Cardi B is just trying to enjoy her holiday break in peace. In a good-humored video posted to X on Monday (Dec. 29), the rapper asked fans to please stop raking her over the coals for her relationship with Stefon Diggs, who recently sparked online discourse by posting about spending Christmas with his other children.
Filming herself while lying down in bed, Cardi opened the clip by saying straightforwardly, “Y’all need to calm down.”
“Y’all been dragging me for three or four days, and y’all been a little too mean,” she continued, laughing. “I can’t change s–t. I can’t go back in time. I already had a baby. Y’all want me to put my baby back in my p—y? You want me to leave my man and f–k yours? What y’all want me to do? We can only go forward now.”
The Grammy winner went on to stress that she has “so much work to do” starting in January — including a slew of 10- to 12-hour rehearsals for her upcoming tour — which has her feeling overwhelmed enough on its own. “I’m gonna be away from my babies, away from my personal life, away from my home … I need my support system, my fans, to love me,” Cardi added with her characteristic candor. “I want y’all to come to my tour and enjoy yourselves with me. Don’t be dragging me. That’s enough!”
“Leave me alone, though,” she added. “Damn. Y’all scare me sometimes!”
Captioned, “We need a reset,” Cardi’s video comes as the internet has been rife with commentary about her relationship with Diggs. The wide receiver posted photos of himself a few days prior spending Christmas with two different babies — “One of my boys first Christmas,” he captioned one of them — seemingly confirming prior reports that he’d fathered children with two other women within months of welcoming his son with Cardi in November.
Meanwhile, the hip-hop titan shared photos from her Christmas celebrations with their son, as well as her other children — 7-year-old daughter Kulture, 4-year-old Wave and 1-year-old daughter Blossom — whom she shares with estranged husband Offset. Diggs lovingly wrote in the comments of his famous girlfriend’s post, “Miss yaw!!! Don’t be squeezing him too tight you making him soft.”
Although some people might take issue with her romance with Diggs, Cardi has been carrying on as normal. On Sunday (Dec. 28), she attended the New England Patriots vs. New York Jets game to cheer on her beau, whose team beat the Jets 42-10.
In April, Cardi will kick off her Little Miss Drama Tour supporting her Am I the Drama? album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in October.
