Cardi B is moving fast with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye in Venice, but his past is already catching up with them.
The two were spotted at an upscale dinner in Italy just days after being photographed together at Paris Fashion Week, and while the romance looks picture-perfect on the surface, Okoye’s ex-girlfriend is raising serious red flags about his character and behavior.
Jelicia Westhoff, Okoye’s former partner of four years, went public on social media with allegations that paint a troubling picture of the athlete.
She accused him of physical abuse, infidelity, and abandoning their three-year-old son.
“I made you! No one knew who you was,” Westhoff wrote. “And instead of loving us, you beat me, cheated on me with men and women. You’re a demon who tried to destroy my life.”
The accusations didn’t stop there. Westhoff continued, “You was cheating on me with everything. I did everything what a woman could do for you because I loved you, until I found out that you liked both sides. You’re so open with who you’re dating and speaking to. Let’s also be open about your sexuality.
“Your son that you wanted so badly when you were still broke, and I had to give you money. I was so scared to take you to court, so scared to press charges, so scared to do anything, because I knew you would punish our child. But you know what, I have been calm. I gave you 1000000 chances, and do you take care of him? No,” she fumed.
For Cardi B, this new connection arrives at a moment when her relationship history is already defined by chaos and public heartbreak.
Her 2024 divorce from Offset was messy, involving public Instagram Live arguments where she accused him of starting a “court war” and being deliberately difficult during custody negotiations.
The split came after years of on-and-off drama, infidelity accusations, and reconciliations that kept fans exhausted.
Just months after filing for divorce from Offset, Cardi B moved on with NFL star Stefon Diggs,, but that relationship also fell apart recently.
She confirmed the breakup during an LA concert in February 2026, warning others not to make the same mistakes she did.
Now she’s diving headfirst into another situation with potential complications already visible. Whether Cardi’s aware of Okoye’s baggage remains unclear, but the pattern of her choosing men with serious issues is becoming impossible to ignore.
Time will tell if this Venice romance survives the scrutiny.
