Maduka Okoye’s ex Jelicia Westhoff accused the professional soccer star of being a deadbeat dad after he was seen out to dinner with Cardi B.
“Imagine i shut my f–king mouth, Lied about what YOU did to me, so you Could continue YOUR career and all you do is embarrasing [sic] US,” the model wrote and later deleted, according to screenshots shared online.
“YOU make me look like im a bitter Baby mother when i helped you when NO one was there for you!!! … YOU DONT TAKE CARE OF YOUR 1 and only SON! BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO BE WITH YOU I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU.”
Westhoff claimed Okoye, 26, doesn’t call or see their son, Isaiah Emil Jr. Okoye, because he is too “busy punishing his mother and being a baddie on social media.”
She claimed that Okoye didn’t visit their now-3-year-old when he was hospitalized this past December.
“MY son got hospitalized 4 times, ON the intensive care, with an ambulance!!!” she wrote. “his FATHER Didnt even [come]! [tell me] Which father doesn’t [go] to his child when your child is fighting for his life? Explain this to me?? Cause you Cant be with the mother???”
The mom of one also claimed that Okoye allegedly cheated on her with both men and women and allegedly physically abused her.
In an exclusive statement to Page Six, Westhoff said she has “nothing against” Cardi.
“[It’s] about you going out with any woman in public knowing that you don’t take care of your child,” she told us.
Page Six has reached out to both Okoye and Cardi’s reps for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Westhoff’s comments came after the “WAP” rapper, 33, and the goalkeeper were spotted dining in Italy.
Per video obtained by TMZ, Okoye and Cardi (real name: Belcalis Almánzar) grabbed a bite at Gio’s restaurant at the St. Regis with a group of other men.
The Grammy winner — who rocked a plunging turquoise dress — and the athlete were seated next to each other and appeared to be having a great conversation. There was reportedly no PDA.
Earlier this month, Cardi and Okoye set the internet on fire when they were seen sitting side by side at the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture show for Paris Fashion Week.
Social media users gushed when video surfaced of Okoye grabbing Cardi’s hand to help her to her seat.
The two were later seen having a flirty conversation on a Parisian restaurant’s terrace.
The “Bodak Yellow” emcee recently split from Stefon Diggs.
Cardi and the NFL free agent, 32, have been dating on and off since 2024 and welcomed their son last November. Diggs has fathered five other kids.
The “Hustlers” actress shares three other children with her estranged husband, Offset (real name: Kiari Cephus).
