As of July 2025, Stefon Diggs has not publicly commented on the rumors. His social media accounts still feature posts with Cardi B, and he has not deleted any images of the two together. The couple was last seen vacationing in France in June 2025, where Diggs reportedly rented a medieval castle.


Some fans have speculated that Cardi B's decision to remove posts related to Diggs may have been motivated by promotional plans for her upcoming album. On July 8, 2025, HotNewHipHop noted that the Bronx-born rapper might be clearing her profile in anticipation of her new project, Am I The Drama?, which is scheduled for release on September 19, 2025. The album was first announced in June, and Cardi has teased features and content that she says will "really, really surprise" listeners.
