Nicolas Moumi Ngamaleu involved in cheating scandal
The incident reportedly occurred at the Moscow apartment the 31-year-old shares with his partner, Russian influencer Nikki Seey.
According to circulating footage, Ngamaleu, dressed in Cameroon training shorts, was seen standing outside the apartment in a heated exchange with security personnel.
Nikki is said to have arrived at the scene with a friend after learning that the footballer had brought another woman into their home.
Upon confrontation, Moumi allegedly attempted to stop them from entering, insisting his “uncle” was inside.

Suspicious of his claims, Nikki, who turned 25 recently, contacted the police, who later forced entry into the apartment. Inside, they reportedly found another woman trying to cover her face, visibly embarrassed by the situation.
Reports from African football journalist Micky Jnr indicate that Nikki has since moved out, taking her belongings and asking Moumi to vacate the apartment. The matter has also been reported to local authorities for further investigation.
The couple had made their relationship public in July, often sharing affectionate moments on social media.
Many fans believed they were headed toward marriage before this scandal surfaced.
Here's a post on Ngamaleu making his relationship official:
Allegations suggest the Russian influencer discovered incriminating messages that hinted at her partner’s unfaithfulness, which triggered the confrontation.

Public reactions and Ngamaleu's silence
The news has sparked widespread debate across social media, with fans and commentators offering mixed reactions to the unfolding drama.
@KawaggaTony remarked:
"Never marry outside Africa."
@mombwe2 questioned Moumi’s actions:
"Why did he bring a woman into his 'matrimonial home'? Couldn't he rent a lodge or something? Mistake number 1, bro!"
@kaka_Living speculated:
"I think there is a snitch neighbour there."
@mbambo13_nkosie shrugged off the story:
"So what's the big deal?"
So far, Ngamaleu has remained silent on the matter, and Dynamo Moscow has yet to issue an official statement.
The timing is far from ideal for the winger, who has been named in Cameroon’s squad for their upcoming World Cup Qualifier against DR Congo on November 13 in Rabat, according to FIFA.
Below is the squad list for Cameroon ahead of their game against DR Congo:
Meanwhile, the Indomitable Lions are already battling internal tensions between the Cameroon FA, its president, Samuel Eto’o, head coach Marc Brys, and the sports ministry, making Ngamaleu’s personal controversy yet another unwanted distraction for the national team.
Ngamaleu backed to overcome scandal ahead of playoffs
To get a clearer picture of the situation, YEN.com.gh spoke to African football expert Micky Jnr about what the scandal might mean for Ngamaleu.
"To be honest, seeing Ngamaleu back in camp is already a strong statement from the player," Micky said.
"Based on the report I made on him a few days ago, the scandal was definitely an unfortunate distraction but he’s handled it with maturity, kept his head down and focused on football.
"Will it take a toll on his performance? It depends. Situations like this can affect players differently. But Ngamaleu has the experience, the mentality and the professionalism to block out the noise when it matters most.
"And in a high-stakes eliminator like this one, he knows Cameroon needs him at 100%. So if anything, I think he’ll use this moment to respond on the pitch."
