British-Jamaican singer, Stefflon Don, has sparked widespread conversation on social media after appearing to throw a subtle jab at her ex-boyfriend, Nigerian music star Burna Boy.
The former celebrity couple were romantically involved from 2019 until their highly publicized split in 2021, which was reportedly marred by allegations of infidelity and personal differences.
Stefflon Don’s recent comment under an Instagram post by Captain Ibrahim Traoré, the current President of Burkina Faso, has reignited talks about her past with Burna Boy. The artist referred to Traoré as “The real giant of Africa”, a phrase famously associated with Burna Boy, who often uses the title “African Giant” to refer to himself.
This seemingly innocent comment was quickly picked up by fans and social media users, who interpreted it as a subtle dig at Burna Boy. The post has since gone viral, with fans taking sides and reacting passionately to what many see as a veiled jab.
Here are some of the online reactions that followed her comment:
Miranda Chinenye remarked, “She’s so right 💯. Even though this is coming from the heart of breakfast.”
Ebys Heart wrote, “She is right, what this man has done and is still doing will forever be remembered by history, even in the face of oppression and intimidation. Imagine the West trying to arrest him for being a good president to his people.”
Ify Jules stated, “Jealousy wan kill dis one since Burna broke her heart 😂😂😂😂😆.”
Johnerous asserted, “Giant of Africa in aspect of ruling. Burna Boy is the Giant of Africa in the aspect of music 😊.”
The post and its reactions continue to trend online as fans dissect every angle of Stefflon Don's statement and the timing of her message.
