It’s been quite a week for Cardi B and Stefon Diggs.
Just days after the couple turned heads with a very public display of affection, they were caught in an equally public row outside a cafe and gym in Burtonsville, Maryland, on Wednesday.
Video footage circulating online showed Up the rapper, 33, looks visibly upset as she confronted Diggs, 32, who responded by leaning back against a car with his arms folded, seemingly unfazed.
At one point, a man accompanying Cardi put a hand on her shoulder in an apparent attempt to cool things down.
The exchange lasted about ten minutes, according to sources. TMZ was the first to report the incident, with a source telling the outlet that Cardi was overheard directing the phrase “that b-tch is messed up” at Diggs during the confrontation.
The timing makes it all the more striking.
Just last Saturday, Cardi made a surprise appearance at Diggs’ Diggs Deep Foundation Mother’s Day wellness event, where the former New England Patriots wide receiver was photographed kissing her on the cheek and wrapping his arm around her waist.
A source said Us Weekly shortly after the weekend, that Cardi is giving Diggs “a second chance, but not fully committing to him.”
This rather delicate situation may go some way to explaining the tension that spilled over on Wednesday.
The two reportedly split in February, nearly a year after they went public as a couple, with their breakup coinciding with Diggs and the Patriots preparing for the 2026 Super Bowl against the Seattle Seahawks.
The couple also share a son, born last November, meaning that regardless of their relationship status, they remain firmly in each other’s lives.
Whether Wednesday’s argument marks another setback or just the turbulence of two people still figuring things out remains to be seen.
