Rapper 50 Cent stirred up one of the wildest pop‑culture moments of Super Bowl LX when he took to Instagram with a blunt, hilarious jab aimed at NFL star Stefon Diggs.
“Can you imagine waking up this morning and you done lost this b!tch and the Super Bowl,” 50 wrote, then added: “I would tell everybody get away from me, have a drink and go back to sleep. LOL.”
The post went viral in seconds, blending sports, celebrity romance rumors, and social media trolling into a single punchline.
That comment dropped just as rumors were swirling online about a possible split between Diggs and rapper Cardi B. 50’s timing was impeccable in the internet sense, sparking memes, reposts, and hours of discussion across social media.
What’s Behind the Rumors Between Cardi B and Stefon Diggs

The timing of 50 Cent’s troll made sense only because of the context. In the days around the Super Bowl, fans noticed that Cardi B and Diggs had seemingly unfollowed each other on Instagram. That alone was enough to trigger breakup speculation online. Neither Cardi nor Diggs has publicly confirmed any split, but observations about their social media behavior added fuel to the fire.
Cardi also raised eyebrows when a reporter asked her on Super Bowl weekend if she had an inspiring message for Diggs ahead of the game, and she instead offered a curt “Good luck” before walking away, a moment that fans seized on.
The couple first went public in mid‑2025 after being seen together courtside at a New York Knicks playoff game, and later confirmed they were expecting a child with a social media announcement. Cardi gave birth to their son in November of that year, but the pair’s relationship has been a frequent topic of online speculation since.
50 Cent’s History With Pop Culture Commentary

50 Cent’s Instagram post wasn’t his first foray into public trolling. The “In da Club” rapper has spent years commenting on, and sometimes poking fun at, cultural moments both within and beyond music. 50’s persona thrives on sharp humor and timing.
50 Cent has pretty much made celebrity trolling a signature part of his public persona long before this Diggs‑related moment. Over the years, he’s used Instagram and Twitter/X to poke at everyone from fellow rappers to Hollywood stars, turning playful jabs and bold takes into headline fodder.
He famously roasted Ja Rule during their long‑running feud by turning every flip of their rivalry into memes and merch, and he once publicly mocked Rick Ross during their back‑and‑forth rap battles with humorous captions and visuals that fans still quote years later. He also took aim at Floyd Mayweather with viral tweets after their own beef, and he’s unleashed commentary during awards seasons and major events that consistently blur the line between playful and pointed.
Not forgetting he’s been trading barbs with Sean “Diddy” Combs for nearly two decades, turning what once started as music‑industry tension into one of hip‑hop’s most infamous beefs. In recent years, 50 has leaned into this reputation with branded campaigns, like a well‑timed DoorDash Super Bowl commercial that leaned into his “King of Trolls” energy, essentially turning his social banter into performance art.
That track record isn’t just about feuds; it’s about timing, delivery, and knowing exactly when a cultural moment is about to explode online. His way of weighing in is often casual yet pointed, and this instance was no different.
It’s that blend of bravado and comedy that has kept 50 relevant across decades. Even when he’s not releasing new music, his commentary alone makes headlines.
NFL Star, Public Figure, and “Super Bowl Loss” Punchline

Stefon Diggs, 32, is widely known as one of the elite wide receivers in the NFL, starring for the New England Patriots during the 2025 season. His team’s 29–13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX gave fans plenty to talk about and that includes things like celebrity trolling.
Diggs has also dealt with serious off‑field attention. Earlier in late 2025, he faced criminal charges related to alleged assault, and a civil lawsuit, both of which he has denied. These legal matters added to the public’s intense scrutiny of his personal life, especially during this recent spotlighted moment.
On top of the sports and legal headlines, Diggs also shares his personal life with fans. He has children from prior relationships and a new baby with Cardi B, which has kept both his professional and personal timelines in the conversation.
Cardi B’s Roller‑Coaster Romance Narrative

Cardi B, born Belcalis Almanzar, has never been one to let life happen quietly or without comment from the public. She gained fame through music and personality, evolving into one of the most influential artists of her generation. Her high‑profile personal life has been part of her story for years.
Before Diggs, Cardi was married to fellow rapper Offset, with whom she shares three children. That marriage, and the back‑and‑forth drama that came with it, was widely covered until she filed for divorce in 2024. Her relationship with Diggs, which became public in 2025, was viewed by many as a fresh chapter.
The birth of their son in November 2025 was celebrated by fans worldwide, seen as a significant milestone in their romance. Fast forward to early 2026, and social media interest has shifted to the status of that relationship itself.
Why Social Media Unfollowings Matter in Celebrity Relationships

Nowadays, unfollowing someone online isn’t just a technical action; it’s a statement, or at least perceived as one. The fact that Cardi and Diggs unfollowed each other shortly after the Super Bowl only intensified speculation that something was amiss.
Fans felt this was especially noteworthy because they had previously been affectionate on social media and public appearances. It’s that contrast that drives gossip and commentary. Neither of them has officially addressed the rumors, which leaves room for interpretation, and for people like 50 Cent to step into the conversation with a joke that speaks to both loss and relationship drama.
This Isn’t the First Time Rumors Have Circulated

Even before the recent split chatter, rumors about Cardi and Diggs’ relationship status have popped up from time to time. For example, there have been playful social media moments between them in the past, even joking exchanges about cosmetic misconceptions, that showed they could laugh at online speculation.
But as fans and gossip watchers know, unsourced screenshots or false claims sometimes spread quickly online, and not all tell the full story. One such fake screenshot claiming Cardi called Diggs “a disgrace to the game” was debunked by fact‑checkers, showing how quickly misinformation spreads around celebrity news.
That backdrop of rumor and response helps explain why 50 Cent’s simple Instagram troll resonated so widely. It was landing in a moment already charged with online attention. What made 50 Cent’s comment stand out wasn’t just the punchline; it was the timing. The overlap of a major sporting event, a rumored relationship shift, and a public celebrity reaction created the perfect storm for virality.
Fans enthusiastically shared the post, turning it into memes and reaction videos across social platforms, which in turn pulled 50 Cent’s humor into news cycles far beyond the original Instagram post. As of now, Cardi B and Stefon Diggs have not addressed 50 Cent’s post directly, nor have they confirmed any split. That leaves the story unresolved in the public eye, fueling more speculation and social debate.
Rumors in celebrity culture move fast, especially when online moments intersect with real life. But one thing is clear: with 50 Cent’s comment as the latest twist, this chapter is far from over.
