Cardi B, the Grammy-winning rapper known for her hit “Bodak Yellow,” has sparked speculation about her relationship status with NFL star Stefon Diggs. This week, fans noticed that she removed photos of Diggs from her Instagram, leading to rumors of a breakup. The couple, who publicly confirmed their relationship in June, had been together since the NBA Playoffs in May.
The announcement comes as Cardi B is set to release her highly anticipated sophomore album, “Am I the Drama?” on September 19. The album’s title track seems to echo the current intrigue surrounding her personal life. Despite the social media changes, both Cardi B and Diggs still follow each other on Instagram, leaving fans to wonder about the true nature of their relationship.
From Hard Launch to Speculation
In June, Cardi B and Stefon Diggs made their relationship Instagram official with a series of intimate photos from a boating trip. Cardi captioned the now-deleted post, “Chapter 5 ……Hello Chapter six.” Their romance first caught public attention in February when TMZ captured them arriving at a Miami hotel during Valentine’s Day weekend.
By April, they were seen together again at a Manhattan nightclub, where photos of Cardi dancing on Diggs’ lap circulated online. The public display even received a thumbs-up from Cardi’s estranged husband, Offset, a member of the rap group Migos.
Past Relationships and Public Perception
Cardi B’s relationship with Offset has been tumultuous, marked by a divorce filing in 2024. The couple, who share three children, have had a rocky relationship, often airing their disputes on social media. The removal of Diggs’ photos has led to comparisons with her past public relationship dynamics.
Meanwhile, Cardi B’s presence at Paris Fashion Week without Diggs further fueled breakup rumors. She made a striking appearance at the Schiaparelli showcase, wearing a dramatic gown and accessorizing with a live crow, a nod to her upcoming album’s imagery.
The Upcoming Album: “Am I the Drama?”
Cardi B’s new album, “Am I the Drama?,” marks her return to music seven years after her debut album, “Invasion of Privacy.” The album cover features Cardi in an abstract red bodysuit, surrounded by dark birds, symbolizing transformation and resilience.
In a teaser video, Cardi reflects on “seven years of love, life, and loss,” emphasizing her growth and empowerment.
“I learned power’s not given. It’s taken,” she declares. “I’m shedding feathers and no more tears. I’m not back. I’m beyond.”
Implications and Future Speculations
The removal of Diggs’ photos and the timing of her album release have led to widespread speculation about Cardi B’s personal and professional life. As fans eagerly await her new music, questions about her relationship status remain unanswered. The situation highlights the intersection of celebrity relationships and public perception in the age of social media.
As the release date for “Am I the Drama?” approaches, Cardi B’s fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how her personal experiences influence her music.
