Stefon Diggs sparks backlash from Patriots fans after public courtside date with Cardi B, gets criticized for losing focus

Send Push
Monday night’s Knicks-Celtics playoff matchup at Madison Square Garden had no shortage of star power. But while the action on the court was electric, much of the buzz came from the front row. Rapper Cardi B and New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs turned heads when they appeared courtside together, fueling long-swirling dating rumors that now seem harder to ignore.

A courtside cameo that stole the spotlight
Dressed in bold black leather, Cardi B matched the energy of the night with a cropped top and pleated skirt, while Diggs rocked a coordinated denim look. As the cameras caught the two sharing laughs and cheering on the Knicks—who punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals with a 121–113 win over Boston—the real conversation was what was unfolding off the court.



Are Cardi B and Stefon Diggs the next celebrity power couple ?


Social media erupted once the footage surfaced. Many fans saw the appearance as a “hard launch” of their relationship. The speculation, which began months ago when the duo was spotted together on Valentine’s Day and later at Coachella, reached a fever pitch. “People are definitely gonna ask: what’s going between Stefon Diggs & Cardi B!” one fan posted. Another wrote bluntly, “Cardi and Stefon really a thing?”

Not everyone was cheering, though. A segment of Patriots fans seemed less than thrilled, with one writing, “Come on, Stefon.” Others couldn’t resist drawing connections to Cardi B’s high-profile ex, Offset, whom she divorced in 2020 after three years of marriage. “Cardi B looks lost, lol. I see why Offset wasn’t stunting it. It’s nothing to miss,” one critic commented. Another even joked, “Cardi got Diggs dressed like Offset.”

While neither Cardi B nor Diggs has confirmed the status of their relationship, the public nature of their recent outings is certainly intentional. Whether it's romance or just friendly chemistry, their visibility at high-profile events continues to generate headlines—and possibly ruffle a few feathers.
