Former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs, now with the New England Patriots, has sparked controversy following the emergence of a viral video from a Memorial Day weekend yacht party in Miami. In the footage, Diggs is seen handing a small pink bag to a woman amid a group of bikini-clad attendees. He refers to himself as “Mr. Make It Happen On a Boat” and advises the women to use the substance cautiously. Notably, his girlfriend, rapper Cardi B, was reportedly on the yacht but not present during this particular interaction.
The video has elicited mixed reactions online, with some viewers interpreting Diggs’ behavior as flirtatious and disrespectful, especially given Cardi B’s presence on the yacht. Others argue that the interactions fall within the bounds of normal party behavior and don’t necessarily indicate issues in their relationship.
In response to the incident, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged the situation, emphasizing the importance of players making responsible decisions both on and off the field. Vrabel declined to share details of his conversations with Diggs, citing privacy.
Diggs’ absence from a recent voluntary Organized Team Activities (OTA) session has further fueled speculation. While he is recovering from a torn ACL sustained during his tenure with the Houston Texans, his decision to skip the practice amid the controversy has raised questions about his commitment.
The Patriots, who signed Diggs to a three-year, $69 million contract, are counting on his experience and talent to bolster their offense, particularly as they develop rookie quarterback Drake Maye. The team concluded the 2024 season with a 4-13 record, leading to the hiring of Vrabel as head coach.
As the situation unfolds, the Patriots and their fans will be closely monitoring Diggs’ actions and commitment to the team’s success.
