Saturday Night Live has responded to reports surrounding the filming of its 1000th episode, which included an appearance from Cardi B. Recently, claims surfaced suggesting the Bronx rapper reacted strongly after a joke on set did not sit well with her.

The moment in question reportedly took place during the show’s well known "Weekend Update" segment with Michael Che and Colin Jost. The joke was said to involve Cardi’s longtime rival Nicki Minaj and her connection to Donald Trump.

Details about the joke itself remain unclear, but it was enough to upset the "Motorsport" rapper. According to reports, Cardi allegedly threw her phone at a monitor, struck a screen, and threatened to walk off set.

Because of her reaction, the joke was ultimately removed from the segment. Sources cited by TMZ claim the incident did occur and suggested that Cardi was already having a difficult night, which may have contributed to her reaction.

Did Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Break Up?

Despite the situation, it does not appear to have caused any lasting issues with Saturday Night Live. Reports indicate that while the behavior is not something the show supports, it is no longer a problem. If Cardi B chooses to return in the future, she would still be welcomed.

Cardi has not publicly responded to the reports so far, but the outcome may still work in her favor.

There are also bigger developments happening in her personal life. Reports have suggested that she and Stefon Diggs recently went their separate ways, just days before the New England Patriots’ Super Bowl loss.

A source speaking to Us Weekly claimed this is not the first time the two have broken up. "They are always so up and down. This isn’t the first time they have broken up."

That aligns with Cardi’s own comments during her tour, where she indicated they were no longer together. 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."
