If you haven’t seen the thumbnail of Cardi B sitting on Alex Cooper’s couch wearing a Stefon Diggs jersey, you’re basically living under a rock. It happened. After years of the "Daddy Gang" begging for it, the Bronx queen finally sat down for Cardi B Call Her Daddy, and it wasn't just another boring press circuit stop. It was messy. It was loud. It was deeply emotional in ways people didn't expect from the woman who gave us "WAP."
Honestly, the energy was electric from the first second. Alex Cooper has this way of getting people to overshare, but with Cardi, you don't even have to try. She just spills. The episode, titled "Drama, Divorce, & Diggs," dropped in late September 2025, right as her new album Am I The Drama? was setting the charts on fire.
The $13,000 Toilet Disaster and Other Chaos
Most interviews start with a "how are you?" Not this one. Within minutes, Cardi was talking about her butt. Specifically, a $13,000 diamond piercing she got on her backside.
"It was the easiest piercing ever," she told Alex, explaining that the area was actually numb from previous surgeries (yeah, she went there). But the real kicker? She lost the diamond down the toilet. Imagine being the plumber called to find a five-figure rock in the pipes. Cardi’s delivery was classic: she just looked at her panties, realized it was gone, and moved on. That's the level of wealth and chaos we're dealing with here.
But the conversation shifted fast. They talked about the "stinky BBL" rumors—which Cardi finds hilarious and baffling—and the physical toll of her surgeries. She was surprisingly vulnerable about the "tummy tuck" she basically had to get on her ass to remove biopolymers. It wasn't just celebrity gossip; it was a rare, honest look at the complications of plastic surgery that most influencers try to hide behind filters.

Why the Stefon Diggs Reveal Changed Everything
Everyone wanted to know about the jersey. Why was she wearing a No. 8 Buffalo Bills jersey? Cardi has always been an open book, but she got visibly shy when Alex brought up Stefon Diggs.
They’ve been the subject of "are they or aren't they" headlines for months. On Cardi B Call Her Daddy, she finally confirmed they are very much a thing. She talked about how they would stay on the phone for six or seven hours at a time. It wasn't about the fame or the money; it was the conversation.
"When a man fall in love with me, they fall in love for my personality... and because I'm a really pretty girl," she joked, before getting serious about her pregnancy and the support she’s felt during this transition.
It was a sharp contrast to the drama of her divorce from Offset. She didn't bash her ex, but she made it clear she’s in a different "season." She’s done with the "club-then-after-party" life. Well, mostly. She did admit she still loves tequila, even though it makes her sleepy, and that she and her "boyfriend" are the king and queen of the "Irish Exit." If the music sucks, they’re out.

The 7-Year Wait for "Am I The Drama?"
The elephant in the room was the album. It had been seven years since Invasion of Privacy. Seven years! In the rap world, that’s an eternity.
Cardi admitted to Alex that the pressure was crushing. She knew people were going to be mean just for the sake of being mean. "They waited seven years just to talk shit," she said. It’s a relatable fear, even if you aren't a global superstar. That imposter syndrome and the weight of expectation almost kept the album on a hard drive forever.
What People Get Wrong About Cardi's Success
- The "Surgery" Narrative: People think she gets a BBL every time she has a kid. She clarified she actually takes a long time to heal because she "doesn't want to die."
- The "Clean" Lyrics: She absolutely loathes the "clean" version of WAP. Using the word "gushy" instead of... the alternative... is "torture" to her.
- The Social Life: She isn't always "on." She’s a self-proclaimed "granny" who gets sleepy by midnight if the vibe isn't right.
Moving Toward the Next Chapter
This interview felt like a turning point. We saw Cardi as a mother of three, a girlfriend, and a business mogul who is terrified of her own shadow sometimes. She spoke about her early days working at a supermarket and how a Turkish manager told her she "didn't need the job" because she was meant for bigger things. He was right.
If you’re looking for the "old Cardi," she’s still there, but she’s evolved. She’s protecting her peace now. She’s blocking out the "dark rumors" and focusing on the music and her kids.

Key Takeaways for Fans:
- Listen to the full 1-hour and 4-minute episode if you want the nuance; snippets on TikTok don't do the emotional shifts justice.
- Watch the YouTube version to see the jersey and the body language—it says more than the audio alone.
- Check out her interview with Jay Shetty which dropped shortly after for a much deeper look at her mental health and depression battles that she only touched on with Alex.
The Cardi B Call Her Daddy episode wasn't just a marketing stunt; it was a reintroduction. She isn't just a caricature of a "Bodega Baddie" anymore. She’s a woman navigating a very public divorce while trying to maintain her crown in an industry that’s always looking for the next best thing. And based on the numbers this episode did, she isn't going anywhere.
Next Steps for the Daddy Gang:
If you want to keep up with the fallout of the Diggs confirmation, keep an eye on Cardi's Instagram Lives—she’s been more active there since the episode aired.
