New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has responded to bizarre and viral rumors claiming he broke up with rapper Cardi B due to an unpleasant odor allegedly linked to her BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift).
The two had reportedly been dating for about eight months before fans noticed a social media cleanse—both Diggs and Cardi B scrubbed their accounts of photos of one another. This prompted speculation about a possible split, which quickly took a strange turn.
A satirical sports blog, The Jumper, circulated a fake quote suggesting Diggs was overwhelmed by a “trash bag in July” type of smell coming from Cardi’s cosmetic procedure. The outrageous claim went viral, with fans and trolls weighing in online. Diggs shut down the rumor directly, jumping into The Jumper’s Instagram comments with a blue cap emoji, a widely recognized symbol for calling something a lie.
The rumor was fueled further by reports from various outlets noting that some BBL patients have reported a “musty or sour” odor post-surgery, as mentioned by Dr. Eric Anderson of Impressions Face + Body in an interview with the Daily Mail. But there’s zero evidence linking Cardi B specifically to this issue.
Despite addressing the BBL smell rumor, Diggs has not confirmed or denied the status of his relationship with Cardi. Meanwhile, Cardi B has remained silent on the matter, offering no response to the breakup rumors or the viral joke. Fans online reacted with a mix of humor and disbelief. While some dismissed the gossip as childish, others contributed wild commentary ranging from jokes about long nails and hygiene to blunt statements like, “As long as he was with her, I’m sure he been smelled it.”
So far, both stars have kept the real reason for the potential breakup private, leaving the internet to speculate, joke, and meme their way through another messy celebrity moment.
