Cardi B became visibly emotional on stage as she opened her Little Miss Drama Tour and addressed fans just days after sparking split rumors with NFL star Stefon Diggs.
The rapper fought back tears during the first show of the two-month tour Wednesday night at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California.
In a moment captured on TikTok, Cardi paused before addressing the crowd and saying, “I don’t want to get emotional.”
She then offered a short but heartfelt message to fans, adding: “I just want to tell you, don’t let anyone take your happiness away,” before launching into Maroon 5’s Girls like you.
The emotional moment came shortly after speculation grew about the state of her relationship with Diggs after the 2026 Super Bowl.
During the championship game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, Cardi seemed noticeably distant when an ESPN reporter asked if she had any motivational words for Diggs before kickoff.
She simply replied, “Good luck” before leaving.
Although Cardi made a brief appearance during Bad Bunny’s halftime performance, she was seen leaving right after.
Shortly after the game, which ended in a dominant victory for the Seahawks, fans noticed that Cardi and Diggs had unfollowed each other on social media, further fueling breakup rumors.
The apparent switch surprised many supporters, especially since Diggs had previously hinted at a possible commitment.
Speaking to reporters on Super Bowl opening night, he said: “It’s on the agenda. Maybe, right? I’ve got to get [my Super Bowl ring] first.”
At the time, he also spoke warmly of Cardi’s support throughout the football season, calling her an “amazing woman” and expressing how much he appreciated her presence.
He said he appreciated her being there for him, not only at games, but also through constant check-ins and messages before and after games, making sure he was comfortable.
Cardi and Diggs welcomed a son together in November. Cardi is also mother to Kulture, seven, Wave, four, and Blossom, one, whom she shares with ex-husband Offset.
While neither Cardi nor Diggs have publicly confirmed a split, the singer’s emotional opening night performance has left fans worried and wondering what’s next.
For now, Cardi seems to be focused on her tour and leaning into her music as she navigates a very public and personal moment.
