Saturday Night Live has addressed reports of a backstage disruption during the taping of its 1,000th episode, which featured an appearance by Cardi B. The speculation centers on a joke delivered during the “Weekend Update” segment, hosted by Michael Che and Colin Jost. While the precise wording of the joke has not been disclosed, several outlets reported that it referenced Nicki Minaj and alleged political associations.
According to TMZ, citing unnamed sources, Cardi reacted strongly to the remark. The report claims she threw her phone toward a monitor, damaging equipment, and at one point considered leaving the set. The joke was ultimately removed from the broadcast. Individuals familiar with the production suggested the matter had been resolved and indicated that the show would not rule out working with her again.
Silence, Split, and a Fresh Start
Cardi B has not publicly commented on the episode. The reports surfaced during a period of personal transition for the rapper. Recent coverage has indicated that she and NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs ended their relationship shortly before the New England Patriots’ Super Bowl appearance.
A source speaking to Us Weekly described the relationship as cyclical. “They are always so up and down. This isn’t the first time they have broken up.” The source added, “Cardi is single and putting herself out there again. She feels free. He betrayed her so many times. Her friends have been trying to show her that he is not right for her and that she deserved better.”
