People watch my every move, says Cardi B after Okoye dating rumours

American rapper Cardi B has voiced frustration over the intense public attention her personal life receives, likening her situation to that of pop star Britney Spears. In a video shared on her Instagram Story, the Grammy-winning artist suggested that while she is privy to much celebrity gossip, her own private matters are disproportionately highlighted by the media.

Cardi B stated that she possesses extensive knowledge of other celebrities' relationships and personal affairs but observes that such information rarely becomes public knowledge. "Nobody reports about it. You want to know why? Because nobody cares," she remarked, contrasting this with the constant coverage of her own activities.

“

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. You want to know why? Because nobody cares.

"But when it comes to me… I can’t even… do anything without people talking about it. This is crazy," she lamented, expressing a sense of being under constant surveillance. Despite the pressure, she acknowledged the reality of life in the spotlight, adding, "You’ve got to take the good with the bad. It is what it is. People pay for this type of talk."

These comments emerge amid renewed dating rumors linking Cardi B with Nigerian Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye. The pair were recently spotted dining together in Venice, Italy, and had previously appeared at the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture Show during Paris Fashion Week. Okoye has also faced recent allegations of domestic abuse, infidelity, and parental neglect from the mother of his child, though he has not publicly responded to these claims.
