Cardi B claps back at ESPN panelists for their incorrect Patriots prediction: "They didn't believe in us"

Cardi B is talking the talk as the New England Patriots walk the walk. The hip-hop superstar, who recently confirmed her relationship with Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, didn’t hold back after ESPN analysts predicted the Houston Texans would advance to the AFC Championship. Mina Kimes, Ryan Clark, Hannah Storm, Dan Orlovsky, and Marcus Spears all had Houston as their pick—but the Patriots proved them spectacularly wrong.

The victory was far from a fluke. New England capitalized on multiple turnovers, including four interceptions from Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, while clutch plays from Diggs and Kayshon Boutte turned the game decisively in the Patriots’ favor. When the final whistle blew on a 28-16 win, Cardi B took to X to express her excitement. “THEY DIDN’T BELIEVE IN US !!! I LIKE US!!!!! WE ALL WE GOT!!!!! WE ALL WE NEED !!!!” she wrote, pairing it with a playful video that added, “What are you talking about? Nothing!”

Patriots dominate Texans as Cardi B shines as ultimate fan

Stefon Diggs contributed four catches for 40 yards and a touchdown, while Boutte stole the spotlight with three receptions totaling 75 yards, including a stunning one-handed touchdown grab in the fourth quarter that sealed the game. The Texans’ five turnovers, including a pick-six by Marcus Jones, made the Patriots’ path to victory relatively smooth and emphasized New England’s sharp execution under pressure.

For Cardi B, this win was more than a football moment- it was a personal celebration. Since confirming her relationship with Diggs in September, she has been a fixture at Gillette Stadium, cheering alongside other players’ partners and even team owner Robert Kraft. In November, the couple welcomed their first child, and Cardi B hasn’t been shy about showing her unfiltered joy for both Diggs’ performance and the team’s success throughout the season.

The Patriots are now just one win away from returning to the Super Bowl, marking their first AFC Championship appearance in the post-Bill Belichick and Tom Brady era. For Cardi B, Sunday’s victory came with an added thrill: dunking on the analysts who doubted her team, proving once again that when it comes to football and fandom, her enthusiasm is as unstoppable as the Patriots themselves.
