Cardi B has publicly stepped in to defend Stefon Diggs. The New England Patriots receiver faces serious legal accusations from a former employee.
The controversy surfaced after court filings alleged that Diggs physically assaulted his former personal chef. This occurred during a dispute over unpaid wages at his residence in early December. Reports claim the woman accused Diggs of choking and slapping her. The allegations quickly spread across social media and sports news platforms.
As public scrutiny intensified, Cardi B addressed the claims directly online. In a series of emotional posts, she rejected the accusations and questioned the former employee’s credibility. Cardi B said the allegations did not align with her own interactions with the woman.

— TMZ (@TMZ) January 5, 2026“Not once has that woman ever told me she was touched. Not once,” Cardi B wrote in a now-deleted post, responding to critics who questioned why she was defending Diggs.
The rapper also shared what she described as a screenshot of a text message from the former chef. However, the image could not be independently verified. The key context surrounding the exchange was not visible. Despite this, Cardi B maintained confidence in her stance and said she would allow the legal process to run its course.
Shortly after, the posts were deleted, though screenshots continued to circulate online, further fueling debate.
