Charles Oliveira, UFC star, recently found himself in a swirl of gossip suggesting a romantic involvement with famed rapper Ice Spice.
The unexpected news surprised the Brazilian fighter, and he took to social media to address the allegations.
The rumors emerged not from a reliable news source but from a single tweet by user @beIsfy. The tweet inaccurately cited a well-known MMA-related Instagram account @fullviolence as the source of the rumor, alleging, “Ice Spice & Charles Oliveira are reportedly dating (via @/fullviolence).” As the tweet started trending, fans were surprised at this unusual pairing.
Oliveira quickly ended the speculation by replying directly to the tweet, humorously questioning, “Wat?” This response confirmed the dating rumors were unfounded. Instagram account @Fullviolence also denied being the news source with a post captioned, “Via who??”
Oliveira’s Career in Focus Amidst the False Rumors
While dealing with this rumor, Oliveira channeled his energy into his fighting career. His recent victory over Beneil Dariush at UFC 289 underlined his demand for a rematch with lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. Oliveira is a fighter to watch, with a first-round TKO victory over Dariush and a record of 4-1 in his last five fights.
Amidst the controversy, fans had some light-hearted reactions to the tweet. One of Ice Spice’s followers quipped, “Congrats, bro. I hope you lose your next fight.” Another fan humorously noted, “The fact that Charles is actually responding to this thread is hilarious.” Despite the brief disruption from the baseless rumors, Oliveira has firmly debunked the gossip and continues concentrating on his fighting career.
