Stormzy says 'devastating' Maya Jama split made him realise he 'was a boy'

After previously remaining tight-lipped, Stormzy has opened up about his split from Maya Jama for the second time in a few weeks. The Vossi Bop rapper, who split from Bristolian Love Island presenter Maya in 2019 after four years of dating, has revealed that he made the decision to change who he was as a person after the break up, which made him realise he 'was a boy'.

The revelation comes after the former flames have been spotted at a number of the same events in the last few weeks, including the 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' premiere, the MTV Europe Music Awards, and a Kendrick Lamar concert. Whilst Maya has not divulged any details of their split three years ago, Stormzy has now shed some light on the situation.

Following their decision to part ways, rumours were in circulation that Stormzy had not been loyal to Maya - a theory he denied. However, the musician has now said he had to 'change his character' after becoming single again due to 'devastating a world that he was living in'.
