Angelina Jolie ‘Not Chilling’ After Linking Up With Rapper Akala

There is nothing romantic going on Angelina Jolie and a British rapper Akala — with a partner — Us Weekly can confirm.

Despite a recent report that the Oscar winner and singer (full name: Kingslee James McLean Daley) are spending quality time together in London, a source close to Jolie said they are just friends.

“Angelina is Akala’s girlfriend’s best friend [Chanelle Newman]who also attends all events,” the source shared exclusively Us on Tuesday, October 22. “They all work together. Angelina is still focused on her family and is not dating at the moment. “

Jolie, 49, was recently in the UK for the premiere of her new film at the London Film Festival Maria. In the flick, the actor portrays a famous opera singer of the 20th century Maria Callas.

Angie’s Lovers! Angelina Jolie has only been in five significant relationships, but her love life has been in the spotlight ever since she began her film career in the 1990s. The Oscar winner found her first boyfriend in the late 1980s when she was 14. Although he did not reveal his identity publicly, their relationship. […]

The source said Us that Jolie’s latest trip has been filled with media and attention every night.

One night, Studio Canal – the film’s distributors – held a dinner at Soho House with the cast, crew and company executives. Soon after, Studio Canal hosted a cocktail reception at the Corinthia Hotel, where the media junket took place for two days.

“It means everything,” Jolie said More regarding the support of his children. Before you get out of these things, you are nervous.

Maria is set to hit select theaters on November 27 and is available to stream on Netflix on December 11.
