Cardi B Reportedly Needed Space Earlier This Year

According to a source, Cardi B initially distanced herself from Diggs in February 2026 amid concerns about trust and ongoing tension between them. The insider said:

"Cardi pulled away from the drama in February. She didn't trust him and felt like things were going on behind her back. She wasn't in a place emotionally to deal with fighting and tension."

At the time, the rapper was focused on finishing her Little Miss Drama Tour, which ran from February through April. The source added that Cardi B also wanted stability for her children during that period.

The rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Almánzar, shares a son born in November 2025 with Diggs. She is also the mother of three children with estranged husband Offset, though the former couple's divorce has not yet been finalized.

Diggs Allegedly Made an Effort to Repair the Relationship

Despite the reported separation, the source claimed Cardi B "never closed the door completely" on the relationship. "He stepped it up a few weeks ago and showed her that he wants to make it work," the source continued.

"It was enough of an effort to get her attention. She still cares about him a lot," they added. Representatives for both Cardi B and Diggs were contacted for comment.
