Cardi B, Offset & Stefon Diggs In MESSY Legal Situation Over Cardi’s Pregnancy
Things just got even messier in the world of Cardi B. The Bronx rap superstar is making headlines again — this time not just for her music, her baby bump, or her rollercoaster love life — but for a potential legal storm brewing between her, estranged husband Offset, and her on-again, off-again boyfriend, NFL star Stefon Diggs.
Cardi’s Pregnancy Bombshell
As Media Take Out first reported, Cardi is currently pregnant, and by all accounts the biological father of the baby is believed to be Stefon Diggs. Cardi and the Buffalo Bills wide receiver have been dating on and off for about a year, but their relationship has been anything but smooth.
Sources close to the couple say Stefon has been caught cheating on Cardi multiple times with different women. Still, Cardi has surprisingly managed to keep her cool, staying off social media and avoiding the public meltdowns fans might have expected.
For now, things between Cardi and Stefon appear to be steady — but anyone who follows this saga knows that their status can change overnight.
The Offset Problem
Here’s where the drama really heats up: Cardi and Offset are still legally married. And under U.S. law, that fact matters more than many people realize.
There’s something called the “marital presumption.” It’s a legal principle that says any child born during a marriage is presumed to be the child of the husband — in this case, Offset.
This presumption can be challenged with evidence like a DNA test, but here’s the catch: even if a DNA test proves that Stefon is the biological father, a judge can still decide that it’s in the child’s “best interests” to legally keep Offset listed as the father.
In other words, DNA doesn’t always decide fatherhood — the judge does.
How This Could Play Out
That legal nuance could create some very sticky situations for Cardi, Offset, and Stefon. If Cardi and Stefon split before the baby is born, Cardi could technically put Offset’s name on the birth certificate.
Why would she do that? For one, it would mean that all her children share the same legal father. Cardi and Offset already share two kids together — daughter Kulture and son Wave. Putting Offset on this new baby’s paperwork would keep the “family unit” legally consistent.
But there’s another angle too: child support. If Offset is legally named the father, he could be on the hook financially for the next 18 years, regardless of DNA.
What About Stefon?
Stefon, meanwhile, would be in an awkward spot. If Offset remains the legal father, Stefon could technically be cut out of paternity rights altogether unless Cardi allows him access. That means no legal say in the child’s upbringing and no obligation to pay a dime in support.
For a man who’s been accused of stepping out on Cardi multiple times, that might sound like a blessing. But if Stefon is truly trying to build a life with Cardi, being shut out of fatherhood could create new tension between them.
A Messy Triangle
The situation is a perfect storm of romance, betrayal, and legal complications. Cardi may be glowing with her pregnancy now, but as one insider put it, “She holds the cards. If things go left with Stefon, she could make Offset the legal dad in a heartbeat.”
And let’s not forget: Offset just released an album dragging Cardi in his lyrics, and their divorce still hasn’t been finalized. That makes the possibility of him being locked into another 18 years of financial responsibility even more explosive.
Final Word
For now, Cardi, Offset, and Stefon Diggs remain quiet publicly about the legal gray area surrounding her pregnancy. But behind the scenes, lawyers are surely preparing for every possible outcome.
If love turns sour between Cardi and Stefon before the baby arrives, this situation could end up being one of the messiest celebrity paternity cases we’ve seen in years.
