If there’s one thing NFL Twitter is good at, it’s turning serious news into an endless roast session. This week, Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs became the latest target, after news about him expecting a baby with Cardi B went public. Instead of a wave of congratulations, fans swarmed the replies with jokes about child support, money, and “chasing the bag.”
The comments section quickly became a comedy stage though Diggs probably isn’t laughing.

As soon as the news broke, the replies filled with sharp jabs. One fan kicked things off with a blunt, “You f**ed up Diggs,” setting the tone for what followed. Another piled on with, “He gonna be paying tons of child support,” making it clear that financial responsibility was the biggest punchline.

One of the harshest replies came from a user who wrote, “Poor kid’s going to fall out of that WAP and hit its head on the floor.” It was a brutal mix of humor and cruelty that summed up how little sympathy fans were offering.Diggs, who is one of the NFL’s top-paid receivers, was immediately hit with accusations that this situation was more about money than family. A fan tweeted, “He tryna get that bag 💰,” suggesting that Diggs’ partner might benefit financially more than anything else.The comments leaned into a long-running fan narrative that athletes often end up in expensive child support battles after high-profile relationships.
For Diggs, the internet already decided the script before the story even unfolded.

Not every comment was negative. A small handful of fans dropped supportive replies like “Congrats” or called him “A Real 1.” But compared to the wave of sarcastic, trolling responses, those messages barely made a dent in the overall tone of the thread. This isn’t the first time Diggs has trended for off-the-field drama. Known for his fiery competitiveness on the field, he’s also been in headlines for rumored relationship issues and cryptic social media posts.
With his high-profile status, every move gets magnified and this baby news turned into yet another internet spectacle.At the end of the day, the reaction says less about Diggs himself and more about the internet’s culture. Fans love to mix sports, gossip, and humor, and Diggs’ baby news was the perfect storm for that. Instead of focusing on family joy, the replies fixated on child support, money, and whether Diggs had “fumbled” off the field.Also read - Justin Herbert vs Madison Beer: Who has the bigger net worth in 2025?
