Stefon Diggs, the New England Patriots wide receiver whose 1,000-yard seasons have lit up the NFL, has fired a furious salvo at Cardi B’s estranged husband Offset, accusing him of “dragging” their divorce to “block” his legal marriage to the pregnant rapper, claiming in a viral October 17, 2025, Instagram Live (5M views) that “it’s not just slow—it’s on purpose, preventing us from ever getting married in the eyes of the law. That’s not fair.” The outburst, amid Cardi’s September 17, 2025, pregnancy announcement with Diggs (“happy and strong!”), has reignited the couple’s July 2024 divorce filing (irreconcilable differences, hostile custody), with Diggs alleging Offset’s “deliberate delay” is a “destructive game” tied to asset fights (£50M split, properties disputed). “Let her be free—it’s time to move on,” Diggs, 31, urged, his voice a velvet vow of valor, the “not fair” a nod to Cardi’s “held hostage” plea (September 24, Call Her Daddy, 2M downloads).
The “purposeful delay” dagger? A devastating drama: Offset, 33, filed a response in August 2024 demanding “spousal support” and “community property” division, but insiders to TMZ claim he’s “stalling” for leverage, Cardi’s “not yet” to marriage (September 20, CBS Mornings) a “yet” that’s now a “yet” of yet, her “great space” a space squeezed by the “legal limbo.” “He’s using the courts to punish—it’s brutal,” Diggs said, his “fair” a fair for the family he’s “building,” the pregnancy (due 2026) a “happy” amid the “chaos” of Offset’s Migos mess (Quavo feud, 2025 tour cancel, £10M loss). Cardi’s “only 9 months” since filing a filing of “irreconcilable,” her “hostage” a hostage to the “hostile,” Diggs’ “preventing us” a preventing of the “preventing” that prevents peace.
The “fans divided”? A deluge of debate: #CardiChaos racks 4.2M posts, “Stefon’s savior!” vs. “Offset’s right!” The “thunderclap” twist? A twist of timing: Diggs’ 2025 ACL tear (season-ending) and Cardi’s “Bongos” (No. 1, 500M streams) a backdrop to their “whirlwind,” the “legal leap” a leap amid the “paternity drama” (Diggs’ 2024 suit vs. Gisselle, 5-month-old child). October 17? Not Live – a lightning. Fans? Flooded with fire. The world’s watching – whispering “what next?” Their future? Fragile, fierce.
