“No, nothing’s happening there,” Raye said, dismissing persistent rumors that she is dating actor Michael B. Jordan.
The 29-year-old singer addressed the speculation head-on following an August outing at Six Flags Magic Mountain that ignited a frenzy of fan theories online.
The pair were photographed together at the California theme park, leading many to assume a romance was budding. Raye, however, insists the excursion was entirely platonic, born out of a professional collaboration rather than a romantic connection.
“We’ve been doing some work together for a really cool project,” Raye said to British GQ.
The singer detailed their day at the park, noting that the two bonded over a mutual enthusiasm for high-speed attractions.
“I was like: ‘First we’re gonna go on Tatsu. Then we’re gonna do Twisted Colossus.’ I was literally having the best time,” Raye said to RTÉ.
This is not the first time the singer has attempted to cool the gossip. When questioned at the MTV Video Music Awards in September, she told Entertainment Tonight that she and the Sinners star were “just friends who like rollercoasters.” Jordan, 39, has declined to comment on the speculation.
While the singer has confirmed they are collaborating, she has remained tight-lipped regarding specific details. According to Huffingtonpost.co.uk, Raye hinted at signing a non-disclosure agreement, though she did clarify that she is not acting alongside Jordan in the project.
“I don’t know why this door has opened, but sometimes when it rains, it pours,” Raye said to British GQ.
