Cam Newton delivers bold take on Stefon Diggs cheating rumors with Cardi B

Earlier this week, rumors emerged that Houston Texans star Stefon Diggs had been flirting with rap superstar Cardi B while she was pregnant with her third child with estranged husband Kiari Kendrell Cephus, better known as Offset.

On the "4th&1" show, former Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots star Cam Newton asked his co-host Omari Collins whether he would've entertained the possibility of getting into an intimate relationship with a pregnant woman. When Collins said he'd likely turn down the opportunity, the veteran quarterback responded:

"Whether she was married or not married, pregnant or not pregnant, she's still Cardi mother****ing B and she gonna apply pressure to any mother****er that's out there. I guess that's what she's trying to tell Offset, 'Bro, get your s**t together. I'm Cardi B.'" [From 3:07 to 3:26]

Diggs received flak on social media for indulging in a murky situation with a pregnant woman, but Newton absolved the wide receiver, saying:

"I can't blame Stephon [Diggs]. ...He just doing what a lot of people would do. ...Somebody's trash is somebody's treasure." [From 4:44 to 4:58]

What happened between Stefon Diggs and Cardi B?

In September, rapper Cardi B filed for divorce from husband Offset after seven years of marriage while pregnant with the couple's third child despite no reports of a rift between the two.

During a live stream on Twitch, podcaster DJ Akademiks alleged that Cardi B had found out that Offset had been cheating on her and seemingly confronted him about it, after which Offset went through her phone.

"And basically, when Cardi B was, like, eight months pregnant, Offset went through her phone and caught her texting some dog a*s named Stefon Diggs, some football player," Akademis said.

While Diggs is yet to comment on the allegations, Cardi B addressed them during an Instagram livestream, saying:

“The internet is insane. All these rumors are so f***ing crazy. That’s why I don’t want to address it because I feel like it’s funny. I’mma just let it ride out, cuz I think it’s cute, it’s funny.”

It remains to be seen whether the Texans wide receiver addresses the rumors or remains mum and lets them die down.
