Watch: Cardi B Hints At Name of New Baby With Stefon Diggs

Offset is setting the record straight. 

Days after Cardi B and her boyfriend Stefon Diggs’ confirmed they welcomed their first baby together, the Migos alum—dad to Kulture, 8, Wave, 3, and Blossom, 12 months, with Cardi—allegedly joked in a Nov. 15 Instagram Story, per Complex, “My kid lol.”

And before Offset spoke out to clarify that the post was fake, she shared her response to his alleged post in a slew of since-deleted posts on X.

“Y’all be thinking it’s so funny and it’s not,” Cardi—who announced her pregnancy in September—wrote in a post, per the publication, calling out her ex’s short-lived Instagram Story. “It’s been over a year and I’m still being harassed and threatened to the point that I feel like my life in danger.” 

The Grammy winner reflected on her July 2024 breakup from her fellow rapper adding, “It’s all fun and games until it’s too late.”

“Mf’ers do anything for attention and it could get real nasty with just one upload,” she added. “LEAVE ME TF ALONE.”

Offset’s rep has since denied that he wrote the message.

“Any statements attributed to Offset circulating on social media are completely fabricated,” the rep told E! News on Nov. 17. "Cardi responded to misinformation, and the situation escalated unnecessarily. Offset has remained supportive of Cardi and genuinely wishes her nothing but the best.”

Cardi confirmed Nov. 13 that she and her boyfriend of over a year had welcomed their baby boy. 

“I brought new music and a new album to the world!” Cardi wrote in an Instagram post at the time. “A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve.”

And while Cardi has previously shared she likes texts from her exes when they want a second chance, she and Offset are unlikely to go another round. 

“It was great while it lasted,” Offset, 33, told the Associated Press Aug. 16. “That shouldn’t be the topic for either one of us no more. It’s a book that’s closed.”

As he put it, “It’s all love and peace. I just ended the album with that, just to end that chapter because it’s time to move on, it’s over and done with.”

Similarly, Cardi, also 33, isn’t letting her past get in the way of her future with the New England Patriots player. 

“I would get married again,” the rapper—who sparked dating rumors with Stefon back in February—said during a Sept. 16 appearance on Today. “I believe in love. I'm like a hopeless romantic.”

Of course, the “Bodak Yellow” singer is well aware that she can’t completely bury her history. 

“Everybody knows how devoted I am as a mother, so they just know that it's like, this is what I come with,” she explained. “I come with a luggage, a baggage, a bookbag, a purse. I come with everything.”

Obviously, none of it has been too much for the NFL wide receiver to carry. 

“I'm happy I feel like I'm in a good space," Cardi gushed after announcing her pregnancy on CBS Mornings Sept. 17. “Me and my man are very supportive of each other. We like in the same space in our careers. You know what it is that I feel like we're really great, we're really the best at what we do.”

Indeed, Cardi is certainly up with Stefon by her side. 

“He just makes me feel safe and very confident," she added. "And it makes you feel like you could take over the world.”

Editor’s note: This story was updated on Nov. 17, 2025, at 6:12 p.m. PT with Offset’s statement saying his alleged social media post was fabricated.

The Beginning of Their Romance

While fans already knew Cardi B likes those Balenciagas (the ones that look like socks), they began wondering if she also liked Stefon Diggs in October 2024. The rapper and the New England Patriots wide receiver then fueled dating speculation after they were photographed together on Valentine's Day 2025.

Though Cardi hasn't revealed the exact Xs and Os of how she met Stefon, it was more or less her thinking, "Oh he's so handsome, what's his name?"

"I thought he was cute," she said on a September 2025 episode of Today, noting they connected through mutual friends. "I was like, 'Oh, he gotta be mine.'"

A Fashionable Night Out

While some would prefer to finesse rumors, the Grammy winner and the athlete weren't afraid to keep people talking when they stepped out for a 2025 Met Gala after-party in May.

Confirming Their Relationship

Later that month, Cardi and Stefon confirmed they're a couple while attending an NBA Playoff game between the Celtics and the Knicks in New York.

"It’s tough hiding. It’s tough dating in your 30s, too, but I like him. I love him, today," the "Bodak Yellow" artist told Billboard in September 2025.  "I was always scared of dating people [because] I’ve always been in a long relationship since I was like 21."

Vacation Time

Cardi and Stefon seemed to be living their best life while spending Memorial Day weekend on a yacht in Miami, Fla.

Romantic Getaway

In June 2025, the "Money" star and the football player made some more moves, debuting their relationship on Instagram and then taking a trip to Paris.

Luxurious Gifts

But fans began to wonder if Cardi and Stefon had already split after their Instagram post marking their hard launch was deleted in July 2025.

However, the musician assured followers things were Okurrr after she posted a video showcasing the Patek Philippe watch she got from Stefon.

"My boo boo got it for me at London Jewelers," she said in an August 2025 TikTok. "You know, I went to link up with him at London Jewelers and I thought he was buying himself a watch. And [he was] like, 'Surprise, a watch for you!' And [I was like], 'Ahhh! Thank you!'"

Shutting Down Speculation

Weeks later, there was speculation that Cardi could be growing her family. But when the star—who also shares kids Kulture, Wave and Blossom with ex Offset—was asked about the paternity of her rumored little one, she slammed the question.

"You’re disrespectful. Don’t do that," she told the inquirer in September 2025 while exiting a courthouse in L.A., where she won her viral trial. "Do you see women asking those types of questions to me?...Why do you feel as a man you get to ask me those types of questions? Act like you have some manners. Your mama taught you: Respect women."

A Baby on the Way

Later that month, Cardi confirmed she and Stefon are expecting a baby. While the child will be the couple's first together, the bundle of joy marks her fourth and his second overall (He is dad to daughter Nova from a previous relationship).

"Everybody kept telling me I should have fun, and we had a little bit of too fun and now I’m here," Cardi told CBS Mornings in September 2025, adding, "We’re very excited. We’re very happy."

And she had a message for all those who had been spreading pregnancy rumors.

"Now y’all can buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff," Cardi added, referencing her sophomore release Am I the Drama?. "I told ya. Now go support my album ‘cause I’m a mother of four now."

Cheering Each Other On

For Cardi, forming a new relationship with Stefon after her divorce from Offset required her to be "open and vulnerable."

"One time he just told me like, ‘Let me heal you,'" she continued on CBS Mornings. "'Give me a chance for me to heal you.'"

And while Stefon plays offense, he's quick to come to Cardi's defense. Like when he supported her ahead of her album release.

"When people just rip it apart, it just hurts you and it crush you," she added. "He’s like, ‘Girl, you better get it together.’ He makes me feel very confident. I feel like feeling safe is feeling confident. Feeling like you can do it, and it makes you feel like you can take over the world."

Of course, the support goes both ways as Cardi noted she's become a football fan.

"I be in the screen on Sunday, every day, cursing people out," she said on a September 2025 episode of Today. "'Pass the ball!'"

Addressing Allegations

Shortly after Cardi announced her pregnancy, Stefon made headlines over a lawsuit model Aileen Lopera filed in December 2024 in which she accused him of fathering her baby girl born in April 2025, per court documents obtained by People. According to his response obtained by the outlet, Stefon has contested the allegation that he fathered the child and has requested genetic testing to determine paternity.

Cardi then appeared to address the drama on social media.

"Hello, Barbara. This is Shirley," she said in a September 2025, giving a nod to the lyrics of Shirley Brown’s song "Woman to Woman" in which a woman calls up her partner’s mistress. "That’s your baby daddy, b---h? That’s my baby daddy, too. Well what now? I don’t f--king know. We’ll figure it out b---h."
