m According to a source close to the situation, after Stefon Diggs was reportedly seen proposing to her during her 33rd birthday party, Offset became furious and began taking steps to delay the divorce process. The source revealed that Offset is ‘refusing to sign the divorce papers’ out of fear that doing so would pave the way for Cardi to marry someone else — especially a high-profile figure like Diggs — and that he intends to stall it for as long as possible

According to sources close to the situation, after NFL star Stefon Diggs was allegedly seen proposing to Cardi B during her 33rd birthday celebration, Offset became furious and started taking steps to delay the divorce process. The revelation has sent shockwaves across social media, sparking intense debate among fans of both the rapper and the football player.

A person familiar with the situation told Hollywood Life:

“Offset isn’t ready to let go. He knows Cardi and Stefon’s relationship has been heating up, and when he heard about the proposal rumor, he lost it. Offset feels that signing the divorce papers right now would be like handing her over to someone else.”

The insider added that Offset has “refused to sign the divorce documents” citing “unresolved financial matters” and “incomplete settlement terms.” But many in the entertainment world believe this is just an excuse to stall the proceedings and prevent Cardi B from moving forward — particularly with a high-profile figure like Stefon Diggs of the Buffalo Bills.

A New Love and an Angry Ex

While Cardi B and Stefon Diggs have never publicly confirmed their relationship, fans have speculated for months that the two are romantically involved. They’ve been spotted together at several events and were even rumored to have vacationed as a couple earlier this summer.

If the alleged birthday proposal did happen, it would mark a major milestone in their relationship — and, according to insiders, it’s exactly what triggered Offset’s anger.

A close friend of Cardi’s reportedly said:

“She’s exhausted. Cardi just wants closure — she wants her freedom and a clean break. But Offset keeps dragging things out, coming up with new reasons not to sign. It’s emotionally draining for her.”

Cardi B herself has openly expressed frustration about her stalled divorce. During a recent Instagram Live, she admitted:

“I don’t understand why he’s delaying this. I’m ready to move on, but he’s holding me hostage in this relationship that ended a long time ago.”

Legal Games or Lingering Love?

Legal experts say that drawn-out celebrity divorces aren’t unusual — especially when it comes to property division, child custody, or joint business deals. However, stalling a divorce for emotional reasons is another story.

A Los Angeles-based family attorney told Variety:

“If it’s proven that one party is intentionally delaying proceedings just to keep their ex from remarrying, the court can step in and expedite the process. Emotional motives rarely hold up legally.”

Still, people close to Offset claim his actions stem from heartbreak rather than manipulation. “Offset still loves her,” said a friend of the rapper. “He can’t stand the idea of seeing Cardi with another man — especially someone successful, famous, and respected like Stefon Diggs. It’s not about money; it’s about pride and love.”

The Internet Reacts

As expected, fans were quick to take sides. On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag #LetCardiBeFree began trending within hours, with thousands of users calling out Offset for “emotional manipulation” and “toxic control.”

One viral tweet read:

“Offset had years to fix things. Now he’s blocking her happiness? That’s not love, that’s control.”

Others, however, sympathized with Offset’s emotional turmoil, suggesting he’s simply struggling to move on from a woman he still loves. “You can’t just turn off feelings overnight,” one fan posted. “Maybe he’s just not ready to see her start a new chapter yet.”

A Public Saga with No End in Sight

Despite the speculation, neither Cardi B nor Offset has released an official statement regarding the alleged proposal or the divorce delay. Stefon Diggs’ representatives have also declined to comment.

Meanwhile, entertainment reporters and gossip outlets continue to chase the story, with paparazzi tracking Cardi’s every move for signs of an engagement ring.

What’s clear is that the love triangle between Cardi B, Offset, and Stefon Diggs has become one of the most talked-about celebrity dramas of the moment — blending heartbreak, jealousy, and high-stakes fame into a story straight out of a Hollywood script.

Whether Offset’s rumored stall tactics come from lingering affection or an unwillingness to see his ex move on, one thing is certain: the world is watching every twist in this ongoing saga.
