Big Brother Naija former housemate Uriel Oputa has reacted to rumours of American rapper Cardi B dating Nigerian goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye.
Newsunplug reported that the two had sparked relationship rumours after they were spotted enjoying a luxury waterfront dinner in Venice, Italy. The duo were seated side by side at an upscale restaurant overlooking one of Venice’s iconic canals, enjoying an intimate evening together.
That wasn’t the first time they were spotted together, as earlier in the month, they had both attended the Jean Paul Gautier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture show, where Maduka was filmed helping her to her seat.
They were later spotted at the balcony of a hotel after the show.
Weighing in, Uriel asked if women don’t spend time healing after relationships. She noted how Cardi hasn’t taken 6 months or a year leave and stays moving on to another chapter.
Uriel questioned what the better approach is- healing or being open to new love when it shows up. She pondered if healing now means living our life and moving forward.
“Cardi B has me asking a serious question: Are women spending too much time ‘Healing’ after relationships?
My girl doesn’t disappear for 6 months.
A year, or two years.
She closes one chapter and keeps it moving.
So what’s the better approach in 2026?
Taking years to heal, or being open for new love when it shows up?
Maybe healing isn’t always hiding from relationships. Maybe sometimes healing is living your life and moving forward”.
