In 2025, the personal life of rapper Cardi B (real name Belcalis Almanzar) has become increasingly intertwined with legal turmoil surrounding her boyfriend, NFL star Stefon Diggs. What began as a high‑profile romance has morphed into a tangled web of allegations, countersuits, and questions about fidelity, violence, and ultimately, the strength and viability of their relationship. Below is a detailed investigative narrative of the events, the legal claims, and the central question:When might Cardi leave that man?

The Romance, the Spotlight, and the Scrutiny

Cardi B, already a major figure in the music world, publicly confirmed her budding relationship with Stefon Diggs in mid‑2025, after rumors had swirled for months. Their coupling drew media and fan attention, especially because Cardi was simultaneously navigating her public divorce from Offset while expecting her fourth child—her first with Stefon.

That spotlight made the relationship far from private. As the pair became more visible together, any negative development in Stefon’s personal or legal life would inevitably cast shadows on their future.

The Legal Battle: Ex‑Girlfriend Sues Stefon (and He Counters)

The Initial Lawsuit

In 2025, Stefon Diggs filed a civil suit against a former relationship partner,Mulan Hernandez (also known as Mia Jones), alleging assault, extortion, property damage, and conspiracy. In his version of events, Hernandez punched him several times, smashed his gaming equipment, destroyed a high‑value watch, and threatened him with a gun, purportedly as part of an extortion scheme.

Diggs claims that Hernandez and her associate, Brianna Mack, orchestrated this to manipulate him financially and threaten his celebrity and professional reputation.

The Ex’s Countersuit: She Claims Assault, Concussion & Pregnancy

Hernandez responded by filing a countersuit. She claims that on June 7, 2024, Diggs attacked her from behind, striking her in the back of the head, causing a concussion. She also asserts that at the time, she was over one month pregnant with his child. Further, she says Diggs attempted to force her into signing a non‑disclosure agreement (NDA), via his assistant, in order to silence her and prevent the incident from becoming public.

Hernandez’s filing seeks damages in the range of $250,000 to $1 million, citing medical expenses, emotional distress, and reputational harm.

Diggs’ Denials & Disputes

Diggs, through his legal team, vehemently denies Hernandez’s claims. He paints an alternative narrative: he asserts Hernandez initiated the violence, destroyed his property, and then attempted to spin her injuries into an extortion case. Regarding the pregnancy claim, he disputes that she was living with him or that the relationship ever reached that level of seriousness at that time.

Both parties have locked into opposing narratives, and at present there is no public court decision resolving the core allegations.

The Paternity Suit that Adds to the Chaos

As if the assault and counterclaims were not enough, another legal layer emerged in 2025: apaternity lawsuit. A modelAileen Lopera (also known by the social media name Lord Gisselle) filed a petition asserting that Stefon is the father of her daughter, born in April 2025.

Lopera’s suit, filed in December 2024 while pregnant, seeks legal and physical custody, child support, and accounting of pregnancy and birth expenses. In response, Diggs has requested a DNA test and—if paternity is confirmed—has expressed willingness for joint custody and shared financial responsibility.

This paternity suit places additional pressure on an already fraught relationship, because while Cardi is pregnant with his child, there is now a serious question of whether he is fathering a child with another woman in parallel.

Key Issues and Red Flags

Looking deeply at the available public record, several recurring themes and red flags emerge:

Disputed Narratives & Lack of Clarity

The cases are filled with dueling accounts. Hernandez claims she was assaulted while pregnant; Diggs contends the opposite and accuses her of extortion. Without a court’s ruling (or published evidence such as medical reports, surveillance footage, or contemporaneous witnesses), the truth remains opaque.

The Violence & Pregnancy Claim

If Hernandez’s claim that she was pregnant at the time of attack is true, that would heighten the legal and moral stakes of the alleged assault, especially since she claims a concussion resulted. But Diggs denies that she was pregnant or living with him then. This makes the pregnancy claim—if proven—potentially powerful evidence; if disproven, it may damage her credibility.

Reputational & Financial Strategies

Diggs, as a professional athlete with public visibility, faces enormous exposure if negative verdicts or findings emerge. Hernandez’s demand for up to $1 million, along with public allegations, could significantly tarnish his brand, endorsements, and public image.

Conversely, from Hernandez’s side, accusing a star athlete may be viewed by skeptics as a tactic to force a settlement or extract public attention. The attempted NDA to silence her, if true, deepens that suspicion of a reputational coverup.

The Paternity Suit’s Destabilizing Effect

The parallel paternity suit undercuts any sense of exclusivity or trust in the relationship between Cardi and Stefon. If he is confirmed as father to another woman’s child, that could cause serious emotional, relational, and logistical strain.

Cardi’s Own Legal History & Public Allegations

Not to be overlooked: Cardi B herself has been embroiled in legal cases over assault allegations. Notably, in 2025 she was sued by a security guard who claimed she hit, spat upon, and scratched her in 2018; Cardi was ultimately found not liable. She has also been sued for allegedly throwing a microphone at someone in 2023. These past issues underscore that both parties have legal experience and awareness of public perception in disputes.

So … When Might Cardi Leave Him?

Given all of this, can one reasonably speculate: When might Cardi B leave Stefon Diggs? Of course, no one outside their inner circle can predict with certainty. But based on patterns and red flags, some conditions might push Cardi toward an exit.

Here are possible tipping points:

Credible Legal Outcome Against Diggs.>If a court finds in favor of Hernandez—proving assault or paying damages—or confirms the pregnancy claim, that would substantially weaken any equilibrium Cardi might feel in the relationship.

DNA Confirmation in the Paternity Suit.
If it is established that Stefon fathered a child with another woman (while dating Cardi), that could erode trust and become a dealbreaker.

Further Allegations or New Lawsuits.If additional women come forward with credible claims, or new evidence surfaces, piling up legal problems may shift the calculus.

Public Backlash and Brand Damage.As a major brand in music and media, Cardi must weigh the reputational cost of staying with a partner under legal threat.

Emotional Burden & Erosion of Safety.Regardless of legal outcomes, if Cardi feels emotionally manipulated, unsafe, or marginalized—especially while pregnant—that may prompt her to walk away.

Strategic Considerations During Divorce from Offset.Because Cardi is finalizing matters with her ex, Offset, she may prefer clarity and fewer complications going forward.

In short, the more legally and publicly untenable Stefon’s position becomes, the greater the likelihood that Cardi will reassess and possibly end the relationship.

Conclusion

The saga ofCardi B and Stefon Diggs in 2025 is far from a romantic fairy tale. Instead, it is a developing legal drama, with claims of violence, extortion, counterclaims, and a simultaneous paternity suit. Each side is staking out their narrative.
