'No pink stuff': Kevin Hart humiliates Stefon Diggs and Cardi B on live TV over shocking yacht scandal
Kevin Hart playfully addressed the rumored romance between Stefon Diggs and Cardi B, referencing a viral yacht video (Getty Images) When Kevin Hart takes the stage, no one is safe — not even high-profile NFL stars and rap royalty. During his hilarious monologue as host of the 2025 BET Awards, the comedian took a light jab at the rumored romance between Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs and Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B . His punchline, which referenced a viral yacht video, has since gone viral itself. Kevin Hart pokes fun at yacht scandal involving Stefon Diggs and Cardi B Midway through his opening bit, Kevin Hart warned attendees to steer clear of wild afterparties, slipping in a pointed comment about Diggs' controversial Miami yacht outing last month. 'No yachts, no boats. Cardi B, no pink stuff. What the f—, none of that stuff. Everybody's gonna get hit tonight. We're live. It's gonna be a good time," Hart said, drawing laughter from the crowd. The joke refers to footage that surfaced online showing Stefon Diggs aboard a yacht off the coast of Miami, surrounded by women and holding a mysterious pink, crystallized substance. The video fueled online speculation and criticism, eventually prompting New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel to comment on the matter publicly, confirming that he had spoken to Diggs about the incident. Cardi B shows support at Stefon Diggs' youth football camp amid dating rumors Despite the media frenzy, Cardi B and Stefon Diggs seem unbothered. In fact, just days before the BET Awards, Cardi B made a surprise appearance at Diggs' fourth annual Youth Football Camp in Maryland — a gesture that spoke volumes about their budding relationship. The camp, held at the University of Maryland where Diggs once played college football, welcomed hundreds of young athletes. Cardi B didn't just watch from the sidelines; she engaged with the children and offered words of encouragement, further solidifying her role as a supportive partner. Rumors of their relationship had been swirling since the two were spotted courtside at a New York Knicks playoff game in early May. But the speculation ended when Cardi B confirmed their romance on Instagram. Posting sun-kissed photos from their Miami getaway, including shots from the infamous yacht, she captioned the carousel, 'my next chapter.'
