Cardi B is up—so don’t try to bring her down.
After the 33-year-old and her boyfriend Stefon Diggs celebrated Christmas separately—their newborn baby boy spending the holiday with Cardi, while the Patriots player celebrated with two young children he has from other relationships—prompted criticism online, Cardi responded to anyone with raised eyebrows.
“Y’all need to calm down,” she said in a video shared to X on Dec. 29. “Is y’all cool? Y’all been dragging me for three or four days. Y’all become and y’all been a little bit too mean. I can’t change s–t, I can’t go back in time. I already had a baby.”
Emphasizing she can’t un-birth her and Stefon’s baby, she continued, “I don’t know what y’all want me to do. We can only go forward now.”
The “Up” rapper said she’ll need fans to stand by her as she prepares to tour in 2026, explaining that her schedule will be demanding and she’ll be away from her kids, including Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 14 months, whom she shares with estranged husband Offset.
