Cardi B made her presence felt on Sunday, celebrating the New England Patriots’ 28–16 win over the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Round.
The rapper, who is in a relationship with Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs, couldn’t resist taking a playful shot at the analysts who doubted her team before kickoff.
Cardi’s celebrations came after the Patriots produced one of their best performances of the season to advance to the AFC Championship Game.
Her posts quickly gained traction among fans, combining her trademark humor and confidence as she cheered on New England and Diggs.
Cardi B fires back at critics after Patriots win
Cardi B quote-tweeted a clip from ESPN’s NFL Live where all five analysts predicted the Texans would beat New England.
She exclaimed, “What are y’all talking about? Nothing! Nothing! They didn’t believe in us. I like us. We all we got. We all we need. PatsNation.”
Cardi also shared a message for Stefon Diggs, who caught a touchdown and finished with 40 receiving yards in the win.
“Step in the name of Jesus Diggs. Walk ’em down!”
Her tweets quickly spread across social media, with Patriots fans embracing her as the team’s unofficial hype woman.
Even Mina Kimes, one of the ESPN analysts Cardi had called out, joined in on the fun. Kimes replied: “Getting dunked on by Cardi B… an honor and a privilege tbh.”
Patriots turn focus to AFC Championship clash with Broncos
With their win over the Texans, the New England Patriots advanced to the AFC Championship Game, where they will face the Denver Broncos on the road.
It’s a huge opportunity for Mike Vrabel’s team, who enter the matchup in strong form and with plenty of belief after their dominant second-half performance against Houston.
The Patriots will also benefit from a major development in Denver: Bo Nix, the Broncos’ second-year quarterback, has been ruled out through injury.
With Drake Maye finding rhythm in the passing game and Stefon Diggs continuing to make key plays, the Patriots look well-positioned to carry their momentum into Mile High.
Cardi B’s viral celebrations after the Texans win may only be the beginning if the Patriots keep this run going.
