American rapper Cardi B has addressed the growing speculation about her relationship with Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye after their recent public outing fuelled dating rumours.
The Grammy-winning rapper, who was recently seen having dinner with Okoye and a group of friends at Gio’s Restaurant inside the St. Regis Hotel in Venice, voiced her frustration over what she described as the intense public scrutiny of her personal life.
In a video making the rounds online, Cardi B said she feels her every move is closely monitored, with even ordinary activities quickly becoming the subject of widespread discussion.
She argued that situations involving her often attract far more attention than similar incidents involving other celebrities, adding that aspects of her personal life are frequently blown out of proportion.
“No cap, I’m really hip hop’s Britney Spears. I got all the tea on these celebrities. I know who’s with who and what’s doing what. But guess what? Nobody reports about it because nobody cares.
“But when it comes to me, I can’t even do anything without people talking about it. This is crazy. You’ve got to take the good with the bad. It is what it is. People pay for this type of talk,” she said.
Cardi B’s remarks come as speculation continues to grow over her relationship with Maduka Okoye after the two were spotted together on several occasions, including at Paris Fashion Week and during a recent outing in Venice.
Despite the widespread social media buzz, neither Cardi B nor Okoye has publicly confirmed that they are in a romantic relationship, leaving the rumours unverified.
