The world of sports and entertainment collided in a legal storm as Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B found herself embroiled in a controversy involving NFL star Stefon Diggs. The New England Patriots wide receiver faces serious allegations of physical violence from his former private chef, and Cardi B's public defense has taken several dramatic turns, leaving fans shocked and divided.
Cardi B's Public Defense and Sudden Reversal
In a bold move of support, Cardi B took to social media to defend Stefon Diggs against the accusations. She claimed the former private chef had been lying and posted a screenshot of what she alleged was a text message from the chef. The text read, “I’m sooo sorry, I can’t talk to you… please contact my mediator and she will answer anything you need to know.”
In a fiery caption accompanying the screenshot, Cardi B stated, "Not once has that woman said anything to me about being touched.. NOT ONCE!!" She added that they communicated daily until the chef left Diggs' residence and threatened to let the courts handle the matter. However, in a twist that sparked outrage, Cardi B deleted the post just a few hours later. This sudden reversal led many fans to accuse her of dishonesty and supporting Diggs despite the serious crime he is reportedly accused of.
Stefon Diggs and Legal Team Deny All Allegations
The core of the controversy stems from allegations made by Diggs' ex-private chef, who accused the athlete of strangling and physical violence on December 2. Stefon Diggs has strongly denied all these claims.
His lawyer, David Meier, issued a firm statement to E! News, saying, "Stefon Diggs categorically denies these allegations. They are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, and were never investigated—because they did not occur." The legal team suggested the allegations have a financial motive, stemming from an unresolved employer-employee dispute. The statement concluded that Diggs looks forward to proving the truth in court.
Fallout and Unanswered Questions
The incident has created chaos among fans of both the musician and the athlete. Cardi B's actions—first publicly standing by Diggs with evidence, then deleting it—have fueled intense speculation. While she has not responded to the backlash over the deleted post, she continues to support Diggs privately. The case now awaits legal proceedings, where the truth behind the allegations will be formally established. The situation highlights the complex intersection of celebrity relationships, legal battles, and trial by social media.
