ESPN NFL analyst Mina Kimes expressed her surprise and amusement at being targeted by Cardi B after the Patriots secured a 28-16 victory over the Houston Texans in their divisional playoff clash.
The rapper, who is romantically linked to New England receiver Stefon Diggs, took issue with the “NFL Live” team, which included Kimes, Hannah Storm, Ryan Clark, Dan Orlovsky, and Marcus Spears, for their collective prediction favoring the Texans in a social media clip.
Kimes had shared the original video prior to the game.
After the match, Cardi shared a snippet from “NFL Live” where she joined other ESPN personalities to voice her disbelief.
“What are you talking about? Nothing!” Cardi exclaimed.
“They didn’t believe in us!!! I love us!!!!!! We have everything!!!!!! We have everything we need!!!!,” was the enthusiastic caption accompanying her post.
Storm filled in for regular host Laura Rutledge during the episode.
Kimes later replied to a comment asking if winning is better, humorously saying, “Yes (lol). All our stupid asses thought we were smart,” referring to the “NFL Live” crew.
Cardi missed the game in Foxboro as she was busy preparing for her upcoming “Little Miss Drama Tour,” set to kick off next month.
The couple, who went public with their relationship on Instagram last June, welcomed a son in November.
The Patriots are headed to their first AFC title game in seven years and will face the Broncos in Denver on January 25.
Notably, backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham will start in the title game for the first time after Bo Nix suffered an ankle injury during overtime.
In the game against the Texans, Diggs recorded four catches for 40 yards and a touchdown.
Diggs, 32, has been in the spotlight for reasons beyond football recently, facing allegations of assaulting a personal chef, which he has denied through his attorney, David Meyer.
He was initially scheduled for arraignment on January 23, just before the AFC Championship, but has received a postponement until February 13, due to “pre-scheduled professional commitments,” according to Meyer.
