Cardi B has spoken publicly for the first time about the paternity controversy involving her boyfriend, Stefon Diggs. The rapper, 32, who is currently expecting a child with the NFL star, addressed the speculation during an Instagram Live session that quickly drew widespread attention.
Diggs, 31, has been accused of fathering another infant with a woman named Aileen Lopera. The allegations surfaced after Lopera claimed the wide receiver is the father of her five-month-old daughter, Charliee.
Cardi B used humor and directness to respond to the situation. During her livestream, she quoted Shirley Brown’s 1974 R&B track Woman to Woman, beginning with the line, “Hello Barbara? This is Shirley.” The song tells the story of a woman confronting her husband’s mistress.
The rapper then added her own sharp words. “That’s your baby daddy, bitch? That’s my baby daddy, too. What now? I don’t f–king know. We’ll figure it out, bitch.” Her comments marked the first time she has addressed the swirling rumors and legal proceedings linked to Diggs.
While the remarks did not confirm or deny the allegations, they made clear that Cardi was aware of the situation and unafraid to address it in her characteristically candid style. According to court filings obtained by Page Six, Lopera first sought to legally establish the parental relationship in December 2024, before Charliee’s birth. At that time, she identified Diggs as the father.
Diggs responded months later, in July, saying he was “not certain” whether he was the child’s father. The matter remains unsettled as legal proceedings continue. The developments come at a time when Cardi B and Diggs’ relationship has been under public scrutiny.
Their romance became widely known earlier this year, and news of the rapper’s pregnancy only increased media interest. For Cardi, whose career has often been defined by her outspoken personality and willingness to confront controversy head-on, the Instagram Live session fit her pattern of addressing rumors directly rather than remaining silent.
As the legal process over Charliee’s paternity continues, questions remain about how the case could impact Diggs’ personal life and his high-profile relationship with Cardi B. For now, the rapper’s unfiltered remarks suggest she intends to meet the situation with a mix of blunt honesty and defiance.
