‘Boy, That’s a Lie,’ But Whatever’: Stefflon Don Talks Ex-Boyfriend Burna Boy and Her First Impression of His Smash Hit ‘Last Last’

British-Jamaican rapper Stefflon Don sat down with radio show host TT Torez on Hot 97 and discussed ex-boyfriend, Burna Boy, smash hit, “Last Last” – which peaked at number three on Billboard’s U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart.

When the “Bum Bum Tam Tam” rapper was asked if she thought she was the inspiration behind his Toni Braxton-sampled hit, she left it up for interpretation as she told TT, “What do you think? Whatever you think, is what it is.” 

Don continued to discuss her feelings after listening to the song and even noted raising an eyebrow when she heard one of the verses, “What I heard, how did I feel? He said something in there that I was like ‘Boy, that’s a lie, but whatever.’ It’s whatever.”

Although the duo confirmed their split in 2021 after spending nearly three years together, the London native revealed she and the Nigerian singer have been broken up longer than people would have realized or expected. 

“People don’t know we’ve actually broken up for a year now. People don’t know that because I guess they thought we were together when we weren’t. I haven’t dated since, like no one I haven’t even been out on a date.”

Fans of Don and Burna Boy suggested the two need to stop the games and find their way back to each other. 

“Y’all belong together stop playing”

“She’s like ‘boy was just over here last night’ Lol”

“I promise you they didn’t really break up at all [laughing emoji]” 

While things may have seemed all lovey-dovey between the two, their relationship seemingly turned sour in 2020 after cheating allegations about Burna Boy made their way onto the scene. While neither one of them has publicly spoken about what prompted their breakup Don has alleged fans to believe it had something to do with Burna Boy’s ego. 

The interview with Torez was the first time Don has spoken about her former beau and their relationship. 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
