Giants’ Malik Nabers already feuding with Cowboys’ Trevon Diggs before rookie season

Some beef is brewing between Malik Nabers and Trevon Diggs. 

The Cowboys cornerback reposted a video on X of Nabers, the Giants’ 2024 first-round pick, saying he couldn’t wait to face Diggs in the NFL in May during the NFLPA Rookie Premiere event, kicking off the feud that spilled into the public view Tuesday. 

Diggs, a two-time Pro Bowler, doubled down, posting again on X minutes later: “Giants been getting belt for some years now.”

Nabers was quick to respond, reposting the same video on X, this time with a coffin emoji. 

The back-and-forth got uglier from there when Nabers posted a screenshot of song lyrics from “Boot Up” by NBA YoungBoy in a now-deleted X post. 

“P—-y want to Insta’ beef, he Tweetin’ and I see all of that,” the lyrics read. 

Diggs would later clap back, reposting the NFLPA event video again with a ninja emoji.

The teams will meet again in Dallas during Week 13 on Thanksgiving.
