Cardi B publicly acknowledged her breakup from NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs during a heated moment at her concert Sunday night, defending the New England Patriots star against a jab from rapper BIA.
The Grammy-winning artist, 33, addressed the crowd during her “Little Miss Drama Tour” stop in Los Angeles on Feb. 15, 2026, while introducing her diss track “Pretty & Petty.” In a viral clip, she declared:
“Let me tell you somethin’, just because I ain’t fn’ with my baby daddy doesn’t mean you get to talk about my baby daddy, b! This for you, b****!”
The comment marked the first time Cardi B directly confirmed the end of her relationship with Diggs, 32, referring to him as her “baby daddy” — a term she used to emphasize their co-parenting bond despite the romantic split.
Speculation about the breakup had swirled for more than a week, intensifying after the couple appeared to unfollow each other on Instagram following the Patriots’ 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl 2026 earlier this month. Fans noticed the social media shift on Feb. 9, sparking widespread rumors.

Cardi B and Diggs welcomed their first child together, a son, in November 2025 — her fourth child overall. The pair made their relationship Instagram official in the summer of 2025 after a whirlwind romance.
No specific reason for the split has been disclosed, and Diggs has not publicly commented on the matter, but it should be noted there were rumors about Diggs becoming a little too close with Offset’s mistress Pree.
The onstage moment came amid ongoing beef between Cardi B and BIA. The comment appeared to respond to a Feb. 12 social media post from BIA that mocked Diggs, stating: “Can u name someone with more bms than receiving yards? I can! and I know that… ykwnvm.” BIA’s dig referenced Diggs’ career receiving yards and his children with multiple women.
By calling Diggs her “baby daddy” while making it clear they are no longer romantically involved, Cardi B drew a line: criticism of him is off-limits from outsiders, even as she pursues her own path.
The “Little Miss Drama Tour” continues through mid-April, with Cardi B focusing on her music and family amid the personal changes. Representatives for both Cardi B and Diggs did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
