On Tuesday, June 3, Cardi B opened up about her new relationship with Stefon Diggs in an X Spaces chat with her fans. Explaining the signs that convinced her to give Stefon a chance, the WAP rapper said,
"I'm with the person I am with now because... I just felt like God was telling me to give him a chance, which is so weird... There were times when I used to be depressed, and I was, like, sad, and my mind just kept going in circles and circles and circles."
Cardi continued,
"And for some reason, when I had those episodes, that's when a motherf**ker would hit me up or text me out of the blue, checking on me and stuff like that. And I'm like, you know what? Maybe I should just give it a chance."
Cardi B shared how her relationship with NFL player Stefon Diggs began as a friendship, with both taking time to get to know each other. She said the new relationship makes her feel "young" and "refreshed" after dealing with lies, cheating, and gaslighting from her ex-husband, Offset, which left her feeling hurt and drained.

Cardi B said she was losing her mind in her marriage with Offset
Elsewhere on her X Spaces stream, Cardi B also talked about how "mentally drained" she was in her marriage with Offset, claiming to struggle with eating and getting frequent headaches. The Rodeo rapper added,
"I was literally losing my mind. And I gave it chances after chances after chances after chances after chances after chances."
Continuing, Cardi said that if she had continued to stay with her ex-husband, she "was going to end up going to jail, ‘cause I was going to end up killing them. Seriously, with my own bare hands. ‘Cause it was just getting so… it was just getting too much."
The mother-of-three also addressed the "disgusting hate" she was getting from netizens about her life choices online, claiming that she was being called a h*e despite being "faithful" to Offset for the duration of their marriage.
