American rapper Cardi B has fueled fresh dating speculation after she was spotted enjoying a dinner with Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye in Venice, Italy.
According to reports, the pair were seen sitting side by side at Gio’s Restaurant inside the St. Regis Hotel.
The outing marks their second public appearance together, after Okoye accompanied the Grammy-winning rapper to the Jean Paul Gaultier show during Paris Fashion Week earlier this month.
Photos and videos from the dinner quickly circulated online, prompting fans to speculate that the two may be romantically involved.
Many social media users praised their chemistry, while others jokingly compared Okoye to Cardi B’s estranged husband, Offset.

The Venice trip comes as Cardi B continues divorce proceedings from Offset, which she filed in 2024.
Despite the growing rumors, neither Cardi B nor Okoye has publicly addressed the nature of their relationship.
Meanwhile, Okoye’s former partner, Dutch model Jelicia Westhoff, recently made headlines after posting and later deleting a series of social media stories accusing the footballer of abuse, infidelity and neglecting their child.
The allegations have not been substantiated, and Okoye has not publicly responded to them.
As speculation continues to grow, fans are closely watching to see whether Cardi B and the Nigerian international will confirm or deny the rumors surrounding their relationship.
