At the time, they had a shared home but being away meant she could escape it all.'Throwing herself into work was the perfect distraction.’ Neither Ms Jama nor Kenny has suggested that their relationship extends beyond friendshipMs Jama previously dated rapper Stormzy, 33, for four years before they separated in 2019. The couple rekindled their romance in 2023 but announced the following year that they had parted again.Kenny, whose real name is Kenny Oghenovo Ojuederie, has said little publicly about his dating history.But he has been rather less discreet about his partnership with Ms Jama inside the castle.In a new single released on Friday, entitled Don’t Let Me Down, he sings: ‘Murdering in plain sight, it’s me and you they’re calling.’Whether the words were aimed at one Traitor in particular, he has left viewers to decide.
