Jesy Nelson 'unfollows' on-off boyfriend and they're 'no longer on speaking terms'

Jesy Nelson has unfollowed her on-off boyfriend Harry James on social media, it has been reported.

The 30-year-old, who's currently sunning it up across the pond in California, is getting ready to relaunch her career in summer.

However, along with her relaunch, Jesy has reportedly revamped the team around her - which includes ditching her on-off beau.

Harry is credited as the editor of Jesy's controversial music video Boyz and, while it gave her a top five hit, was slammed with blackfishing accusations.

According to The Sun, the pair have since unfollowed one another.

A source told the publication: "It may seem savage but it’s business. The bottom line is that video almost derailed her ­chances of a solo career."

They added that changes "had to be made" and, due to their history, it was decided that they needed to part ways.

The Mirror has contacted Jesy's reps for comment.

The pair first dated for a year in 2017 before rekindling their romance last year in August during a trip to Antigua.

It comes after Jesy hit back at blackfishing claims last October as she said she was "aware she is a white British woman".

She came under fire following the release of her music video after fans accused her of blackfishing - a term that refers to someone who is pretending to be black or mixed-race.

Her debut single Boyz starred Jesy alongside rapper Nikki Minaj and P Diddy, but fans were not impressed to see the former Little Mix star sporting a deep tan and braided hair in the footage.

However, Jesy hit back at claims of cultural appropriation, pointing out that the term blackfishing had never been directed towards her before she left Little Mix.

The Essex-born singer told Vulture in an interview: "I'm very aware that I'm a white British woman; I've never said that I wasn't.

"But I mean, like, I love Black culture. I love Black music. That's all I know; it's what I grew up on."
