- May 24, 2026
AceShowbiz - Cardi B took to social media in a live broadcast to address and refute circulating rumors involving her longtime hairstylist, Xia Charles. The speculation suggests Charles had an inappropriate relationship with football player Stefon Diggs during his past relationship with Cardi B, claims that Cardi B strongly denies.
The controversy emerged following the conclusion of Diggs' assault trial, in which Charles provided testimony. Shortly after, accusations began to spread online implying that Charles was involved with Diggs while he was dating Cardi B. Cardi B quickly moved to defend her trusted hairstylist, emphasizing their close personal bond.
During her live session, Cardi B highlighted that Charles has been styling her hair since 2019 and that their relationship extends beyond professional boundaries, noting Charles is also very close to her mother. She expressed certainty that the allegations were fabricated to drive a wedge between her and Charles, stating that Charles has faced significant emotional distress because of the false claims.
Cardi B insisted that Charles values her own relationship and has plans to get married, describing her as someone loyal and trustworthy. She urged the public to stop attacking Charles, emphasizing that she does not deserve the negativity amidst the ongoing drama surrounding Diggs and herself.
In response, Charles posted a video of herself working on Cardi B's hair immediately after showing affection to her own partner. She captioned the clip addressing the doubters, dismissing the cheating allegations as baseless and calling out the slow spread of misinformation.
The origin of the rumors can be traced to statements made by Jamila Adams, a former private chef who accused Stefon Diggs of assault. Adams suggested that Charles may have been untruthful under oath to protect Diggs and shared alleged text messages between herself and Charles that purportedly show discussions about attempts to influence the trial's outcome.
This tangled situation is deeply connected to the breakup between Cardi B and Stefon Diggs, which was marked by allegations of infidelity, the assault trial, and other complexities that neither party has fully disclosed to the public.
Adding to the intrigue, Cardi B and Diggs were recently seen together at a Mother's Day event in Washington, D.C., on May 9, where they displayed affection, igniting speculation about a possible reconciliation. Despite Diggs being acquitted in the assault case, the rumors involving Charles and the unresolved questions about the relationships among all parties remain a topic of public interest.
