Cardi B and Maduka Okoye are making headlines again after their most recent spotting.
According to the viral post, the two were seen on a date in Udine, Italy, on Tuesday night, Sept. 1. The post shared that they attended Udinese’s Coppa Italia match against Venezia at the Bluenergy Stadium earlier this week. Udinese won 2-1 over Venezia.
In the video, the two seem to be aimlessly walking around an outdoor restaurant. Cardi is seen getting out of a black SUV in a nude colored dress, and Okoye was spotted in a more casual fit with a sleeveless graphic shirt and a red cap.
Cardi B makes rare comment about Maduka Okoye
In an interview with Vogue Arabia last week, the Grammy-winning rapper shared how it was connecting with the Nigerian footballer during Paris Fashion Week.
“He was really sweet. When you see him on social media, he looks very strict, stern, but he is very kind,” said Cardi.
She was later asked if she has plans to see “more” of him, which made the rapper giggle as she responded, “I hope so.”
Cardi and Okoye went viral when the athlete helped the rapper into her seat at the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture in July.
Neither party has confirmed the nature of their relationship.
Cardi was most recently in a relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs. The two welcomed a baby together in November 2025 but have seemingly been on and off again since February 2026.
