Reece James has expressed that his sister and Chelsea Women's player, Lauren James, is Burna Boy’s biggest fan.

James revealed this while featuring with his sister, Lauren, in a recent interview with media personality, Marva.

Reece James shared during the interview that the Chelsea Women's attacker is a massive lover of Afrobeats.

He said: “Lauren’s favourite artist is Burna Boy. She loves Afrobeats. I like it as well but not as much as her."

Lauren James also corroborated the statement of her brother, saying: “I listen to a lot of Afrobeats songs. I do love Afrobeats. It gets me in the mood [laughs].”

Meanwhile, Lauren's support and love for Afrobeats has been known for a while, especially after Lauren showed off her Spotify Wrapped in 2023.

Lauren James revealed that Nigerian music star Burna Boy was the artist she listened to the most on Spotify in 2023.


The 22-year-old has in the past also revealed that Burna Boy is the musician she would like to go on a date with.

Lauren has played for the biggest clubs in England, including; Arsenal, Manchester United and currently Chelsea.

The London-born forward has made 17 appearances for the Blues this campaign, scoring 12 goals and providing 2 assists in all competitions.

Lauren James is an excellent footballer with amazing qualities, and she won the PFA Women's Young Player of the Year for the 2022/23 season.

James has had a relatively successful career thus far, winning several trophies, including; 1 FA Women's Championship, 2 FA Women's Super League, and 2 Women's FA Cups.

Internationally, Lauren James has won 1 Women's Finalissima and 1 Arnold Clark Cup.

Meanwhile, Chelsea Women return to action on Friday, February 16, 2024, facing Manchester City Women, in a Matchday 14 Women's Super League encounter.

Lauren will be hoping to continue in her impressive form to galvanize her side towards success this season.

Moreover, Lauren James' brother, Reece James, is currently out of action due to a hamstring injury, which he sustained in Chelsea's 2-0 loss to Everton on December 10, 2023.

The 24-year-old is expected to return in April 2024, if his recovery process goes as expected.

Reece James has battled through injuries in recent years, with him being unable to get consistent playing time due to niggling injuries.

James has managed just 9 appearances this campaign across all competitions, scoring no goal and providing 1 assist.

Chelsea have highly felt the absence of their captain and defender, with the team stumbling on many occasions this season.

The Blues sit 10th in the Premier League this campaign, with 34 points from 24 league matches.

They have a chance at silverware this season via the Carabao Cup, having made it to the final, where they will face Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

Mauricio Pochettino's side are still in the FA Cup and this could see them end the season with something to smile about.
