New England Patriots star Stefon Diggs is officially in dad mode — and fashion mode.

The 31-year-old wide receiver confirmed to People at Monday night’s CFDA Fashion Awards that he and rapper Cardi B are expecting their first child together — and it’s a boy.

“It’s a boy. That’s enough for me,” Diggs told People. “I can’t wait to make him do push-ups and sit-ups and run around.”

Diggs’ revelation came hours after his appearance on "Extra," where he and designer Willie Charvarria walked the red carpet together. In that interview, Diggs — dressed in Charvarria’s custom design — didn’t reveal the gender but said the baby was “supposed to happen real soon,” adding with a grin, “Wish us both luck.”

Charvarria, who has styled Diggs for three straight years, described the look as “about Stefon himself — strong, a winner, chiseled at all times.” Diggs told Extra host Mona Kosar Abdi he makes time for the things that matter: “We had a game yesterday, we won. So, we’re bringing a little good luck.”

 

When asked about A$AP Rocky receiving the Fashion Icon Award, Diggs called him “an inspiration for the culture for a very long time,” a nod to the night’s celebration of men’s fashion.

Cardi B, 33, had already shared the pregnancy news in September during a CBS Mornings interview with Gayle King, confirming:

“I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs,” the Bronx-born rapper said. “I feel very strong, very powerful that I’m doing all this work — but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby.”

This will be Cardi’s fourth child. She shares three children with her estranged husband, rapper Offset, and is due before her “Little Miss Drama” tour begins in February 2026.

The couple first appeared publicly together at an NBA playoff game in May, cementing one of hip-hop’s most unexpected crossovers — NFL precision meeting Bronx flair. Since then, they’ve traded supportive social media posts, with Diggs writing under one of Cardi’s posts, “Proud of you for staying focused ❤️” and later adding, “100% team boy 💙🙏🏾.”

Now, after a headline-making red-carpet night and a confirmed boy on the way, the receiver who’s mastered route running may be mapping out his most important play yet — fatherhood.

Rapper Young Bleed Dead at 51 After Brain Aneurysm, Son Confirms

Young Bleed shown in a promotional image circa 2024.Young Bleed’s son, Ty’Gee Ramon, confirmed his father’s death in a video posted Monday on Instagram, saying the Baton Rouge rapper “gained his wings” on Saturday following complications from a brain aneurysm.

Baton Rouge rapper Young Bleed, whose 1998 anthem “How Ya Do Dat” became a Southern rap classic and helped define the bridge between No Limit’s street realism and Cash Money’s mainstream rise, has died at 51 following complications from a brain aneurysm.

His eldest son, Ty’Gee Ramon, confirmed the news Monday in an emotional Instagram video, saying his father “gained his wings” on Saturday. “It’s unreal,” Ramon said. “He never dealt with real health issues, but he did have high blood pressure and took medicine. It was a natural thing.”

The Louisiana native — born Glenn Clifton Jr. — suffered a brain aneurysm on Oct. 25, days after performing at the Cash Money–No Limit Verzuz event in Las Vegas and appearing at ComplexCon. He had been hospitalized in critical condition since then.

The sudden loss comes less than two weeks after his sister, Tedra Johnson-Spears, publicly pleaded for fans to stop spreading false death reports while Young Bleed remained in intensive care. “He is still currently in ICU,” she wrote at the time, asking for privacy and respect for the family.

In the days before his hospitalization, Bleed was enjoying a late-career renaissance, celebrating both his roots and his influence as a Baton Rouge trailblazer. Known for his poetic storytelling and unhurried drawl, he brought a philosopher’s calm to the chaos of late-’90s Louisiana rap — a sound that turned regional slang and hustler ethos into national conversation.

His debut album, “My Balls and My Word,” released through No Limit and Priority Records, debuted in Billboard’s Top 10 in 1998. The album’s breakout single, “How Ya Do Dat,” featuring C-Loc and Master P, became a Gulf Coast rallying cry that cemented Bleed’s legacy. The project went gold, earning Young Bleed a place among the first Baton Rouge rappers to reach a mainstream national audience.

Blueface’s First Day Free Turns Chaotic as Jaidyn Alexis, Chrisean Rock Clash

After 21 months behind bars, rapper Blueface walked out of prison today — and the drama that has long followed him wasted no time resurfacing.

Known for his breakout hit “Thotiana” and a social-media persona built on controversy and charisma, the 28-year-old rapper was released Monday and quickly reunited with his children, including son Chrisean Jr., whom he shares with Chrisean Rock, and two kids with longtime on-again, off-again partner Jaidyn Alexis.

Within hours, Alexis went live on Instagram and fired off remarks aimed at Rock, saying she did not approve of her children being around “a crackhead” — comments originally reported by TMZ Hip Hop. She abruptly ended the stream but not before fueling yet another viral moment between the two women at the center of Blueface’s offstage drama.

Blueface (real name Jonathan Porter) served his sentence on probation-related violations that stemmed from earlier assault and weapons cases. His release marks the end of a turbulent chapter that blended hip-hop fame with near-constant courtroom headlines.

Hours after his release, Blueface briefly went live on Instagram himself, thanking fans for support and joking, “Still that n***a, two years later,” before teasing that he might make his account private. The clip showed him inside his Los Angeles home alongside family members and his mother, Karlissa Saffold, who had posted a countdown to his release for weeks.

The rapper’s return home also reunited him with his new girlfriend Angela, who told TMZ Hip Hop she supported him through his sentence and believes he’s “a keeper.”

Blueface’s homecoming comes at a career crossroads. Before his incarceration, he teased new music and a possible label imprint; now, he faces the challenge of converting infamy into focus.
