British rapper Stormzy and long term girlfriend, love island presenter Maya Jama took to Instagram with a joint statement to announce their break up. According to them, they have been trying to work on their relationship since when they got back together last year. “We tried, and it didn't work, and that's okay,and they said. We've been laughing whilst drafting this because we never, ever, in a million years thought we'd be the couple announcing a breakup,” they stated, at the beginning of the post.
In the joint statement, the two claimed that they were announcing their breakup publicly for the sake of clarity and for their fans to give them space and grace so that they can navigate the next stage of their lives in peace. We decided to try for the final time in August 2023, and we've spent this past year trying our best to make it work; however, we recently decided to call it quits.” The two met in 2014 and broke up in 2019, then stayed 5 years apart maneuvering life apart.
According to Jama, they spent five years growing together and then five years growing separately. This is because when the two met, they were at the beginning of their careers. We still think the absolute world of each other, we still care and respect each other, we are still grateful for the time we've had together, and we are still friends and will always be friends (so if you see us having a lil catch-up at The Brits or something, don't cause a fuss, we are dawgs!),” Jama said, I an attempt to show that their relationship did not end on a bad note.
“Announcing this feels so dramatic, but we're doing it so that it kind of takes away the drama and avoids speculation and rumours,” the statement read. “Love you guys and thank you for all the love you've showered us with, it's been beautiful! Mike & MJ x.” The cause of their breakup is still unclear.
