UPDATE: On Christmas Day, December 25, 2023, Cardi B’s close friend Ken Barbie provided crucial insights into why rapper Cardi B and her newborn son did not celebrate the holiday with NFL star Stefon Diggs. This revelation comes following widespread speculation about the couple’s family dynamics.
Ken Barbie, born Ken Davis, took to Twitter to clarify that both Cardi and Stefon have children from previous relationships. He tweeted, “Cardi has her own kids, Stefon does too,” referencing Cardi’s three children: Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 1. He further elaborated on the complexities of blending families, stating, “If baby moms are on some ‘my kids can’t come unless I’m there’ then that’s just what it is.”
This news follows a trend of public interest in Diggs’ personal life. Ken Barbie emphasized the ongoing challenges as the couple navigates their new relationship, saying, “They’re still a fairly new couple, so s–t would just have to be figured over time.” He urged the public to stop acting surprised about the situation, referencing reports that Diggs has fathered multiple children in recent months.
Moreover, Ken mentioned, “If Stefon didn’t spend the holiday with his kids, that would be insane,” highlighting the need for both parents to manage their responsibilities. He pointed out that Cardi, who is currently in the process of divorcing rapper Offset, has her own set of children to care for.
On Christmas, Diggs, aged 32, opted to spend the festivities with the mothers of his other children instead of Cardi and their newborn son, who was born last month. Social media posts showed him with his baby boy, shared with K’yanna Barber, and his two-year-old daughter, Shiloh, from a previous relationship with Kennedy.
In a twist, Ken also addressed the paternity suit filed against Diggs by Instagram model Aileen Lopera, confirming him as the father of her newborn, Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera. Lopera was notably absent from Diggs’ Christmas celebrations, raising further questions about his family dynamics.
Cardi B and Stefon Diggs first sparked romance rumors in February 2023 and made their relationship Instagram-official in June 2023. The couple’s journey has been filled with ups and downs, as Cardi navigates her divorce while parenting her three children.
As the new year approaches, the dynamics of this blended family continue to unfold. Ken finished his remarks by stating, “There’s really no breaking news here but I’m glad y’all finally wrap it up in a bow heading into the new year. NEXT.”
