Cardi B and Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs are the subject of romance rumors after the pair were spotted looking quite flirty during a recent club outing.
In video captured in New Orleans on Thursday night (February 6), the pair can be seen smiling and talking throughout the night and appearing to be more than friends.
Cardi was previously subjected to rumors that she cheated on Offset with Diggs after Akademiks made the claims on his Rumble channel back in October.
The superstar rapper seemingly responded while talking to fans on X Spaces days later, calling the internet “insane” and noting the rumors are “crazy” — but said she has no desire to combat them at this point.

“The internet is insane. All these rumors are so fucking crazy,” she said at the time. “That’s why I don’t wanna address it because I feel like shit is funny. I’ma just let it ride out because I think it’s cute, it’s funny. I’ma let people think what they wanna think.”
In his initial claims, Akademiks said: “This is what I heard… Cardi B was catching Offset doing all types of bullshit and basically, when Cardi B was like eight months pregnant, Offset went through her phone and caught her texting some dog-ass n-gga named Stefon Diggs, some football player.”
He then claimed that their relationship was not physical but their texts were flirtatious and there was even a picture sent.

“I heard she didn’t fuck him, but she was texting the n-gga, entertaining the n-gga,” he continued. “I heard there was a picture sent.”
He added: “That n-gga Offset sees the flirting. In a toxic n-gga mind, you fucked. So that’s why the n-gga is saying, ‘You done fucked Stefon Diggs.’”
Offset originally accused Cardi B of having sex with another man while she was pregnant with their youngest child, who was born in September. The pair are currently in the process of divorcing.
At the top of the year, Cardi announced that she was done with dating for at least a month as she wanted to focus on finishing her album – but her outing with Diggs landed exactly one month later to the day.

Diggs welcomed a child with influencer Joie Chavis last year and was most recently linked to Yung Miami when they were seen celebrating his birthday together in December.
