Who is K’yanna Barber? Stefon Diggs’ alleged baby mama who also inspired Drake’s “In My Feelings”

Every now and then, pop culture serves up a crossover no one saw coming and this week, it’s straight out of the “wait, what?” files. NFL star Stefon Diggs is being linked to K’yanna Barber, the woman long rumored to be Drake’s “Kiki” from his 2018 smash hit “In My Feelings.” Yep, the same song that had the whole world doing the “Kiki, do you love me?” challenge might just connect the worlds of hip-hop and the NFL in the wildest way. But before we get lost in the gossip, let’s answer the question blowing up on the internet, who is K’yanna Barber?

K’yanna Barber’s early life and connection to Drake’s “In My Feelings”

K’yanna Barber is an Oakland-based social media personality, entrepreneur, and creative who first gained attention years ago when fans connected her to Drake. Back in 2018, when “In My Feelings” dropped, the internet became obsessed with figuring out who “Kiki” was and all fingers pointed to K’yanna.

The theory came from their rumored past connection, she was spotted with Drake in California years before the song, and fans noticed subtle social media clues like Drake following/unfollowing her that fueled the speculation. While neither K’yanna nor Drake ever confirmed anything, the “Kiki” mystery turned her name into instant pop-culture trivia.

She’s also active on social media, where she’s known for lifestyle content, brand collaborations, and her unapologetic authenticity.

In interviews and posts, she’s hinted that being labeled “Drake’s Kiki” opened doors but also came with constant public attention. Over time, she’s turned that visibility into a genuine platform of her own.

Why K’yanna Barber is trending again and her rumored connection with Stefon Diggs

Fast-forward to 2025, and K’yanna Barber’s name is back on everyone’s feed. The reason? DJ Akademiks recently claimed that Stefon Diggs, the Buffalo Bills wide receiver, got K’yanna pregnant. The internet, of course, did what it does best: freaked out.

Within hours, her name was trending as fans tried to piece together the alleged connection between the NFL star and the woman once tied to Drake. It’s worth noting that neither Diggs nor Barber has confirmed the rumor, and right now, it remains pure internet speculation.

Still, that hasn’t stopped social media from exploding with memes about “Drake’s Kiki having Diggs’ baby.”

Whether or not the Stefon Diggs rumor has any truth, one thing’s clear, K’yanna Barber has been a quiet constant in pop culture for years. From allegedly inspiring one of Drake’s biggest hits to becoming a businesswoman and influencer, she’s built her own story long before the latest headlines.
