A certain lady identified as Jopearl has taken to Instagram to claim she was in a love affair with Burna Boy.
In separate videos shared on her Instagram page on Tuesday, Jopearl stated that her relationship with Burna Boy lasted for about two years.
The lady said she decided to break her silence as her resolve to keep it a secret has continued to hurt her.
“Two years is such a long time for a person to be hidden. It has affected me in so many ways, and I can’t hold it anymore to protect people that wouldn’t protect me,” she said.
According to her, the ‘Twice As Tall’ star had messaged her on Instagram about two years ago but she had hesitated to respond until her friends persuaded her to do so.
The lady claimed the pair eventually started talking — with Burna Boy inviting her to one of his shows in the UK afterwards.
Jopearl said she thereafter fell in love with the singer after putting her earlier misgivings about dating anyone in the music industry.
“His words actually worth his action. Not only will he tell me he loves me, and other personal things, he actually showed me,” she added.
She noted that their relationship continued on a good note before Burna Boy left the UK for Nigeria in November ahead of the busy Christmas schedule.
Jopearl added that it was amid this that she became aware of the relationship between Burna Boy and Don, a discovery, she said left her devastated.
“I literally collapsed and cried for days, probably even weeks,” she said.
“I feel like the thing that hurt me the most is that from the first day I met him, he always emphasized how much he just loved black women, African women. He made me feel so good to the point; I cut my hair just recently.”
“I’m just tired of protecting you. I’ve got feelings too, seeing you in secret for two years has been detrimental to my mental state,” she added.
“It’s my choice, but you guys will never understand what it is to be in my shoes.”
