Cardi B dropped her bold new single “Outside” on June 18, 2025, at Cannes Lions, igniting speculation about her ex, Offset and rumoured beau Stefon Diggs.
Cardi B’s first solo release in over a year, “Outside” channels her post-divorce emotions, filed against Offset in mid-2024 after a tumultuous relationship since 2017, per Billboard. Lyrics like “Do you know how you do me, bet you we won’t speak again / Favourite player from your favourite team, he in my DM” and a nod to the “Patriots” suggest a connection to NFL star Stefon Diggs, fueling romance rumours, as noted on People. Neither Cardi nor Diggs has confirmed a relationship, leaving fans to speculate.
