Cardi B isn’t holding back. While pregnant with her first child by NFL star Stefon Diggs she addressed allegations that he fathered a baby with model Aileen Lopera also known as Lord Gisselle. On Instagram Live she quoted the song Woman to Woman by Shirley Brown as she confronted the swirling rumors. She said “That’s your baby daddy, bitch? That’s my baby daddy, too. What now? I don’t f-king know. We’ll figure it out, bitch.”
The story leading up to this moment is complicated. Lopera filed a petition in December 2024 in Los Angeles Superior Court to establish legal and physical custody of her then unborn child named Charliee with Diggs named as the parent. She asked that Diggs be given visitation rights only. She also requested that he cover the costs of the pregnancy birth and her legal expenses.
Diggs responded in July saying he was not certain whether he was the father and asked for a DNA test. Shortly afterwards a video emerged of him leaving a hospital carrying a baby carrier. That stirred speculation though Lopera’s attorney insisted the woman in the video was not her client and that no car seat had been provided to the baby in the footage. Lopera’s legal team has made it clear that their expectation is that Diggs will acknowledge Charliee and provide financial and paternal support.
Meanwhile Cardi had just announced she was expecting a child with Diggs. She already has three children with her estranged husband Offset. Diggs is the father of a daughter named Nova from a prior relationship. The tension of public scrutiny appears to have escalated since the paternity suit and video surfaced.
Cardi’s response seems aimed not only at defending her relationship with Diggs but also at asserting her voice in a situation that many other narratives are trying to shape. She referenced betrayal and the overlapping claims in a manner that suggests she wants the world to see she won’t be silent while others attempt to define what’s happening. Her tone registers anger confusion and determination. She made it clear she expects to navigate the complexity even as she is going through pregnancy with a very public partner and with historic personal challenges already in her life including her separation from Offset.
Fans and media observers see this as yet another chapter in a life that has often played out in headlines. This time though the stakes feel higher. Pregnancy adds emotional and physical weight to every remark every rumor every response. For Cardi the stakes include protecting her peace her image and making sure that her unborn child is not used as a prop in gossip. For Diggs the suit and claims test his public posture especially amid calls for accountability and transparency.
Lopera’s attorney Tamar Arminak has emphasized that while the video stirred public interest the legal claims remain clear. They want recognition and support for Charliee. They insist the responsibility lies not only in naming the parent but in caring for the child.
What emerges from this conflict is a bigger conversation about accountability relationships fame and the cost of personal lives lived under constant media gaze. Cardi B has long been public in her life in her relationships and her struggles. This moment marks another declaration that even when things are messy she will speak on her own terms. Her words echo louder because in many ways those words are all she can control amidst swirling allegations external demands and public opinion.
When she said “we’ll figure it out bitch” it came across not only as confrontation but choice. A refusal to be cornered or shamed. It signals that while she may be pregnant with Diggs’ child she is also pregnant with expectation. Expectation for clarity truth respect and perhaps peace.
