Stefon Diggs may be making headlines for more than just his plays on the field. A now-viral video of the New England Patriots wide receiver enjoying a wild boat party—with bikini-clad women and an unidentified pink powder in hand—has sparked internet controversy.
But not everyone is joining the outrage.
Rapper-turned-sportscaster defends Diggs amid pink powder speculation and Cardi B dating rumors
Rapper and sportscaster Mase, alongside co-hosts Cam'ron and Treasure 'Stat Baby' Wilson, addressed the footage on their show Come and Talk 2 Me, and made it clear: Diggs is simply living his best life.
'I thought that the video was — it was several things,' said Mase. 'He's a guy that lives to the fullest. I think he's gonna continue to live his life, as he should.'

Cam'ron pushed for clarity on what that lifestyle really means, to which Mase explained, 'Lives to the fullest means Stefon Diggs is gonna do whatever he wants to do… He's living it to the fullest.
He's a bachelor. He hasn't tied the knot… He's still enjoying himself.'
Unidentified pink powder triggers speculation but no solid proof of drug use
The clip stirred additional buzz due to a mysterious pink substance seen in Diggs' possession, which some speculated might be 'tusi,' also known as pink cocaine. But Mase brushed off those assumptions. 'I didn't see pink cocaine,' he said. 'I just saw a Kool-Aid pack… I didn't get to zoom in on it, so I can't say what it was… Did you see them sniff anything?'
While co-host Wilson expressed doubts, saying, 'I don't know if that (pink cocaine) is what he had, but it looks like that,' she also confirmed no drug consumption was visible in the video.

Coach Vrabel responds and Cardi B enters the spotlight
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged the video at a May 28 press conference, stating, 'Obviously, we want to make great decisions on and off the field,' but avoided directly calling out Diggs. The star receiver was notably absent from the team's organized activity that day—a detail Cam'ron quickly dismissed: 'If it's not mandatory… why are we talking about this?'
Adding fuel to the fire is Diggs' rumored romance with Cardi B, who was allegedly present at the party. With her ongoing divorce from Offset, the public is watching closely. Still, Wilson reminded viewers, 'If that girl wanna go live her best life… let her go do that.'
