Add Page Six on Google Cardi B fans are shipping the rapper and Nigerian soccer star Maduka Okoye after the duo’s Paris Fashion Week flirt fest.

The rapper, 33, was wearing a show-stopping zebra bodysuit with platform black boots.

TikTok users gushed over the pair “look[ing] good together” — even before their flirtatious exchange on a Parisian restaurant’s terrace.

“Maduka is really making Cardi B blush out here,” one fan tweeted, with another claiming the songwriter “look[ed] like she [was] having butterflies.”
Others, however, poked fun at social media going into “meltdown mode” over the pair’s interactions.
Cardi’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker’s last public relationship was with another athlete — NFL player Stefon Diggs.
The on-again, off-again couple debuted their romance in May 2025 on the heels of Cardi and estranged husband Offset’s split.
The American Music Award winner announced four months later that she was pregnant with baby No. 3, her first child with Diggs.
The little one, now 8 months, was born in November 2025, and his name has yet to be revealed.
Cardi and Diggs, 32, broke up earlier this year, only to pack on the PDA while celebrating Mother’s Day — and then have a heated coffee shop clash caught on camera in May.
The current status of their romance remains unclear.
As for Okoye and Westhoff, they share a son named Isaiah.
