Cardi B’s Relationship History: From Secret Tattoos to NFL Romance—Who Has the Rap Queen Loved Before Offset?

Cardi B has a new man! The “WAP” rapper isn’t shy about her love life, and now she’s gone public with her latest relationship. But before her headline-making marriage to Offset, who else captured Cardi’s heart?

Back in 2020, eagle-eyed fans noticed Cardi B covering up a mysterious tattoo—a man’s name—with a dazzling butterfly ink. Instantly, Bardi Gang went into detective mode, flooding her social media with questions and theories. It got us wondering: Who are Cardi’s secret exes, and what do we really know about her romantic past?

After some digging, what we found might surprise you! Cardi’s relationships often have a familiar vibe—her romance with Offset isn’t the first time she’s fallen for a fellow rapper.

While Offset has since embraced fatherhood with their daughter Kulture, not all of Cardi’s exes have taken the same path.

Ready for the tea? Here’s everything we know about Cardi’s alleged exes, her new NFL boyfriend, and all the drama in between.

Stefon Diggs (2024 – Present)

Cardi B set the internet ablaze when she was spotted courtside with New England Patriots star Stefon Diggs at a New York Knicks game in May 2025, seemingly confirming their romance. Rumors first swirled in October 2024 after DJ Akademiks claimed the two were seen on dates in NYC.

Cardi played coy at the time, telling fans, “The internet is insane. All these rumors are so crazy. That’s why I don’t want to address it, because this s— is funny. I’m just going to let it ride out, because I think it’s cute. It’s funny. I’m going to let people think what they want to think.”

Offset, her ex-husband, even chimed in on Instagram: “I’m happy for her!!”

Offset (2017 – 2023)

Cardi and Offset’s love story began in 2017, with their first date at Super Bowl LI. By October, they were publicly engaged—though Cardi later revealed they’d secretly tied the knot in September.

Their whirlwind romance was rocked by cheating scandals after Offset’s iCloud was hacked. Despite the drama, Cardi announced her pregnancy live on SNL, and their daughter Kulture was born soon after. But happiness was short-lived: the couple split just months after Kulture’s arrival.

“I’ve been trying to work things out with my baby’s father for a hot minute now,” Cardi confessed in a candid Instagram video in December 2018. “We’re really good friends and we’re really good business partners … we’ve got a lot of love for each other but things just haven’t been working out between us for a long time.”

Though they reconciled, Cardi filed for divorce in September 2020, citing an “irretrievably broken” marriage and seeking primary custody of Kulture. The divorce was dismissed in early 2021, and the couple reunited, later welcoming their second child, Wave Set Cephus.

But by August 2024, Cardi had filed for divorce again—just a day before announcing her third pregnancy with Offset. Their third child arrived a month later, with Offset present at the birth.

A rep confirmed Cardi’s divorce filing on August 1, 2024, with sources saying, “They’ve grown apart. That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else. This is something she wants to do.”

In March 2025, Cardi revealed on X Spaces that Offset continued to harass her. “He sent text messages to somebody I was dealing with of videos of me and him having sex. That’s the kind of s— that I was dealing with,” she shared. “Every time he knows that I go out of town, he harasses me.”
