But one name was noticeably missing from it.The rapper picked up the award for Am I the Drama?, her first full album since 2018's Invasion of Privacy, and used her time on stage to talk about motherhood rather than romance. Diggs, her on-again, off-again NFL boyfriend, didn't get a mention, notable timing, given their relationship status is murkier than ever right now.Cardi B's BET Awards speech was all about her kids — Stefon Diggs got zero mentionAccepting the award, Cardi kept things personal and emotional. "Three babies later, I put the album out, honey," she said, crediting the win to pushing through fear and anxiety to finally get the record out. She closed simply: "I love my babies. I love Jesus. Thank you so much." No boyfriend, just her kids, her fans, her family and her faith. She was in such a hurry afterwards that she walked off stage and accidentally left her actual trophy behind with presenters Luke James and Jacob Latimore, who were left holding it for her.Earlier in the night, Cardi also performed a medley from the album, including her track "Pretty & Petty," a song with a line about BET Awards that's widely read as a dig at rapper BIA, not Diggs. Still, it's a reminder that Cardi hasn't been shy about airing things out on stage when she wants to. The fact that she chose not to go there with Diggs, even briefly, only makes his absence from her speech stand out more.Why the Diggs silence stands outCardi and Diggs have been stuck in a loop of breaking up and showing up together since February, when they split right after the Super Bowl and unfollowed each other on Instagram. She confirmed the breakup herself on stage in San Francisco weeks later, telling fans she's "too sexy to be lonely and too grown to be played with."Then came the reunion. In May, the two were photographed together at the Diggs Deep Foundation's Mother's Day event, all smiles and PDA, with Stefon kissing the side of her hair for the cameras. It looked like things were back on, until a video surfaced weeks later showing the two of them in a tense argument outside a Maryland coffee shop, reigniting every "are they, aren't they" question fans had just put to rest.When Diggs was asked directly in June whether they're officially back together, he dodged completely: "That's a beautiful, talented mother, and I love her to death. You have to ask her." Pressed on the viral argument, he downplayed it just as smoothly: "What argument? I don't even think that was an argument."With that kind of non-answer still hanging in the air, Cardi keeping her BET speech entirely focused on her kids and her faith feels less like an oversight and more like a statement.
