Cardi B Plans $1.2 Million Super Bowl Bash

The rapper is spending big to support Stefon Diggs and the Patriots, inviting 100 guests, booking private jets, and hosting a lavish afterparty in San Francisco.

Cardi B is making headlines once again, but this time it’s not for a chart-topping single or a viral social media moment. Instead, the Grammy-winning rapper is reportedly orchestrating one of the most extravagant Super Bowl celebrations in recent memory, spending more than $1.2 million to support her boyfriend, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, as he prepares for the biggest game of his career against the Seattle Seahawks on February 8, 2026. According to reports from The Sun and Daily Mail, the Bronx-born superstar is leaving no stone unturned to make this Super Bowl weekend unforgettable for Diggs, their families, and friends.

The Patriots’ clash with the Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara is already drawing national attention, but Cardi B’s plans are raising the stakes even higher. She’s invited 100 friends and family members from both sides to San Francisco for the occasion, flying them in style on four private jets—a gesture that alone carries a price tag of around $250,000. For the big game itself, Cardi B is footing the bill for 40 guests to watch from a private suite at Levi’s Stadium, which costs approximately $125,000. The rest of her entourage will be seated in the stands, with ticket costs ranging between $700,000 and $725,000, as reported by Page Six and Daily Mail.

But the spending spree doesn’t stop at travel and tickets. Cardi B is determined to ensure her guests have the time of their lives, reportedly allocating around $100,000 for drinks during the game and an additional $8,000 for dedicated staff to serve food and beverages. Regardless of whether the Patriots bring home the Lombardi Trophy, she’s also planning an intimate afterparty at a rented location, estimated to cost $30,000, with an alcohol tab nearing $222,000. As one insider told The Sun, “She’s covering most of the expenses herself because she wants him to feel supported and celebrated. She keeps saying this might never happen again, so why hold back?”

This outpouring of support comes at a pivotal moment for both Cardi B and Stefon Diggs. The couple, who went public with their relationship in May 2025 after Cardi’s high-profile divorce from rapper Offset in August 2024, have been navigating the spotlight together ever since. Their romance began to spark rumors in late 2024, with the duo making their official debut courtside at a New York Knicks game. By Memorial Day weekend, they were spotted vacationing together in Miami, and in May 2025, they turned heads at a Met Gala after-party.

In September 2025, Cardi B confirmed on Today that she and Diggs had connected through mutual friends, with the rapper recalling, “I thought he was cute. I was like, ‘Oh, he gotta be mine.’” The relationship quickly deepened, and later that fall, Cardi announced she was expecting a baby with Diggs. Their son was born in November 2025, marking Cardi’s fourth child and Diggs’ second. “We’re very excited. We’re very happy,” Cardi said in a September 2025 interview with CBS Mornings.

Cardi B’s enthusiasm for Diggs’ football career has been palpable throughout the Patriots’ season. She was present to witness the team’s victory over the Denver Broncos on January 25, 2026, which secured their ticket to the Super Bowl. In a since-expired Instagram Story, she shouted, “We going to the Super Bowl,” adding a celebratory “You poppin’” to Diggs. Speaking to the NFL Network, Cardi expressed her pride: “I’m feeling very excited, very happy for him, very proud of him. He just came back from an ACL and me seeing the progress and the process of him, from the first time he started running back, and now joining the Patriots and actually going to the Super Bowl, I’m very excited for him. Very excited for the whole team, they been working they butts out.”

Diggs, for his part, has been equally forthcoming about the importance of Cardi’s support. During Super Bowl Opening Night on February 2, 2026, he told reporters, “As a significant other I really appreciate it. It’s a level of appreciation because she’s an amazing woman. Being there for me is hard, you can imagine. I’m a lot to deal with but I never want to not let her know that I appreciate her for being there. Not just for the games but she supported me when she wasn’t there.” He also acknowledged the discipline required for his comeback, with Cardi adding, “It’s not like, ‘Oh you wake up and you great.’ It’s discipline. It’s going to bed early, it’s waking up early, it’s not missing one day of work. Nothing discipline, hard discipline.”

The couple’s relationship hasn’t been without its share of public scrutiny and challenges. In late 2025, Diggs faced a lawsuit from model Aileen Lopera, who alleged he fathered her child. Diggs has contested the claim and requested genetic testing, while Cardi addressed the drama with her signature candor on social media, referencing Shirley Brown’s “Woman to Woman” in a pointed message: “That’s your baby daddy, b---h? That’s my baby daddy, too. Well what now? I don’t f--king know. We’ll figure it out b---h.” Cardi has also made it clear to Diggs that if another woman comes forward with a child after they became official, she’s “done,” according to Page Six.

Despite the turbulence, both Cardi and Diggs have continued to champion each other’s successes. Diggs, when asked about the prospect of marriage during Super Bowl week, joked, “It’s on the agenda, maybe. Right? I gotta get mine first, though,” referring to his pursuit of a Super Bowl ring. Cardi, meanwhile, has embraced her new role as a Patriots WAG, even turning into a self-described football fanatic. “I be in the screen on Sunday, every day, cursing people out,” she admitted on Today. “Pass the ball!”

For Cardi B, this Super Bowl extravaganza is more than just a party—it’s a testament to love, resilience, and the joy of celebrating milestones with those who matter most. As the Patriots and Seahawks prepare to battle it out on the field, Cardi’s celebration off the field is already making this Super Bowl one for the ages.
