Fact Check: Did Cardi B make a racist remark about Offset and Stefon Diggs?

ATLANTA, GEORGIA: A rumour has been circulating on social media platforms, sparking controversy that rapper Cardi B made a racially insensitive comment against rapper Offset and footballer Stefon Diggs. The claim has sparked speculations among netizens, with many questioning whether Cardi B actually made such a comment. Let us fact-check it.

Claim: Cardi B made racially insensitive comment about Offset and Stefon Diggs

The claim surfaced with a post by an X account, writing, “Cardi B says she's staying away from dating and getting pregnant by numerous men and being left to raise kids on her own.”

“I will be shifting my focus away from dating from now on and won’t be played, especially by Black guys like Offset and Stefon Diggs but they have good d*ck.”

The post went viral and elicited both enthusiastic and furious responses among both supporters and opponents. While some people believed it to be true, others doubted its authenticity.

Fact Check: No evidence supports the alleged remark

No verified interview, livestream, or official Cardi B social media account has ever included the quote. 

No credible media outlet has commented on it, and hence, the statement is strongly refuted by the lack of sourcing.

Cardi B has long been under intense public scrutiny, particularly regarding her relationship with Offset and rumours linking her to NFL star Stefon Diggs.

Because all three are high-profile figures, their names often trend together online. As a result, fabricated claims can appear more convincing to people who quickly scroll through social media feeds without verifying the information.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs spark breakup rumours

The timing raised eyebrows because of the speculations about a breakup between Cardi B and Stefon Diggs.

After the New England Patriots witnessed a brutal loss in Super Bowl LX, while many expected the rapper to stay until the end of the game, the Grammy-winning artist left halfway through.

Just a few hours after she left the venue, it was clear that the two had unfollowed each other on social media.

The move has left many confused, especially since Diggs recently expressed his admiration for Cardi B.

At a recent press conference, Stefon Diggs praised Cardi B and said, "As a significant other, I really appreciate it...It's a level of appreciation because she's an amazing woman."
