Cardi B's Public Moves with Stefon Diggs Spark Reactions and Her Past with Offset Comes Into View Again

If you have been keeping an eye on social media lately, you have probably noticed Cardi B and Stefon Diggs spending a lot of time together. It seems things are heating up between them. The two were spotted again, this time at a New York City club. The famous rapper even gave the football star a rather interesting dance. What is more, Offset, Cardi’s ex-husband, even spoke up about this possible new romance.

Just after signing a big $69 million deal with the Patriots, Diggs went to a Manhattan nightspot with the "WAP" rapper. She was seen giving him a seductive lap dance. This is not the first time these two stars have been seen out in public. They spent Valentine's Day together in Miami. We even saw video of that at the time. Naturally, many fans believe this is more than just a friendship. Some people used the chance to tease Offset, who split with Cardi in August. One person wrote "Offset punching air" on a social media page. But Offset said that is not true. He wrote, "I'm happy for her!!" However, not everyone is buying Offset’s response. Their breakup last year was pretty messy. Offset himself has reportedly moved on. He has been linked to model Melanie Jayda.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs also made their first public appearance together after many rumors they were dating. They arrived holding hands at the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden on Monday, May 12. As they quickly walked past reporters, the "WAP" rapper was all smiles. She wore a sexy all-black mini skirt set. Her hair was sleek, flowing, and jet black. The New England Patriots wide receiver led her into the arena. He wore a denim short set. Once inside, their courtside seats were right next to Mary J. Blige. They watched the Knicks beat the Celtics 121-113. This gave the Knicks a three-games-to-one lead in the NBA East Semifinals.

Cardi B And Stefon Diggs Continue To Fuel Dating Rumors With More Public Sightings

From Club Dances To Courtside Seats The Pair Is Making Headlines With Their Appearances

Cardi B and Diggs first started rumors about a relationship in October 2024. Then they were seen together again around Valentine’s Day. Monday night’s NBA game seemed to be their first time arriving at an event together and being seen so publicly. For months, the pair had been spotted at the same events but arrived separately. Now, they are making it much more obvious. This open behavior has naturally gotten a lot of people talking. Fans are watching to see what happens next with this new duo.

Actress Sarita Choudhury, who plays Seema on And Just Like That, was asked what dating advice she would give Carrie Bradshaw. Her answers highlighted the value of enjoying personal space and actions. While not directly about Cardi, this kind of conversation shows how much people enjoy talking about celebrity relationships and their complexities. It brings up the same discussions that make Cardi's public dating life so interesting to watch. People are always curious how personal life fits into public image.

The Met Gala is always a big event for Cardi B’s fashion choices. This year, she chose "Main Character" Burberry suiting for the 2025 Met Gala. In recent years, Cardi B has shown she is one of the Met Gala’s most detailed dressers. Everyone expected a lot from her at the 2025 Met Gala. She stayed true to the "Tailored for You" dress code. Cardi chose her own spin on modern dandyism. She wore detailed Burberry suiting by designer Daniel Lee. This was a nod to the new exhibition, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."

Offset's Reaction To Cardi B's New Relationship Adds Another Layer To The Drama

His Public Statement And Cardi's Past Claims Reveal A Complex History

Designer Daniel Lee said about Cardi’s Met Gala look, "For Cardi’s look, we liked the idea of a tailored, feminine dandy. Cardi gives main-character energy, and her look reflects this." The star wore a green floor-length embroidered coat with an open back. It definitely got a lot of attention. She wore the coat over a silk shirt with a ruffled collar and cuffs. She also added a silk-satin cummerbund and green velvet jacquard tailored trousers that matched. Lee said the inspiration came from Victorian dress. "There was one particular image we found of an emerald green gown from the 19th century. The back of the gown had a circular cutout that, for the time, would have been controversial. We liked this idea of nonconformity, keeping with the spirit of dandyism."

This striking outfit also followed a recent fall 2025 womenswear look from the brand. Lee added that the collection was about "eccentric characters, and a sense of nobility and extravagance." He felt it was a fitting nod. "The tailored coat was made using green baroque velvet damask, similar to something you would see in an old British stately home." The hand-sewn beading was just as detailed. "We love how this moves when Cardi walks," Lee said. Even though Cardi went a more refined route this year, she remains one of the Met Gala’s biggest risk-takers. Last year, the rapper showed gothic glamour. She wore mounds of tulle in a large design by Windowsen designer Sensen Lii. In 2019, she put on a Thom Browne oxblood gown. It had 30,000 feathers and 44-carat ruby nipples. In 2022, she appeared in a detailed Versace column gown. She even had a Versace convertible. Her latest fashion choice shows she always keeps us on our toes. Lee said of dressing her, "Cardi is a natural performer with an amazing presence. She loves clothes and dressing up, which makes the process a lot of fun. Cardi knows what she wants from a look and comes with ideas. For this Met Gala look, we wanted to honor her exuberant style, while celebrating this year’s theme."

Offset’s public statement that he is "happy for her" comes after Cardi B claimed the Migos star has been sending her threatening messages. She even shared these messages with his new girlfriend, model Melanie Jayda. "This guy upset because I sent his girlfriend messages of him begging me—begging me saying he’s gonna take away his life, begging me saying he’s gonna take away my life," Cardi said during a March 29 conversation on X Spaces. She was talking about where she stood with her ex. "All that s--t, he was mad."

A Look Back At The On-Again Off-Again Romance That Continues To Captivate Fans

Cardi, who shares Kulture, 6, and Wave, 3, with Offset, also said, "This man sent text messages to somebody that I was dealing with of me and him having sex. That’s the type of s--t I’ve been dealing with." After the "WAP" rapper filed for divorce from Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, in August after almost seven years of marriage, her representative explained what caused the breakup. "This is not based on one particular incident," Cardi’s rep told E! News at the time. "It has been a long time coming."

But their split did not stop the joy of welcoming a new child to their family soon after. "With every ending comes a new beginning!" Cardi wrote on Instagram on August 1. "I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all!" This statement shows her strong desire for personal growth and happiness, no matter the relationship status.

Cardi B and Offset had a secret wedding on September 20, 2017. This was just a few months after they started dating. "We found someone to marry us, and she did, just the two of us and my cousin," Cardi told fans months later. "I said I do, with no dress, no makeup and no ring!" A month after their wedding, which fans did not know about yet, Offset asked her to marry him at a sold-out show. He had an 8-carat ring. Six months later, Cardi announced she was expecting her first child with Offset on the SNL stage.

In July 2018, their daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus, was born. She joined his kids Jordan, Kody and Kalea from previous relationships. "My dude named the baby," Cardi told Ellen DeGeneres at the time. "I really like the name. I'm gonna let him say the name since he named the baby. It's, like, almost tricky but when it comes out, it's like, 'Ahh!'" In October 2018, it looked like their love had no limits when they went to the American Music Awards. But in December 2018, things got tough. Cardi announced they broke up after rumors of Offset's cheating spread online. "I guess we grew out of love, but we're not together anymore," she explained on social media. "I don't know. It might take time to get a divorce and I'm gonna always have a lot of love for him because he is my daughter's father."

Will Cardi B And Stefon Diggs Go The Distance Or Is This Another Chapter In A Longer Story?

Offset said sorry to Cardi on Instagram with an emotional message. He also put it on his debut album, Father of 4. "We're going through a lot of things right now, a lot of things in the media," he said in the video. "I want to apologize to you, Cardi. I embarrassed you. I made you go crazy. I was partaking in activity that I shouldn't have been partaking in, and I apologize. You know what I'm saying? For breaking your heart, for breaking our promise, for breaking God's promise and being a selfish, messed-up husband." A day later, he showed up at her performance at the Rolling Loud Festival in Los Angeles. He had a cake and 2,000 white and red roses. The message said, "Take Me Back Cardi."

While Cardi did not seem happy with his grand gesture, she told the press a month later they were "working things out." In February 2019, they confirmed they were back on with a lot of public affection at the Grammys. Offset said, "You gotta go through steps and different things so that we can grow. Not on the TV though, real behind-the-scenes, getting to know each other, getting to know who you're with and appreciate them all the way around. Because that one mistake made me appreciate her." By that spring, they showed their romance with a steamy music video for "Clout" and a surprise performance together.

In May 2019, they went to the Billboard Music Awards. They showed a lot of public affection. In June 2019, they took a striking pose at the BET Awards. They also said loving things to each other on social media. In July 2019, they celebrated Kulture's first birthday with cake at midnight. They later had a huge party for the occasion. In December 2019, Cardi and daughter Kulture appeared on the cover of Vogue. Cardi talked about her husband's infidelity. "I believe in forgiveness," she told the magazine. "I prayed on it. Me and my husband, we prayed on it. We had priests come to us. And we just came to an understanding like, bro, it's really us against the world."

"He has my back for everything, I have his back for everything," Cardi continued. "So when you cheat, you're betraying the person that has your back the most. Why would you do that? We have come to a clear understanding. For me, monogamy is the only way. I'll beat your ass if you cheat on me." In May 2020, they celebrated Cardi's second Mother's Day. Offset wrote a loving message. "Happy Mother's Day," he wrote on Instagram. "Since I met you it's been love thank you for my beautiful daughter she smart with attitude like you and talented like us both my kids and you help me become a better guy all around. Thank You WIFE !!!!"

In September 2020, the "WAP" artist filed for divorce again after three years of marriage. Cardi’s legal team said the marriage was "irretrievably broken" and "there are no prospects for a reconciliation." Two months later, they said they were trying again. Offset’s lawyer said the divorce filing had been dismissed. In June 2021, Cardi announced she was expecting her second child with Offset during a performance. In September 2021, they announced their baby's birth. "We are so overjoyed to finally meet our son," they said. "He is already loved so much by family and friends and we can't wait to introduce him to his other siblings." Seven months later, they revealed his name: Wave Set Cephus.

In November 2021, Cardi talked about their journey. "Of course we went through some challenges," she told E! News. "We had to get to know each other better. But I feel like I've never been happier. I really feel like [it's] not even just marriage, it's the family, the unity, the friendship that we have, the 'I have your back, you have my back.'" In April 2022, Cardi looked back at their early marriage. “I feel like our first year, even though we were in love with each other, we had a lot of lust,” she told Essence. “We didn’t really know each other like that, because he was doing four shows a week. I was doing four shows a week. We would see each other about three or four times a month.”

In January 2023, the "Up" rapper said why she called off their divorce in 2020. "The main thing that I wanted him to stop and everything, he stopped and he changed," she explained on The Jason Lee Show. "And it showed me that he wanted to change for me." As time went on, Cardi added, they were "getting better and better." She then learned they were expecting baby Wave. She decided to give Offset another chance. In December 2023, Cardi confirmed they broke up again. She said on Instagram Live she had "been single for a minute now."

In January 2024, after they celebrated New Year's Eve together, fans wondered where they stood. Cardi felt she needed to explain. "I don't consider that we're back together," she told her followers. "Because the answer of getting back together is not a good night at the club and f--king the night long. We need to work on our s--t. We need to work on our communication. There's things that he gotta work on, there's things that I gotta work on." So, Cardi said, they were "testing the space." In May 2024, they sparked reconciliation rumors again after being seen at a Met Gala after-party. "I think it through," she told Rolling Stone about their marriage. "We think it through, because we do love each other. It’s not even about love. We’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.’ It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?”

Finally, in July 2024, Cardi filed for divorce from Offset again after seven years of marriage. Her representative confirmed this on August 1. This long history shows a relationship full of ups and downs, which keeps fans interested in every new development.
