammy-Winner Tyla during ‘Little Miss Drama’ tour in LA,” amid split rumors.
Echotitbits take:
The “Cardi-Diggs” era was short but intense. This split feels like a classic case of “lifestyle clash”—the grueling NFL season versus a global rap tour. Cardi B has a history of wearing her heart on her sleeve (and her lyrics), so expect a “breakup anthem” to drop before the year ends. From a branding perspective, Cardi often thrives in her “independent woman” phases, so this might actually accelerate her album rollout. Diggs will likely face a barrage of “Cardi” chants from opposing fans next season.
