Cardi B and Nigerian Goalkeeper Maduka Okoye Dinnered in Venice

American rapper Cardi B was seen dining with Nigerian international goalkeeper Maduka Okoye at Gio’s restaurant inside the St. Regis Hotel in Venice, Italy. The low‑key group dinner sparked widespread speculation about a possible romantic relationship, though neither party has confirmed or denied the rumours.

Cardi B later addressed the media attention, saying she feels constantly scrutinised and commented on her dating preferences during an Instagram Story and an X Spaces conversation. She noted that the sightings, including a previous joint appearance at the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture show in Paris, have fueled online debate, but she has not provided any official statement about a relationship.
