The last time Stefon Diggs took a sudden hiatus from social media was in 2023, just days before the Buffalo Bills faced the Jets in Week 1. At the time, he downplayed the move, saying, “I appreciate the banter… but I just wanted to fly under the radar – just like my team.” Diggs has been known to pull the plug on his social media presence before, and in most instances, it didn’t cause much of a stir.
But this time, things are different. His recent disappearance from Instagram comes amid swirling rumors linking him to Grammy Award-winning rapper Cardi B, and the timing has raised eyebrows.
These rumors reached a boiling point when DJ Akademiks, a popular internet personality and commentator, dropped a bombshell during a livestream earlier this week. Whether there’s any truth to his claims is up for debate, but the allegations quickly went viral. Akademiks claimed that Offset, Cardi B’s now ex-husband and fellow rapper, found out that Cardi was texting Stefon Diggs while she was eight months pregnant with their third child.
At the time, Cardi B was still married to Offset, though she had filed for divorce for the second time just a few months earlier on July 31.
Akademiks didn’t stop there. He also alleged that Diggs has had intimate relationships with several other women who were in relationships, saying that the NFL star was involved with “five other” people’s significant others.

According to Akademiks, Cardi B was reportedly furious about Offset’s numerous infidelities and wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine by texting Diggs.
Despite these explosive claims, Akademiks later backtracked somewhat, clarifying that he had no concrete evidence of Cardi B and Diggs engaging in a physical relationship. He suggested that the rapper might have been using Diggs to get under Offset’s skin after discovering his cheating ways, and that her actions may have been purely to stir jealousy.
Regardless of the specifics, the story quickly took on a life of its own, spreading like wildfire across social media.
In response to the public frenzy, Diggs made his Instagram account private, archiving most of his posts. His account, which has 1.8 million followers, now features just three posts. Fans and followers immediately took notice, fueling speculation that the wide receiver was attempting to distance himself from the scandal or avoid further scrutiny.
Some wild rumors even began circulating, suggesting that Cardi B and Diggs were currently dating—though those rumors appear to be just that, baseless speculation. Cardi B recently welcomed her third child, and despite the ongoing drama with Offset, she has not publicly commented on her rumored involvement with Diggs.
The relationship between Offset and Cardi B has been rocky for some time. Cardi herself has expressed regret about her relationship with one of the Migos rappers during a recent livestream, though she also praised Offset’s efforts as a parent, despite their turbulent romance. But what does all of this mean for Stefon Diggs?
As of now, there is no clear indication of how these rumors have impacted Diggs’ personal life, or whether they will affect his current relationship. For those wondering, Diggs has been linked to actress La’Shontae Heckard, known for her appearances in music videos with Busta Rhymes and Ne-Yo in the early 2000s, as well as roles in TV shows like The Game and #BlackAF. Diggs and Heckard have reportedly been together since 2019, but details about their relationship have been kept relatively private.
Heckard, who started her career in Korea before transitioning to Hollywood, has not made any public comments about the rumors involving Diggs and Cardi B. As for Diggs, it appears he is focused on his football career and helping the Texans offense shine on the field, despite the off-field drama.
Whether or not there’s any truth to the rumors about Diggs and Cardi B, one thing is certain: the internet is buzzing with speculation, and the situation continues to evolve.
As of now, neither Diggs nor Cardi B has publicly addressed the rumors, leaving fans and followers to speculate about what’s really going on behind the scenes.
