NFL free agent Stefon Diggs denied Thursday that he posted a vulgar Instagram Story disparaging rapper Cardi B, calling the viral claim “fake” and accusing the account that shared it of lying for clicks.
A screengrab circulated Tuesday by the South African entertainment site EntertainmentSA purported to show Diggs’ Instagram Story reading:
“The wrong decision I made recently … Falling in love with a whore with 3 kids. Brought bad luck to life, business, endorsements & partners. Stained my status.”

Diggs responded directly in the comments section of the EntertainmentSA Instagram post.
“lol I would never say no goofy ass s–t like this,” he wrote. “Nor would I speak on the mother of my kid like that, stop lying to the internet for clicks for your page disappear.”
Diggs, 32, and Cardi B made their relationship public in June 2025 and welcomed a son that November. The couple split before the Super Bowl in February 2026 and unfollowed each other on Instagram. Reunion rumors surfaced after Diggs attended one of her concerts on April 8.
The 32-year-old four-time Pro Bowler was released by the New England Patriots in March after one season with the team. He remains unsigned.
The Instagram Story attributed to Diggs was not visible on his account Thursday afternoon. EntertainmentSA pinned his denial to the top of the comments on its post.
Cardi B has not publicly commented on the viral claim.
