When a video of Stefon Diggs and Cardi B locked in what looked like a heated exchange outside a Maryland coffee shop went viral back in May, the internet had plenty to say. Fans immediately speculated about relationship trouble, especially given the complicated history between the NFL star wideout and the Grammy-winning artist. But Diggs isn’t letting the drama stick around—and his take on the whole thing is about as chill as it gets.
In his first public comments addressing the incident, Diggs essentially shrugged it off, insisting that he and Cardi are doing just fine. When pressed about whether they’re officially back together, he gave a diplomatically vague response:“That’s a beautiful talented mother, and I love her to death. You have to ask her.”It’s the kind of answer that says everything and nothing at the same time—perfect for someone who clearly doesn’t want to be pinned down on relationship status. He also downplayed the confrontation itself, noting that while he appeared calm in the footage,“Women get like that sometimes.”(Take that for what you will.) The whole thing, he insisted, is water under the bridge.
Cardi B had already addressed the situation herself on social media, chalking it up to being“hangry”—hungry enough to get irritable. It’s a lighthearted explanation that fits the playful vibe both seem to be aiming for now. The drama gets a little messier when you factor in the fact that Offset, Cardi’s ex and father of one of her children, was reportedly seeking a DNA test earlier this year—but Diggs sidestepped those questions entirely, repeatedly emphasizing that he’s not glued to his phone and spends most of his time training.
As for the football side of things, Diggs remains a free agent and is staying ready while weighing his options for next season. But his real focus seems to be steering clear of the tabloid chaos. Whether he and Cardi are officially an item again remains officially unconfirmed, but there’s no sense of bad blood between them. Sometimes the real relationship status is just that they’re both moving forward without the public drama—and maybe that’s the answer that matters most.
