Cardi B has come to the defense of her boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, after the NFL star was hit with strangulation charges tied to an alleged altercation with his personal chef in December.
The Bronx rapper broke her silence on the matter on Monday (Jan. 5) in a since-deleted tweet with a photo of an alleged text message exchange with the victim.
“Not once has that woman said anything to me about being touched.. NOT ONCE!! Mind you, we was talking every single day until she left that house and she JUST wrote me this,” she wrote.
Cardi replied: “But I’m gonna let the courts handle this s—t and when it gets handled I want all yall talking s—t on your f—n knees with apologies just as loud as the way yall been harrassing over a lie.. and I put that on my two month old son in the name of the lord!! That’s how confident I am.”
The female chef reported the alleged incident to law enforcement on Dec. 16. She claimed that an argument over an alleged salary dispute turned physical on Dec. 2. Diggs was charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery charges on Dec. 30.
Diggs is scheduled to be arraigned in a Massachusetts court on Jan. 23, which would be two days prior to the AFC Championship game if the wide receiver’s New England Patriots advance in the NFL Playoffs. “It’s definitely an open case, so I can’t even say anything about it,” Diggs said, briefly addressing the case and allegations against him in what he described as a “very emotional time.”
“Stefon Diggs categorically denies these allegations. They are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, and were never investigated — because they did not occur,” Diggs’ attorney David Meier said. “The timing and motivation for making the allegations is crystal clear: they are the direct result of an employee-employer financial dispute that was not resolved to the employee’s satisfaction. Stefon looks forward to establishing the truth in a court of law.”
While Diggs gears up for the playoffs, Cardi B is hard at work rehearsing for her Little Miss Drama Tour, which kicks off in February.
“Tour is going to be amazing,” Cardi promised during an X Spaces on Monday. “Everything is gonna go great. All the things that’s been getting thrown at me, that’s just the devil. The devil always come around when you’re gonna hit new levels.”
