Cardi B has spoken out after fresh speculation linked her to Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
The American rapper said she cannot do anything without people turning it into a headline, suggesting her personal life receives far more attention than that of other celebrities.
In a video shared online, Cardi B compared herself to Britney Spears, saying public interest in her life has reached another level.
No cap, I am really hip-hop’s Britney Spears. I have all the tea on these celebrities. I know who is with who and what is doing what. But guess what? Nobody reports about it because nobody cares.
She went on to explain that even ordinary moments quickly become talking points.
But when it comes to me, I cannot even do anything without people talking about it. This is crazy. You have got to take the good with the bad. It is what it is. People pay for this type of talk.
Her remarks follow recent appearances with the Nigerian goalkeeper, including a dinner with friends in Venice and an earlier outing during Paris Fashion Week.
Neither star has confirmed the dating rumours.
