American rapper Cardi B has further fueled dating rumours involving Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye after describing him as “really sweet” and “very kind.”
The pair were spotted together for the third time in Italy on Thursday, September 3, shortly after Okoye’s Udinese defeated Venezia 2-1 in the Coppa Italia round of 32.
Cardi B had earlier praised the goalkeeper while having dinner with friends at a waterfront restaurant in Venice.
“He was really sweet. When you see him on social media, he looks very strict and stern, but he is very kind. I hope to see more of him,” she said.
The duo were first seen together at the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week. They later chatted on a balcony at a private event.
They were spotted again at the Venice dinner before their latest appearance in Italy.
However, neither Cardi B nor Okoye has confirmed a romantic relationship. Other people were also present during each outing.
Okoye, born in Dusseldorf to a Nigerian father and German mother, has attracted more attention off the pitch this year through appearances at Paris Fashion Week and the Formula One British Grand Prix.
For now, both remain silent on the rumours, leaving fans to draw their own conclusions.
