Lily Allen gloats about romantic approach from famous rapper amid split from husband David Harbour
Lily Allen has revealed that British rapper Central Cee recently slid into her DMs following her split from husband David Harbour.
The 39-year-old singer shared details of the exchange during a game of Who Is Most Likely To? with Grazia alongside her Miss Me? podcast co-host Miquita Oliver.
Allen disclosed that Central Cee messaged her asking “Where you at?”, to which she responded: “I’m in the departures lounge at Heathrow Airport. Next time, sorry.”
The revelation came during a game where the podcast co-hosts were discussing which of them was more likely to receive messages from celebrities, with Oliver immediately identifying Allen as the likely recipient.
“It happens all the time,” Allen admitted.
When Oliver asked what Central Cee might have been looking for, questioning if it was “companionship,” Allen responded with a joke.
“Punani obviously,” the singer quipped during their conversation.
Some have speculated that the rapper may have had professional motives, potentially seeking to discuss music collaboration or sample clearance.
The exchange comes as Central Cee, 26, celebrates the release of his debut album “Can’t Rush Greatness” this week.
Central Cee’s message to Allen follows his highly publicised split from TikTok star Madeline Argy last year.
The rapper faced controversy when he was spotted with American artist Ice Spice shortly after his break-up with Argy, who had been his girlfriend for two years.
Argy took to social media to express her frustration, revealing that Central Cee was seen with Ice Spice mere hours after their relationship ended.
The situation intensified when the two rappers released a single together titled “Did It First,” with some speculating their public appearances were a publicity stunt.
The pair had been spotted driving around London together, fuelling dating rumours at the time.
The news comes as Allen has reportedly checked into an £8,000-a-week trauma treatment centre in the US.
The Mail on Sunday reported that Allen’s mental health deteriorated after returning to her marital home in New York, following her December split from Harbour.
