‘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.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
