Angelina Jolie has seemingly confirmed her relationship with British political activist and rapper Akala, fueling speculation after multiple public appearances together.

The caption under the images read, “Atelier Jolie welcomed Mustafa at 57 Great Jones, hosting a special listening party and panel discussion for his debut album, Dunya, out now.”
It continued to praise the album, inviting followers to listen to the 12-song collection, where “folk meets poetry.” This isn’t the first time Akala has been seen with Jolie.

An eyewitness at the event claimed that Akala was “very protective” of Jolie and her children, sparking initial dating rumors.

The project aims to connect creative individuals with a talented and diverse team of expert tailors to foster collaboration and innovation in the fashion world. As Jolie continues to navigate her evolving personal and professional life, her connection with Akala has certainly piqued public interest, leaving fans curious about what’s next for the duo.
