Listen up, gossip lovers – Chelsea football star Lauren James just revealed she’d be open to linking up with Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy!
In a recent interview, the 22-year-old English forward was asked to name three dinner guests. After picking the interviewer and comedy great Kevin Hart, James raised eyebrows by adding Nigerian music icon Burna Boy.

Let’s unpack this tea:
First, a Lauren James recap. This talented winger is a rising phenom for Chelsea and England. She helped lead the Lionesses to second place at the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
James gained attention in Nigeria after an on-field incident with Super Falcons’ Michelle Alozie in the tournament. Clearly on their radar.
As for Burna Boy, his talent is undisputed. He’s an Afrobeats pioneer with hits like “Last Last,” “Ye,” and recent chart-topper “Common Person.” New ‘Studio Album, ‘I Told Them‘ packed with irresistible beats.
And fine, the man’s been looking rather fine on Instagram. Don’t pretend you haven’t double-tapped those flexing pics.
So Lauren, we applaud your vision! Dinner with comedy great Kevin Hart, then wine and dine with the Nigerian music hunk? Shoot your shot, girl!
No word yet on if Burna Boy would kick it with a world-class footballer. But consider this an opening kick-off, Lauren! Let us know if you score that date – we’ll be cheering!
