Angelina Jolie has been spending some cozy nights with her rumored boyfriend, British rapper and political activist Akala, it has been claimed.
On Monday it was alleged that the Oscar-winning beauty, 49, had the artists, 40, stay at her London hotel, The Corinthia, for two nights in a row, according to The Sun.
Akala arrived just after the Hollywood icon and did not leave until two days later, it was suggested. They also had an intimate dinner at SoHo House, it was claimed, before he was snuck out the back by Jolie’s handlers.
This comes as he was seen at the London premiere of her opera singer movie Maria, which is earning raves.
Though sources have told People the two are not dating, the two have been spending a lot of time together. Akala has shown up her Atelier Jolie parties and he also has followed her around the world as she promotes Maria – he has been at the New York City and Venice, Italy events.

They went Instagram official in a post for her company Atelier Jolie in early October.
Akala can be seen clearly in a photo at the event just before images of the Oscar-winning actress appeared in the same photo gallery.
The Eternals actress was interviewing Mustafa at the Atelier Jolie showroom on Great Jones Street.
The ex-wife of Brad Pitt wore a gray suit and black boots with her highlighted hair down as she was seated. Akala wore a black crew neck T-shirt while in the audience.
This comes two days after Akala joined Jolie at the 62nd New York Film Festival premiere of her film Maria at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.
In the caption it said, ‘Atelier Jolie welcomed Mustafa at 57 Great Jones, hosting a special listening party and panel discussion for his debut album, Dunya, out now.
‘Join us in celebrating this stunning 12-song collection, where folk meets poetry. The album is available to stream now on all platforms.’
Also at the event was Zoe Kravitz, who was in the Instagram post too.

Jolie has been seen in public several times with Akala amid her continued bitter split from Pitt, even though sources have told People that they are just friends.
The actress sparked romance rumors with Akala when the pair were seen emerging from her hotel in Italy during Venice International Film Festival in August.
It had been claimed by In Touch that the actress had been privately seeing the musician for ‘more than a year’.

The rumors first began when Akala joined Jolie and her daughters Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 18, at the Calabash Literary Festival in Jamaica in May of last year.
An eyewitness shared at the time that Akala was ‘very protective of them as he shepherded them around.’
They enjoyed dinner together in Milan six months later, In Touch also claimed.
In addition to Zahara and Shiloh, Jolie and her ex-husband Pitt share sons Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and 15-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
However, an insider told People that Jolie ‘is friends with him and his partner, Chanelle [Newman] who was also there’.
Newman is his business partner and manager.
Yet Jolie and Akala do share a strong bond, with a second source stating: ‘They share the same passion when it comes to social and humanitarian causes.
‘They did several collabs over the years that focus on global issues like human rights. Angie speaks very highly of him.’
People’s source claimed Jolie is ‘currently single and not dating seriously’.
MailOnline has contacted Jolie’s representatives for comment.

Akala – born Kingslee James McLean Daley – started out as a rapper before moving into political activism, endorsing former Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 UK general election.
His older sister is also the famous singer and rapper Ms. Dynamite.
Ms. Dynamite, 43 – real name Niomi Arleen McLean-Daley – enjoyed a string of hits in the early 2000s with her debut album A Little Deeper, which won the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.
Akala is reportedly in a relationship with Chanelle Newman who is co-founder and executive producer of Akala’s music and the Hip-hop Shakespeare Company.
In Touch also claimed that the Maleficent star has been seeing another man as well, Broadway composer Justin Levine.
Jolie and Levine were seen together on Monday at the A New York Evening With The Outsiders at The Greene Space on in New York City.
‘Angelina has been seeing two different men over the past year or so,’ a source claimed to the outlet.
Tony-award winner Levine was a part of the Broadway production of The Outsiders, the musical Jolie produced.
In Touch reports he co-wrote the book and score for the play. Jolie’s daughter Vivienne also worked as a producer’s assistant on the program.
‘Angie just adores Justin, and they’ve been spending so much time together that a lot of people think the relationship could turn romantic,’ the source said.
An insider also shared with the site that the men are ‘totally different’ but Jolie is ‘falling for both of them.’
The new romance rumors comes five years after Jolie was declared legally single from Pitt.
Jolie has hinted at the heavy emotional toll which her divorce from Brad Pitt has taken on her, saying she has been through ‘despair’ and ‘pain’ (pictured in 2015)
Akala and Justin are not the first two men Jolie has been linked to since her divorce. Several years ago, she was seen out with musician The Weekend.
Jolie and Pitt’s split has played out publicly and has also affected their six children. Earlier this month their daughter Shiloh, 18, legally dropped her father’s surname.
Shiloh, who hired and paid for her own lawyer when she filed to drop the Pitt name on her 18th birthday in May, filed to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.
There have been long custody battles which ended eventually in a victory for Pitt, who got 50-50 custody in 2021 only to have it overturned on appeal.
The current situation has seen the children form a tight group of seven with his former wife.
Meanwhile, Brad is dating Ines de Ramon for two years.
DailyMail.com exclusively learned that de Ramon has ‘banned’ her friends, family and even work contacts from talking about her and Pitt’s relationship and even made then sign nondisclosure agreements to ‘build trust.’
She is hoping to create a very strong bond with Pitt which may lead to marriage, it was claimed.
