Cardi B GOES OFF on Men Calling her a 304 for Dating Stefon Diggs & Speaks on her New Relationship

In a bold and unfiltered move, Cardi B recently pushed back against online critics labeling her a “304” — a coded reference to “hoe” in pager-speak — for her high-profile romance with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

During a recent live audio session on X Spaces, the Grammy-winning rapper said she's been receiving a torrent of private and public hate—largely from men—who are ruthlessly casting judgment on her choices since leaving Offset and stepping into a new chapter with Diggs .

"Disgusting hate" from men

After making her relationship with Diggs Instagram-official with intimate yacht photos and affectionate dance clips, Cardi asserted, “I do not understand why I’m getting so much disgusting hate from men,” emphasizing that she was faithful during her seven-year marriage and should not be vilified now .

She acknowledged the public’s harsh reaction to her moving on and firmly defended her personal autonomy, stating she deserves peace and happiness just like anyone else.

Rising from trauma, dating again

Cardi also took the opportunity to reflect on the mental and emotional toll of her marriage to Offset. Her X Spaces session revealed raw, unfiltered emotions—"I was literally losing my mind"—due to ongoing drama, gaslighting, and lies in that relationship.

Her openness included a startling admission: if she had stayed, she "would end up killing" him, signaling just how intense and damaging the situation had become .

Now in a much healthier place, she described her bond with Diggs as “a gorgeous guy loving you from head to toe,” something she hasn’t experienced in years. “Dating is new to me,” she shared, explaining how being in a trauma-informed space and rebuilding self-worth helped her reconnect with love again .

Yacht PDA sparks debate

Her public displays of affection haven’t gone unnoticed. A steamy yacht carousel post captioned “Chapter 5 … Hello Chapter six” set social media ablaze . Fans were divided—some defended her choices, others labeled it "leaving one cheater for another" .

Diggs, for his part, weathered scrutiny after being filmed “flirting with women” aboard the yacht, yet Cardi stayed unapologetically cozy in her captions and photos.

Public outings and family tensions

The couple’s courtside appearance at a Knicks playoff game—with PDA on full display alongside celebrities—further signaled Cardi’s commitment to this new chapter . However, the romance is politically charged. Offset has stepped up his public presence, deactivated his social media after Diggs posted a photo featuring his hairstyle matched with Cardi’s eldest son, Wave .

Tensions escalated but Cardi said she welcomed closure, and hasn’t held back on calling out Offset for neglecting her and her children, especially youngest daughter Blossom .

Fan reactions split

Reactions are split: supportive fans are applauding Cardi’s bravery and newfound joy, while critics and skeptics question whether Diggs is a better choice . Some worry she’s jumping from one drama to the next, though Cardi has made it clear she’s learned, healed, and isn’t afraid to pursue what—or who—makes her happy.
