Cardi B has confirmed she is expecting her fourth child, her first with NFL player Stefon Diggs. However, the announcement has been clouded by controversy after Instagram model Aileen Lopera, known online as Lord Gisselle, alleged that Diggs fathered her five-month-old daughter.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Lopera filed a paternity suit against Diggs while still pregnant, requesting legal and physical custody of the child, Charliee Harper, born in April. She also sought visitation rights for Diggs. In response, Diggs denied paternity and requested a DNA test. He additionally asked for joint custody and shared responsibility for medical and legal expenses if confirmed as the father.

The case has sparked widespread online debate. Some social media users claimed the child strongly resembles Diggs, with one comment reading, “She looks just like him. Quit playing.” Others argued a genetic test is necessary before drawing conclusions.

This is not Diggs’ first time in the spotlight regarding fatherhood. The Buffalo Bills wide receiver is already a parent to an eight-year-old daughter, Nova. While the identity of her mother has not been officially confirmed, reports from Distractify suggest she may be singer Tyler-Marie. Diggs continues to co-parent Nova, and his mother frequently shares family moments with her on social media.

Meanwhile, Cardi B discussed her pregnancy on CBS Mornings, telling Gayle King that she feels “powerful” balancing her career and motherhood. She emphasized her supportive relationship with Diggs, saying he makes her feel “safe” and “confident.” The rapper also revealed she plans to continue her career uninterrupted, announcing her “Little Miss Drama” tour will begin on February 11 despite her pregnancy.

As Cardi B celebrates her news, the outcome of Diggs’ paternity case remains uncertain, leaving fans questioning whether the legal battle could affect their relationship.
