Maduka Okoye’s baby mama Jelicia Westhoff has shared a pointed message about fathers who fail to take care of their children — and the timing is raising eyebrows.
The Dutch model took to Threads with a blunt statement: “Dating a man, that doesn’t take care of his kids, that’s a character problem babe.”
Westhoff did not name anyone in the post. However, the message comes after she previously accused her ex, Nigerian soccer player Maduka Okoye, of neglecting their young child.
The latest post adds another chapter to the public drama surrounding Okoye and Westhoff, which previously unfolded amid speculation about Okoye’s connection to rapper Cardi B.
Back in July, Okoye was photographed out with Cardi B on multiple occasions in Italy and Paris. The appearances fueled speculation about the pair’s relationship, while Westhoff was publicly raising concerns involving her former partner and their child.
Cardi later referenced the surrounding dating speculation and drama, appearing to address the attention surrounding her personal life.
Westhoff’s latest message, though brief, puts the focus back on the issue she has previously raised: a parent’s responsibility to their child.
For now, she has not explicitly identified the person she was referring to in the Threads post. That leaves the message open to interpretation, although its timing and the history between Westhoff and Okoye give it an obvious connection for those following their ongoing drama.
Okoye, a Nigerian professional soccer player, has also been at the center of dating speculation involving Cardi in recent months. Westhoff’s new post now shifts the conversation from the rumored romance back toward the co-parenting dispute that previously made headlines.
And with no name attached to the message, the subtext is doing plenty of talking on its own.
