NFL star Stefon Diggs may have landed himself on the bench with both the New England Patriots and his girlfriend Cardi B.
The veteran wide receiver was filmed on a yacht in Florida surrounded by scantily-clad women over Memorial Day Weekend – even though his rap star girlfriend was nearby.
The viral video captured on Monday showed Diggs lounging shirtless on the boat and chatting with three women, all dressed in ʙικιɴιs, who called him ‘daddy.’
Toward the end of the clip, he produced a plastic bag containing an unknown substance that one of the women took from him.
Despite Cardi B also enjoying the party onboard, the ‘I Like It’ hitmaker was left seething by her NFL beau’s antics, a source revealed to the Daily Mail.
‘Cardi for her part, whether she is there or not, doesn’t want her man flirting with any ladies,’ the insider said. ‘Girls will throw themselves on him all the time, but she wishes he wouldn’t be a scumbag and flirt back.

Digg’s rapper girlfriend Cardi B has been left ‘frustrated’ by the viral clip, an insider revealed
Speculation over a romance between the NFL star and the rapper has swirled since late 2024
‘Cardi has had her fair share of relationship issues, and she doesn’t want it to continue with Stefon. And now that the video went viral, she is really frustrated with him that he would allow that to happen,’ the source continued.
‘He should know better, the fact that he didn’t realize what was going on around him is embarrᴀssing and she is mad at him.’
The Daily Mail has contacted the rap star’s representatives for comment.
Diggs was seen holding court with the gaggle of fawning women as loud music blared in the background.
While it was hard to make out the full conversation, at one point Diggs repeatedly asked the three women, ‘What’s my name?’ and at least two of them responded by calling him ‘daddy.’
The Patriots signed Diggs to a three-year, $69million contract in late March after one season with the Houston Texans. While he is currently recovering from a torn ACL, he may have already landed himself in H๏τ water before the 2025 season has even begun.
New Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel addressed the viral clip on Wednesday, after Diggs was absent from team practice. Vrabel, a former teammate of Tom Brady, claimed that any conversations on the issue would remain in-house.
‘And so the message will be the same for all our players, that we’re trying to make great decisions,’ Vrabel told reporters. ‘And any conversations that I’ve had with Stefon will remain between him and I and the club.’
The insider warned that 31-year-old Diggs could be facing greater punishment for going against the ‘Patriots way.’
‘Mike Vrabel and the Patriots are looking to keep the incident as much in-house as they can from this point forward,’ the source explained.

‘It is already more of a situation than it needs to be and is not the Patriots way, nor is it the look Vrabel wants for the team,’ the source continued.
‘Stefon is coming back from a severe injury and to be seen partying is not exactly the best look, regardless of what is happening. There is enough time to party when he does stuff for the team and its success.’
The insider added: ‘The team will monitor his actions a lot closer and are not afraid to fine him, if need be. They hope the NFL doesn’t get into it and everyone can learn and move on from this and have already started the process of handling it.’
Cardi B and Diggs were rumored to be dating for some time after the ‘Bodak Yellow’ performer separated from husband and former Migos star Offset.
Despite Diggs’ ’embarrᴀssing’ Cardi B with his flirtatious antics, the couple appeared affectionate throughout the sun-soaked outing, with the NFL star even coming to her rescue.
The 32-year-old singer suffered a near wardrobe malfunction, wearing a very skimpy one-piece black swimsuit that flashed the side of her breasts.
At one point, the top portion slid over to expose part of her nipple as she sat on a platform of the boat. But her boyfriend pulled the suit back over her chest.

Speculation surrounding the couple’s romance first surfaced in late 2024. Recent public appearances – ranging from club outings to a courtside date – have only intensified interest in their budding relationship. Neither the singer nor the footballer have officially confirmed it.
Meanwhile, Diggs is yet to suit up for the Patriots, having inked a multi-year deal with the franchise back in March.
He spent last season with the Texans after a four-year stint in Buffalo, which followed five seasons in Minnesota to begin his career.
Diggs was only healthy enough to play in eight games last year, averaging 62 receiving yards per game and finishing with three touchdowns before tearing his ACL in October.
