Cicero tried or years and drove himself insane trying to be the listener. He would probably be plenty jealous if someone who was barely into the Dark Brotherhood was chosen, being passed by years of service. Some jealousy is bound to take hold. Plus, Cicero is insane. He could probably do what he wanted and not care.

As per the original question, I highly doubt Cicero was the adoring fan, as the Adoring fan was elvish and Cicero human.
