DJ Akademiks first ignited rumors of their romance in October 2024 when he claimed on his YouTube channel, "If you don't know, Stefon Diggs is dating Cardi B." He added, "Cardi B left Offset ... she got with Stefon Diggs."
Cardi later addressed the claims in an Instagram Live, saying, "The internet is insane. All these rumors are so crazy. That's why I don't want to address it, because this s--- is funny."
"I'm just going to let it ride out, because I think it's cute. It's funny. I'm going to let people think what they want to think," she continued.

A plane passenger is recalling a recent travel experience that involved another flier cutting him in line while boarding
He claims the traveler told him they were “all getting on the same plane” so it didn’t matter what boarding group they were in
The passenger then got to witness the satisfying aftermath when the woman finally reached the front of the line
A plane passenger is recalling how he witnessed a fellow traveler try to bend the rules at the airport — and faced an unexpected result.
The passenger sets the scene by explaining that despite being a frequent flyer, he was assigned to boarding group D on this particular flight, in a post shared to the Entitled People forum on Reddit.
When their group was called by the gate agent, the original poster (OP) explains that he joined "a very long line” when another flier suddenly “decides that she is going to hop in front of me, saying, ‘We're all getting on the same plane, right?’”
The OP says he caught a glimpse of her ticket and saw she was in boarding group F, which was “two groups behind mine,” he pointed out.

“While in theory she was right, I was too tired to argue, and also, I was hoping she would embarrass herself,” he continued.
As if right on cue, when they finally reached the front of the line, the passenger says he watched the woman scan her boarding pass — and then get denied.
The OP recalls how the gate agent told the woman: "Ma'am this is group D not group F," to which the woman allegedly replied with the same line: "We're all getting on the same plane."
While the gate agent stood her ground, according to the post, the woman also kept pushing back and asked, "But I'm already here at the desk, why can't you make an exception?"

The woman then tried to bring the OP into the conversation, telling the gate agent, "Well, this gentleman let me go ahead of him," according to the post.
When the gate agent asked him if he knew the woman, the OP said he responded with a simple, “Nope.”
After grabbing the poster's ticket and scanning it, the gate agent told him, “I hope you have a safe flight, sir,” he wrote in the post. She then turned back to the woman and said, "Ma'am, You need to wait until your group is called. If you do not move, we will have to call authorities."
Despite watching the whole ordeal unfold, the OP concluded: “I chuckled as I walked past her.”

Many outraged users flocked to the comments section to scold the woman for her behavior.
“If ‘we are all getting on the same plane and it doesn't matter’ then boarding with your group isn't an issue, right???” one person questioned.
Another pointed out that there are rules when it comes to the boarding process for a reason.
"Boarding group, even with assigned seats, matters a lot, as it is what determines if you get bin storage for your carry on. If I do not have a carry on, I don't care what group I board in,” they noted.
Others questioned why the woman was in such a hurry to get on the plane, as they prefer to spend as little time in the aircraft as possible.
"Call me weird, I don’t see having to spend an extra ten minutes on the airplane as a win,” one person wrote, followed by another who added, “Besides overhead bin space, I don't understand the rush to sit down for hours. I know it helps with boarding, but waiting till the end is the way to go.”

Some airlines are starting to introduce new measures to ensure that passengers are caught when they try to cut the line while boarding.
In October 2024, American Airlines said they were testing out new technology that would send out an “audible signal” to alert gate agents when passengers try to board before their assigned group is called.
“We are in the early phase of testing new technology used during the boarding process. The new technology is designed to ensure customers receive the benefits of priority boarding with ease and helps improve the boarding experience by providing greater visibility into boarding progress for our team,” an American Airlines rep told PEOPLE at the time.
