Cardi B wasted no time in hitting back at a group of ESPN analysts who all predicted boyfriend Stefon Diggs’ New England Patriots would lose to the Houston Texans on Sunday.
Diggs scored a touchdown and caught four passes as the Patriots won 28-16 to advance to the AFC Championship Game and move to just one win from the Super Bowl.
But there wasn’t much hope for them in the ESPN studio before kickoff.
Analysts Mina Kimes, Ryan Clark, Hannah Storm, Dan Orlovsky and Marcus Spears all backed the Texans to pull off a shock win in Foxborough, albeit with a very close score line.
So when Diggs and the Patriots won, his girlfriend Cardi B immediately went to social media to take a shot at the ESPN crew.
In a video captioned ‘THEY DIDN’T BELIEVE IN US !!! I LIKE US!!!!! WE ALL WE GOT!!!!! WE ALL WE NEED !!!!’, the rapper screams: ‘What are you talking about? Nothing. Nothing.’

All five analysts backed the Houston Texans to beat Diggs’ New England Patriots on Sunday
The artist only began dating the wide receiver in early 2025, going public with their relationship at a New York Knicks game in May before welcoming a baby together in November.
But Diggs was only able to play on Sunday after being granted a postponement of his arraignment as he battles legal troubles.
The 32-year-old is accused of felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery after an alleged incident involving his personal chef last month.
Through the Patriots, it was revealed Diggs ‘categorically denies’ the allegations against him and as per Mark Daniels of MassLive.com, he added: ‘It’s been an emotional time. It’s definitely an open case so I can’t even say anything about it.’
Diggs is available for their postseason games after being granted a postponement of his arraignment. He made the request due to a ‘previously scheduled professional commitment’ that day.
His new arraignment is set for five days after the Super Bowl, which takes place on February 8th. It had previously been set for January 23rd.
The postponement means that Diggs will be available to the Patriots throughout the entirety of the postseason. It also means he has avoided the NFL Commissioner’s Exempt List, which is a paid leave status for players in unique circumstances.
Diggs is accused of slapping and choking his personal chef during a financial argument at his residence in the Boston suburb of Dedham on December 2.
According to the incident report provided to the Daily Mail, the woman said Diggs entered her unlocked bedroom, grabbed her from behind and ‘tried to choke her using the crook of his elbow around her neck.’

She told police on December 16 she feared she ‘could have blacked out,’ before being thrown down onto the bed by Diggs. The accuser initially hesitated to identify Diggs to police ‘due to his fame,’ according to the incident report.
The four-time Pro Bowl selection made a number of headlines in 2025.
One bombshell allegation was made by social media influencer and clothing designer Chris Blake Griffith, who claimed Diggs tried to drug him, made unwanted sexual advances and later conspired to kill him.
In response, Diggs accused Griffith of concocting a lurid taleand sued him for defamation. Griffith has since filed a counterclaim, standing by his accusations against the former All-Pro.
In May, Diggs was seen partying aboard a boat in a viral clipthat showed him handling a pink substance believed to be drugs. He would ultimately discuss the incident with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, who has agreed to keep the conversation private, but was never punished by the team or league.
