Stefflon Don’s Post On President Traoré Reignites Burna Boy Buzz

British rapper Stefflon Don praised Burkina Faso’s President Traoré as the “real Giant of Africa,” a move many believe subtly shaded her ex, Burna Boy.

British rapper Stefflon Don has stirred conversations on social media after she posted a photo of Burkina Faso’s interim leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, and referred to him as “The real Giant of Africa.”

While she didn’t name anyone specifically, many online believe the message was a subtle jab at her ex-boyfriend, Nigerian singer Burna Boy, who is famously known as the “African Giant.”

The choice of words and timing led fans to believe the rapper was reigniting past tensions. Although the couple ended their relationship in 2021, their public fallout has remained a topic of speculation. Burna Boy’s hit song “Last Last” is often linked to the emotional aftermath of their breakup, while Stefflon Don has occasionally shared cryptic posts that fans interpret as indirect responses.

This latest Instagram story only added fuel to the fire. Social media users were quick to jump in, debating whether Stefflon’s post was a harmless admiration for Captain Traoré or a veiled insult aimed at her ex.

“She didn’t call names, but we know who she meant,” one user wrote, while another quipped, “Omo na Odogwu get this post normally ooo… Make una reason am well.”

Others took a more humorous approach, noting Burna Boy’s self-confidence. “No giant lol. Spends money on jewelry and called you poor. This guy just has a giant ego,” someone commented. Another user defended her: “He blocked you and you’re still throwing shade? He must really be living rent-free in your head.”

Meanwhile, fans of Traoré were quick to shift the conversation, praising the young military leader’s courage and leadership. “The most important man in Africa right now,” one user claimed. “He needs to be protected. A real leader.” Many flooded the comment section with Burkina Faso flags and expressions of admiration, calling him “a true giant” and “a president Africa should learn from.”

Amid the mixed reactions, some reminded others not to get distracted by celebrity drama. “Don’t distract that man with your big ikebe abeg,” one user humorously wrote. Another added, “Let’s focus on leadership, not heartbreak.”

The post, whether intended as a playful tease or a genuine endorsement of a new African hero, has once again brought Stefflon Don and Burna Boy’s complicated history into public view. It has also reminded fans just how quickly the internet can connect a few words to a much larger narrative.
