Celebrity sightings at football games have always been a part of the gameday experience on an NFL Sunday. That tradition continued when the New England Patriots hosted the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9, but fans were not expecting to see the person who joined Patriots owner Robert Kraft in the suite at Gillette Stadium.
New England got off to a strong start, taking a 21-7 lead in the first half. Quarterback Drake Maye continued his stellar season by tossing two first-half touchdown passes, including one to star veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
While Kraft celebrated the early lead, he was joined by rapper Cardi B, leaving social media full of questions.

"The combo no one asked for," responded a user.
"Patriots are giving Cardi B the Taylor Swift treatment," quipped a reply.
Some commenters pointed out that the odd duo may be less surprising than originally thought. One fan reposted an old video of Kraft dancing during a Cardi B performance at a Fanatics event.

The 33-year-old hitmaker had personal motivation to be at the game that had nothing to do with the Patriots owner. She has been in an on-and-off relationship with Diggs and is pregnant with his child.

In an appearance on "CBS Mornings" with Gayle King in September, Cardi B called Diggs her boyfriend and announced the pregnancy. She said the Patriots wideout "just makes me feel safe and very confident and very strong."
When asked about the baby news, Diggs was a little more guarded. "I won't talk too much about my personal life but I heard about it," he told reporters the following day.
