Cardi B has responded to fans criticizing her relationship with NFL player Stefon Diggs. In a video shared on X on December 29, 2023, the rapper urged her followers to be kinder, expressing frustration over the negativity directed at her personal life. “Y’all need to calm down,” Cardi stated, addressing the backlash that has persisted for several days.
The 33-year-old artist acknowledged the scrutiny, saying, “Y’all been a little bit too mean. Like, alright now.” She emphasized that she cannot change her past decisions, referencing her role as a mother and her ongoing responsibilities. Cardi, who recently welcomed a son with Diggs, also has three children from her previous marriage to rapper Offset.
As she prepares for her upcoming *Little Miss Drama Tour*, which begins in January 2024, Cardi expressed the challenges she faces balancing her family life and professional commitments. “I have so much work to do once January starts that it’s stressing me out,” she explained, highlighting the extensive rehearsal schedule of 10 to 12 hours each day.
Cardi also shared her desire for positivity in the new year. “I want y’all to come to my tour and enjoy yourself with me,” she said. “Don’t be dragging me. It’s enough. I love y’all. I want good for y’all.”
Her relationship with Diggs, 32, has garnered attention since they were first linked in October 2024. The couple’s son was born in November, and Cardi previously revealed in a September interview with Gayle King on *CBS Mornings* that she and Diggs were expecting. “I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong,” she stated at the time.
In her latest album, Cardi hinted that the song “Safe” reflects her feelings for Diggs, who plays as a wide receiver for the New England Patriots. “He just makes me feel safe and very confident and very strong,” she noted, describing how his support has helped her navigate the pressures of her career.
The couple’s relationship has not been without controversy. Last month, a paternity test confirmed that Diggs is the father of a child born to model Aileen Lopera. Cardi addressed the speculation surrounding this situation on social media, asserting that both partners would handle the matter privately.
As she gears up for her tour, Cardi B continues to seek understanding from her fanbase. Her candid remarks emphasize the challenges many face in balancing personal and professional lives, particularly in the public eye.
