Lily Allen has claimed that a famous rapper eagerly slid into her DMs after she split from her husband, Stranger Things actor David Harbour.
The famous pair are currently separated after the Not Fair singer, 39, allegedly caught her husband of five years, 49, using the celebrity dating app Raya.
In a recent episode of her podcast, Lily confessed to listeners that she was ‘spiralling’ in the aftermath and finding it hard to concentrate beyond the ‘pain [she’s] going through’.
She continued: ‘I know I’ve been talking about it for months, but I’ve been spiralling and spiralling. It’s got out of control.’
However, speaking to the Grazia podcast Who’s Most Likely To? Lily claimed that not everyone has seen her apparent split with David as a bad thing.
‘[Men slide into my DMs] all the time,’ Lily said after she and co-host Miquita Oliver were asked who is most likely to receive unsolicited messages.
Mum-of-two Lily then said that rapper Central Cee, 26, had recently sent her a private message, asking the Smile singer, ‘Where you at?’
In response, Lily divulged that she told the Sprinter hitmaker that she was ‘in the departures lounge at Heathrow Airport’ and that he’d have better luck ‘next time’.
She then revealed that she apologised to Central Cee – whose real name is Oakley Caeser-Su – for not being able to reciprocate his flirty message.
Miquita then asked her co-host, ‘What do you think [Central Cee] was looking for? Companionship?’ to which Lily responded, ‘Punani obviously.’
It’s not known exactly when the rapper is said to have sent the message Lily’s way, but it’s likely to have been after his split from Madeline Argy.
TikTok star and influencer Madeline, 24, had been dating Central Cee for two years at the time of their separation—the rapper was then seen out in public with fellow musician Ice Spice, 25.
However, some have speculated that the sighting was a publicity stunt, with the pair having just released a brand-new single at the time.
As for Lily, she’s also recently admitted that she was ‘quite mean‘ to other people in her life before getting sober—she began her sobriety in 2020.
Lily went on to say: ‘I think I’m just a completely different person. When I was drinking and taking drugs, I could be quite mean.’
She continued: ‘I spent the best part of my twenties being publicly humiliated and vilified the whole time and sort of having to absorb all of that.
‘And I think when I drank and when I took drugs, it was like, “Now it’s your turn.” I’m going to turn it around on everyone else.’
Lily married David in 2020, and they raised a blended family together, as Lily has two daughters, Marnie, 12, and Ethel, 11, with her ex-husband Sam Cooper.
It has been denied that Lily has gone to a ‘drug rehab’ centre amid the divorce rumours.

But she has shared more positive updates after the breakup, saying earlier in January: ‘Firstly, I’m going to go and get my head straight for a bit.
‘I’m doing a little bit of work on myself in this beginning period of the year, then I’m going to do some more writing, then I’m going to do my play – hopefully, get an album out by the end of the year.’
She continued: ‘I think I’m going to try and be less of a narcissist in 2025. I need to be more empathetic. I’ve been quite wrapped up in myself and victimhood lately and I’m ready to move on.’
Central Cee’s reps have been contacted by Metro.
