Rumors are floating around that the NFL star is expecting multiple children in the coming months
It’s not every day that a star NFL wide receiver trends for something other than football. But lately, Stefon Diggs’ name has been lighting up social media timelines — and not because of a game-winning catch.
The internet’s latest obsession? Comparing Diggs to none other than prolific parent Nick Cannon, the man famous for juggling a dozen kids with five different women.
The Rumor Mill: “Four Kids on the Way?”
It all started when unsubstantiated reports began circulating online claiming that four women are pregnant at the same time with Stefon Diggs’ children.
The rumor, picked up by social media accounts like Hood Report, and hip hop news outlet AllHipHop.com, sparked instant chaos in the comments. Memes flooded Instagram and X with users dubbing Diggs “the Nick Cannon of the NFL.”
One viral Instagram reel shows clips of Diggs in action on the field spliced with Cannon’s red carpet appearances — a tongue-in-cheek nod to their alleged shared “dad energy.”
Public Reaction: Shock, Shade, and Speculation
Fans are laughing it off as social media gossip, while others are genuinely shocked at the idea of an NFL star possibly mirroring Cannon’s infamous family tree.
“How does he even have time for this between practice and games?” one user commented. Another quipped, “Guess he’s running routes on and off the field.”
Still, others urged people to wait for confirmation before jumping to conclusions — pointing out that none of the rumored pregnancies have been verified by Diggs or any of the women involved.
NBA YoungBoy has also been compared to Cannon
Another entertainer who has recently been compared to Cannon is rap superstar NBA YoungBoy.
At just 25 years old, the Baton Rouge-born rapper reportedly has 12 children with his 13th on the way with his wife, Jazlyn Mychelle.
People magazine lists the number of his brood at 10 children, whereas TMZ reports the number to be 12.
Regardless his youngest two children with his wife — daughter, Alice, was born in August 2021, while their son, Klemenza Tru, arrived in September 2022. The pair wed a few months after the latter child arrived and are living in Utah.
The Bigger Picture: Fame, Fatherhood, and Perception
This isn’t the first time celebrity fatherhood has been in the public spotlight. When Cannon opened up on “The Breakfast Club” about his large family being a “trauma response” to his divorce, it reignited discussions about fame, masculinity, and responsibility.
Here’s the funny part, even Cardi B is being compared to the infamous baby producer. Already a full house with three children, Cardi B is also being compared to Cannon because she announced that she is having her fourth child with Diggs — and she’s still marred to rap star Offset.
“I don’t get in Nick Cannon’s business, but let me tell you something, all my kids live in the same house, and they are raised by a person, and that’s me,” she said on X Spaces, referencing Cannon, who is the father of 12 children with five different women.
After being pelted with memes and mocking fan quips, Cardi B fired up her social media accounts to shut down the talk of a Cardi B and Cannon comparison.
“You can’t compare me to Nick Cannon,” Card B barked on X Spaces. “I don’t got 12 different baby daddies… All my kids live in the same house, and they are raised by me.”
Her passionate defense touched on the double standards that surround celebrity parenting — especially when it comes to women.
“I really don’t like when people downplay moms,” Cardi added. “Whether you work at McDonald’s or you’re a celebrity, we go through so much — and y’all never come for these f*** a** daddies.”
Cardi was just getting warmed up as she torched the wayward fans.
“Stop trying to make it seem like I got 100 gazillion baby daddies. I have three kids with one man that I got married to,” Cardi b roared at her critics. “Yes, I’m having a baby with somebody else. So what that happens? It’s life. Let me tell you something. I did things the correct way. The first time I fell in love, I got two rings on my finger. I lasted seven years,” she added, referencing Offset once again.
Stefon Diggs: Superstar or Scandal Magnet?
For now, Stefon Diggs hasn’t addressed the rumors. The Buffalo Bills wideout has built a reputation as one of the NFL’s most competitive and charismatic players — but this latest wave of gossip has fans debating whether his personal life might overshadow his professional legacy.
Until the facts are confirmed, the question remains:
Is Stefon Diggs really following in Nick Cannon’s footsteps — or is this just another case of social media doing what it does best?
