The speculations that the pair has been involved together romantically made plenty of headlines during the last couple of months. But now, people close to the actress and the rapper say they have been just hanging out as friends.
A source told People that Akala is in fact dating someone else, and his partner is also friends with Jolie.
Angelina Jolie remains private about her love life.
The source claimed that the trio “all work together” and Akala’s partner attends “every event” with them.
Other publications claim that Jolie and Akala are in fact “the real deal,” with The Sun reporting that the The Tourist star sneaked the rapper into her hotel suit while attending an event in London.
A source told The Sun, “Angelina and Akala have been secretly spending nights together at her London hotel The Corinthia.
“Angelina arrived at the hotel via the loading bay at around 8pm on Wednesday before being joined by Akala at around 10pm.
“The pair spent Wednesday and Thursday night together inside the hotel and did not leave.
“Akala was sneaked out of the hotel via one of Angelina’s cars on Friday — a couple of hours before the BFI film premiere for her new movie.
“They are using separate cars and secret entrances to keep their relationship under wraps, but it’s the real deal.”
Jolie is also said to be interested in hanging out with Akala’s sister, British rapper Ms. Dynamite.
“They were introduced through a charitable venture they were both supporting, and Angelina has been interested in learning more about his activism and loves his sister’s music,” a source said.
In September, 2024, Jolie and Akala were photographed together with the actress’ son, Pax, 20, whom she shares with ex-husband, Brad Pitt.
