Cardi B drops fiery track 'Outside,' fans suspect it targets Offset and hints at Stefon Diggs romance

Cardi B has released a bold new single titled “Outside,” which fans believe takes aim at her ex-husband Offset while also alluding to her rumored new relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs. The track premiered during the Cannes Lions event this week and marks her first solo release in over a year.

The rapper and Offset, a member of Migos, began dating in 2017 and had a highly publicized, on-again-off-again relationship. Cardi filed for divorce in mid-2024. Now, with “Outside,” fans believe she’s channeling her emotions into lyrics that reflect her breakup experience and new beginnings.

One line in particular—“Do you how you do me, bet you we won’t speak again / Favorite player from your favorite team, he in my DM”—has sparked speculation that Cardi is referencing Diggs. The NFL wide receiver currently plays for the New England Patriots, a team she name-checks later in the song with, “Heard them Patriots got them [explicit], let me in the locker room.”

The track’s themes of self-confidence and independence have resonated with listeners, many of whom view it as Cardi reclaiming her narrative. Fans have praised the song for its assertiveness and punchy delivery, interpreting it as a powerful message of moving on from betrayal and reclaiming control.

While neither Cardi B nor Stefon Diggs has publicly confirmed a relationship, the timing and suggestive nature of the lyrics have only fueled ongoing speculation and buzz across social media.
