Cardi B has strongly defended herself against backlash from fans regarding her partner Stefon Diggs’ Christmas plans. In a video posted on X on December 29, 2025, the rapper expressed her frustration with online critics who have targeted her and Diggs for celebrating the holiday separately. The couple welcomed their first child, a son, in November 2025, which added to the scrutiny surrounding their family dynamics.
In the video, Cardi B urged fans to “calm down” and reconsider their comments. She explained that while Diggs, a player for the New England Patriots, spent Christmas with his two other children, she stayed home to care for their newborn. This situation prompted a wave of criticism from fans who were quick to judge their family arrangements.
Cardi B addressed the negativity directly, stating, “Y’all need to calm down. Is y’all cool? Y’all been dragging me for three or four days. Y’all have become a little bit too mean.” She emphasized that she is unable to change the circumstances of her life, including the responsibilities that come with being a new parent, adding, “I already had a baby. You want me to put my baby back in my p***y? I don’t know. What do you want me to do?”
The rapper reiterated her commitment to her family and her upcoming work commitments. With a busy schedule ahead as she prepares for her tour, Cardi B expressed that she is already feeling “super stressed out.” She remarked, “I have so much work to do once January starts. That is stressing me out. I’m going to be away from my baby, away from my personal life, my home. I have to rehearse for 10 to 12 hours a day for the tour.”
Furthermore, she called for support from her fans, stating, “I need my support system, my fans, to love me. I want you to come to my tour and enjoy yourselves. Don’t be dragging me. This is enough.” Cardi B concluded her message by wishing everyone a Happy New Year, requesting that fans refrain from fueling unnecessary drama regarding her personal life.
In navigating the challenges of fame and family, Cardi B’s candid response highlights the pressures that come with public scrutiny, especially for new parents in the spotlight. As the new year approaches, she aims to focus on her career and family, urging fans to extend understanding rather than criticism.
