Stormzy and Maya Jama split after four years together

“The decision isn’t one she has come to lightly.”

Stormzy and Maya Jama have split up, according to reports.

The rapper and presenter were together for four years before calling quits on their relationship earlier this week.

The Sun reports that Jama initiated the split because she wants to focus on her career.

“Maya has moved out of their home in South West London,” a source told the publication.

“The decision isn’t one she has come to lightly, but ultimately the relationship has come to an end. She wants to focus on her TV and radio career for now.”

Stormzy and Jama met at the Red Bull Culture Clash in late 2014, and began dating the following January.

The BBC Radio presenter said previously that she had been interested in the grime rap artist from the very beginning.

“You know, if I’m really honest, I knew I fancied him from the start,” she said.

“But I didn’t want anything yet, because, you know, you’re trying to do the whole friend situation first, and then I’d do obvious hints that I fancied him and then take it back because I didn’t know if he definitely liked me.

“It was a childish phase. And then one day we just kissed, and that was that.”

Stormzy was present at Jama’s 25th birthday party in London last Sunday, however it is reported that the presenter has ended things since then.

Rumours began circulating that the pair had split for the first time last year when they both unfollowed each other on social media.

Stormzy and Jama have yet to comment on the split.
