Cardi B and Maduka Okoye have been sparking internet rumors for months, and it appears as though there is smoke where there is fire.

Cardi B's dating life always seems to attract attention. Whether it's Offset or Stefon Diggs, fans and tabloids are seemingly always on the lookout for new information. This was especially true in July as Cardi was seen sitting next to Nigerian soccer star Maduka Okoye at a fashion event in Europe.

Subsequently, Cardi and Okoye were seen outside of the event, and it appeared as though they were flirting with one another. This then led to dating rumors, with Okoye's exes coming out of the woodwork to declare him a cheater.

Since that time, updates surrounding Cardi B and Okoye have been few and far between. It would have been easy to assume whatever they had going on had fizzled out, and now, they were simply doing their own thing. However, that all changed this week as Livebitez posted a photo of Cardi B and Okoye in Italy together.

Once again, there is very little information surrounding this alleged relationship. Cardi B has not confirmed anything, and neither has Okoye. Instead, the two continue to be spotted together, and all fans can do is speculate on what's going on here.

Interestingly enough, just last week, Cardi B went on a rant about Offset and how she has no intention of ever sleeping with him again. These comments came after some blogs on Twitter ran with the idea that she was secretly sleeping with her ex-husband.

As for Okoye, he has remained quiet throughout this entire process. He understands that Cardi B is a big star, and he doesn't appear interested in getting involved in the social media mess of it all.
