Cardi B is talking the talk as the New England Patriots walk the walk. The hip-hop superstar, who recently confirmed her relationship with Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, didn’t hold back after ESPN analysts predicted the Houston Texans would advance to the AFC Championship.

New England capitalized on multiple turnovers, including four interceptions from Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, while clutch plays from Diggs and Kayshon Boutte turned the game decisively in the Patriots’ favor. When the final whistle blew on a 28-16 win, Cardi B took to X to express her excitement. “THEY DIDN’T BELIEVE IN US !!! I LIKE US!!!!! WE ALL WE GOT!!!!! WE ALL WE NEED !!!!” she wrote, pairing it with a playful video that added, “What are you talking about? Nothing!”
