Cardi B Sparks Fresh Romance Rumours With Super Eagles Star Maduka Okoye

American rapper Cardi B has sparked fresh speculation about her relationship with Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye after describing the Nigerian footballer as “really sweet” and “very kind.”

According to Bush Radio Academy, the comments came after the pair were reportedly spotted together for the third time, with their latest sighting taking place in Italy on Thursday, September 3.

The development occurred just hours after Okoye’s Udinese side secured a 2-1 comeback victory over Venezia in the Coppa Italia round of 32.

Cardi B had previously spoken positively about Okoye while spending time with friends at a waterfront restaurant in Venice. She reportedly described the goalkeeper as someone who appears serious on social media but is much kinder in person, adding that she hoped to see more of him.

The pair were first spotted together at the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week. They were seen sitting beside each other before later engaging in conversation at a private event.

Their second public appearance together reportedly took place during a dinner in Venice, while the latest sighting in Italy has further intensified speculation among fans about the nature of their connection.

Despite the growing public interest, neither Cardi B nor Okoye has confirmed that they are romantically involved. Reports also indicate that other people accompanied them during their outings in Paris and Venice, leaving the true nature of their relationship unclear.

Okoye, who was born in Düsseldorf to a Nigerian father and German mother, has attracted attention beyond the football pitch this year, including appearances at Paris Fashion Week and the Formula One British Grand Prix.

For now, the repeated sightings and Cardi B’s complimentary remarks have continued to fuel speculation, but there has been no official confirmation of a romantic relationship between the two.
