Stefon Diggs and Cardi B are now Instagram official. Know the NFL player's controversies, net worth and more
Stefon Diggs , New England Patriots wide receiver, and rapper Cardi B are now Instagram official. In a recent Instagram photo dump, Cardi B turned heads with her stunning looks during a Memorial Day weekend getaway in Miami, Florida. The 'Up' rapper rocked a sleek black swimsuit paired with Louboutin heels, sharing a steamy moment aboard a yacht with her partner. In another shot, she's wrapped in a luxurious faux fur blanket, flaunting dazzling diamond rings that added extra sparkle to the scene. Who is Stefon Diggs? Stefon Diggs has long been a force on the field, but his off-field achievements are just as impressive. After emerging as a superstar with the Buffalo Bills alongside MVP quarterback Josh Allen, Diggs was traded to the Houston Texans before landing a blockbuster three-year, $69 million deal with the New England Patriots. The move solidified his status as one of the NFL's highest-paid wide receivers. From lucrative contracts to strategic investments, Diggs is building an empire that rivals the precision of his route-running.

Here's what the Tesla CEO was asked Stefon Diggs Net Worth As of May 2025, Stefon Diggs' estimated net worth is $60 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. His earnings stem primarily from his NFL contracts, with his current role on the Houston Texans contributing to his wealth. But Diggs' business savvy extends beyond football. Endorsements and brand partnerships have significantly boosted his income, proving his dominance goes well beyond Sundays. Live Events His financial ascent has been steady, growing by roughly $1 million annually. From the iconic 'Minneapolis Miracle' to leading the league in receptions and yards in 2020, Diggs has built his fortune on both talent and timing. Off the field, Diggs is equally strategic. A brand ambassador for Jordan, he also boasts deals with Adidas, Geico, Century Link, and Bridgestone. He's invested in startups like Mad Rabbit and Dapper Labs and even launched his own food line—Diggs 14—featuring hot sauce and blue cheese dressing.

Stefon Diggs recent controversies One of the most popular and talented players in the NFL, Stefon Diggs was embroiled in a controversy after his infamous yacht video went viral a few days ago. A few years back, when Stefon Diggs was still with the Minnesota Vikings, a hilarious video went viral in which players were asked to name the one teammate they wouldn't want dating their sister. To everyone's amusement, every single player pointed to Stefon Diggs. When Diggs himself was asked about it in the video, he responded with a laugh, saying, 'I'm a great guy. I'm actually a great guy… They just don't know me well enough.' Although the clip originally made the rounds years ago, it's resurfaced recently thanks to a viral yacht video featuring Diggs—and fans are loving the throwback. New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs again returned to the spotlight amid controversy. A recently surfaced video shows the NFL star on a boat with several women, allegedly handing them a bag containing pink crystals. The footage, which quickly went viral on social media, has sparked widespread speculation about the substance — with some users suggesting it could be 'pink cocaine,' although no official confirmation has been made.

Here's how you can maximize your viewing experience In a viral video, Stefon Diggs is seen casually conversing with three women who allegedly called him 'Daddy' before he handed them a bag containing a pink substance. One user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, 'Yikes: NFL fans are speculating that Stefon Diggs handed these three girls what looks to be pink c*caine after he asked them to call him Daddy.' Similar reactions quickly followed, with some suggesting Diggs was 'serving pink cocaine' and labeling him 'a football player, pimp, and drug dealer.' Stefon Diggs early life and career Stefon Diggs' path from a standout high school athlete in Maryland to one of the NFL's premier wide receivers is a story of grit, talent, and unwavering determination. Born on November 29, 1993, in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Diggs grew up with two younger brothers—Trevon and Darez—both of whom also pursued football careers. At Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, Diggs emerged as a sensation during his junior year, amassing 810 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns. His electrifying play earned him five-star recruit status and the attention of college programs nationwide. But instead of heading far from home, he chose to stay close, enrolling at the University of Maryland to support his family. ALSO READ: Elon Musk exits White House, 'poaches' top Trump aide Stephen Miller's wife Katie for private sector role Diggs made an immediate impact at Maryland, racking up 1,896 all-purpose yards as a freshman—nearly breaking the school record. Though injuries hampered his next two seasons, he still managed to tally 2,227 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns before declaring for the 2015 NFL Draft. Despite being selected in the fifth round by the Minnesota Vikings, Diggs wasted no time making his mark. His defining moment came in 2017 with the legendary 'Minneapolis Miracle'—a dramatic 61-yard touchdown as time expired to defeat the New Orleans Saints in the Divisional Round. As Diggs once put it, 'You've got to go out there and make plays when your number is called.' And he lived by that mantra. A 2020 trade to the Buffalo Bills launched the next phase of his career. That year, he led the NFL in both receptions (127) and receiving yards (1,535), earning First-Team All-Pro honors. His dominance helped power Buffalo to four consecutive AFC East titles. In April 2024, Diggs signed with the Houston Texans. Although his debut season was shortened by a torn ACL, he still reached a major milestone—surpassing 10,000 career receiving yards—and even notched his first rushing touchdown. Through every triumph and challenge, Stefon Diggs has proven himself a relentless competitor and an elite talent. His journey is a powerful reminder that heart, resilience, and dedication can turn dreams into legacy. (With TOI inputs)

'Queen Of The Internet' Mary Meeker Calls AI The Most "Unprecedented" Tech Shift Yet
New Delhi: Venture capitalist Mary Meeker, once called the "Queen of the Internet," is back with her first big trends report since 2019. Titled " Trends - Artificial Intelligence," the 340-page deep dive argues the rise of AI is unlike any tech revolution seen before. "The pace and scope of change related to the artificial intelligence technology evolution is indeed unprecedented..." Ms Meeker writes, using the word "unprecedented" 51 times in the report. Rise Of AI Ms Meeker's report talks about how quickly AI has scaled. Instagram, WhatsApp, and YouTube took 2-4 years to hit 100 million users. ChatGPT did it in under three months. By April this year, ChatGPT had 800 million weekly users and now handles over 365 billion searches annually. Based on Morgan Stanley data, it took 6-12 years for half of US households to get access to mobile and desktop internet. For AI platforms, Ms Meeker predicts the same will happen in only three years. India Has A Major AI User Base India has turned out to be a vital market for AI platforms. The country contributes the highest percentage of mobile app users for ChatGPT (13.5 per cent), ahead of the US (8.9 per cent) and Germany (3 per cent). It is also the third-largest user base (6.9 per cent) for China's DeepSeek. "India has been a key user-base market for AI companies," the report said. Open Source vs Closed Source AI Ms Meeker says AI is splitting into two paths: closed models like GPT-4 and Claude, and open models like Llama and Mixtral. Closed models lead in performance and are favoured by enterprises, but they lack transparency. Open models are more accessible and are driving innovation in local languages, grassroots tools, and sovereign AI efforts. "We're watching two philosophies unfold in parallel, freedom vs control, speed vs safety, openness vs optimization - each shaping not just how AI works, but who gets to wield it," Ms Meeker writes. China, for instance, is leading the open-source race. As of Q2 2025, it has released major models like DeepSeek-R1, Alibaba's Qwen-32B, and Baidu's Ernie 4.5. Falling Costs, Soaring Competition While training costs for models have gone up (reaching up to $1 billion), inference costs have dropped by 99 per cent in two years, according to Stanford data. Nvidia's 2024 Blackwell GPU uses 105,000 times less energy per token compared to its 2014 predecessor. Google's TPU chips and Amazon's Trainium are also scaling rapidly. "These aren't side projects, they're foundational bets," Ms Meeker notes. Financial Reality Check Despite massive user growth, she has warned that revenue per user is still low with a median of $23 (Rs 2000) across most platforms. The industry is burning through cash. Investors are betting big, but it is still unclear who will come out on top. "Only time will tell which side of the money-making equation the current AI aspirants will land," she writes. AI Already Shaping The Real World AI is moving beyond apps, the report says. It is driving cars, running factory robots, and aiding in healthcare. Jobs aren't vanishing but evolving, with AI becoming a co-pilot for coders, writers, and analysts. AI-related job listings have jumped 448 per cent since 2018 Ms Meeker says. The Infrastructure Race Access to powerful tech, like GPUs, chips, and data centres, is now a global competition. Mary Meeker compares it to the space race during the Cold War. There are serious concerns too. AI can be biased, spread wrong info, or behave unpredictably. Ms Meeker says we need clear rules, honest leadership, and smarter systems to handle AI's fast growth.
