NFL offseason stories often revolve around trades, injuries, or training camp drama. But Stefon Diggs, one of the league’s most talented wide receivers, is making waves for a very different reason—his growing connection with Grammy-winning rapper
Cardi B. The two have been spotted together more frequently in recent weeks, fueling speculation that their relationship is more than just friendly. And now, a recent appearance by Cardi at Diggs' youth football camp has all but confirmed it.
Cardi B shows up for “Diggs Day” and fans take notice
Stefon Diggs hosted his annual youth football camp, “Diggs Day,” in Maryland, a tradition that brings young athletes together for skill-building and mentorship. But this year’s event came with an unexpected celebrity guest: Cardi B. The rapper was photographed at the event by none other than University of Maryland head football coach Michael Locksley, who posted the image to X (formerly Twitter) with the caption: “Welcome to #Terpsville @iamcardib.”
The photo made waves almost instantly. Cardi B’s appearance wasn’t just a casual drop-in, it marked the latest public moment between her and Diggs, following a string of social media videos that have shown the pair together, including one that stirred buzz for its playful, flirty nature.
While the NFL has seen plenty of celebrity-athlete pairings, this one has captured attention for its timing. Diggs is entering a pivotal point in his career. After a trade to the Houston Texans last season, he’s now part of the New England Patriots’ offense. But after only playing eight games in 2023 due to injury, questions remain about his readiness to bounce back.
There’s no denying that Diggs has had an eventful offseason. Between the boat party photos that circulated earlier this year and now the Cardi B appearances, he’s remained a talking point despite not suiting up since late 2023. For some fans, it’s a sign he’s enjoying his life outside football. For others, it raises concerns about whether his focus is fully on the game, especially with training camp just around the corner.
Showing up for a youth camp is a positive gesture, and having Cardi B there only brought more visibility to an event aimed at empowering kids. But in the ultra-competitive world of pro football, perception matters.
