The truth about Burna Boy's relationship with Stefflon Don.
One of Burna Boy's most high-profile relationships was with British Jamaican rapper and singer Stefflon Don. The duo went public with their romance in 2019 and it sent social media into a frenzy.
Fans and peers alike frequently fawned over the couple's chemistry and their social media posts, so it was a surprise to many when news broke that the two had split.
Word on the street is that the song "Last Last" was actually about Stefflon and she coyly confirmed that rumor in an interview with HOT 97.

Jada Kingdom and Stefflon Don are beefing over Burna Boy — here's why.
Always one to keep the fans and the media talking, Burna Boy set tongues wagging again when he referenced dancehall artist Jada Kingdom on his 2023 single "Taliban II." Fans were particularly shocked when Burna stated that he bought the Jamaican singer a Birkin bag.
Unsurprisingly, fans began to investigate and soon found out that Jada was spotted hanging out with the Afrobeats icon in several cities around the world. The intrigue reached a fever pitch when they spotted her rocking one of his chains on social media.
Thus, the love triangle between Jada, Steff, and Burna Boy was born.
Their beef began after Stefflon seemingly called out Jada on her song, "Dat a Dat." Although she did not name Jada, she insinuated that they were both dating Burna at the same time.

When Jada caught wind of the diss, she retaliated on social media.
Fans were intrigued and fascinated by the drama, prompting Jamaican legend Sean Paul to publicly speak out and simmer down the beef, his efforts were to no avail. More scathing diss tracks have since been exchanged between the duo.
Before the drama, Burna Boy dated *this* Gambian actress.
Long before Jada and Stefflon were going at it, Burna dated Gambian actress Princess Shyngle. Although the relationship was kept under wraps, fans eventually caught wind of their romance.
The relationship was short-lived, and not many details have been revealed to the public since their split.
