Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has finally addressed the viral rumor linking him to a woman named Jessie Awazie. The Grammy-winning artist firmly denied knowing her, letting fans and bloggers know that the story making rounds is completely false.
Over the weekend, social media was buzzing with claims that Burna Boy was allegedly having an affair with Jessie Awazie — a name unfamiliar to many until the rumor broke out. In response to the growing speculation, Burna Boy took to his social media, writing:
“I don’t even know who that is. Please y’all rest.”
This short but direct response has sparked reactions from fans who were divided over the issue. While some believe it’s just another case of someone chasing clout by using Burna Boy’s name, others are calling for more accountability from blogs that spread such stories without solid proof.
Who is Jessie Awazie?
Very little is known publicly about Jessie Awazie before the rumor surfaced. According to online chatter, she is said to be an influencer and entrepreneur, but there’s no verified connection between her and Burna Boy. No photos, chats, or credible reports link the two together — making the rumor even shakier.

Here are a few reactions:
