The New England Patriots’ march to the Super Bowl has been one of the stories of the season. A team that won just three games last season has now reached the pinnacle with club legend and first-year head coach Mike Vrabel. It has definitely created a genuine feel-good narrative around the Patriots. And with that success, celebrity cheerleaders of the team have been busy, too.

The Patriots have found a voice in Stefon Diggs’ girlfriend, Cardi B, who has fully leaned into her role as one of the team’s most active celebrity cheerleaders. She has been extra vocal during this postseason run.
After New England’s gritty 10-7 win over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game, Cardi flooded social media with her unhinged Instagram Stories. One of those posts, featuring Vrabel and team owner Robert Kraft, is signature Cardi and hilarious to the hilt.
The ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker took photos of Vrabel and Robert Kraft, both of whom are dressed in suits. She edited them in Cardi B fashion, adorning oversized diamond chains around their necks, iced out Kraft’s teeth, and gold-plated Vrabel’s grin. The absurd edits were paired with songs by Blueface and Youngboy, two rappers one would least associate with Vrabel and Kraft.
That said, Cardi’s excitement on social media isn’t just performative. She has been emotionally invested in this season, particularly because of Diggs’ journey.

Following the AFC Championship win, Cardi spoke candidly from the field about how proud she was of the Patriots’ WR, praising the behind-the-scenes work that fueled his comeback year. “I’m feeling very excited, very happy for him, very proud of him,” she said, reflecting on Stefon’s road back from a torn ACL.
Cardi walked the fans through the grind she witnessed firsthand, watching Diggs go from his first steps to running again to joining a new team and now heading to the Super Bowl. “They’ve been working day in and day out,” she added, praising the entire Patriots locker room.
When asked what fueled Diggs’ resurgence, Cardi B didn’t hesitate. “Discipline, discipline and work,” she said, before adding, “It’s not like, oh, you wake up, and you’re great. It’s discipline… Going to bed early, waking up early, not missing one day of work. Nothing.”
That discipline powered him all season. Despite modest numbers in the AFC Championship Game, recording five catches for 17 yards, Diggs finished the year as the Patriots’ leading receiver, hauling in 85 receptions for 1,013 yards while playing all 17 games.
More importantly, Diggs delivered when it mattered the most, helping New England survive three straight playoff road games to reach football’s biggest stage. Cardi also admitted her relationship with football has changed because of this run.
Once a self-described baseball-first fan, being a proud Red Sox supporter, she has now fully embraced the Patriots’ world. “It’s kind of cool that we’re keeping it in New England,” she said, smiling as she soaked in the moment.

For Patriots fans, Cardi’s enthusiasm is infectious. But for rival fans, the spotlight on the rapper may remind them of the overkill that was Taylor Swift mania last year. Nonetheless, if the Patriots do end up winning the Super Bowl next month, we will have to hear and read a whole lot of Cardi B.
