She wants to focus on her TV and radio career for now.” The decision isn't one she has come to lightly, but ultimately the relationship has come to an end. However to put these rumours to bed, Maya's representative released a statement at the time that read: “Maya has moved out of their home in south west London. These fans were heartbroken to learn of their break up and immediately rumours began swirling as to why. In 2016, Stormzy released the track ‘Birthday Girl’ for Maya’s 22nd birthday.īy 2019, Stormzy and Maya had established themselves in their careers and garnered many fans from across the world. The lyrics to the song include,'She was standin’ in her dress, And she was lookin’ like an angel, Her eyes took away my breath.'īut the most incriminating of all is from the song ‘Hide and Seek’ from the same album where Stormzy sings, 'I've tried and I've tried, but I just can't hide from you, love.' In 2022, three whole years after their break up, Stormzy was still releasing music that may not have directly referenced Maya, but supposedly was inspired by her.įor example, from his album ‘This Is What I Mean’, the song ‘Firebabe’ which is about the power of that first initial spark when you meet someone you like.

The lyrics to the song include lines such as “You taught me love, oh, what a gift… I know that it's hard, too hard to forgive.” In 2019, after their break up, Stormzy released his Album ‘Heavy Is The Head’, which supposedly included references to his break up with Maya in the track ‘Lessons.’ In 2017, Stormzy’s debut album 'Gang Signs & Prayer' was released and Maya starred in the music video for 'Big For Your Boots', which ended up as the lead single from the record.

Plus the British media isn’t that kind to non white people, racial ambiguity aside, so I can’t see them throwing opportunities her way just for the sake of it.According to Maya, she tried to keep it cool how she felt about Stormzy at the beginning. No unique selling point other than looks, and there’s a newer younger prettier girl getting off the bus outside BBC studios every day. She’s not a music head, or an expert on anything. But unfortunately she has no actual presenting skills or charm, so I honestly can’t see her having career longevity. As noted in a previous comment she’s ageing out of the ‘goofy cool girl’ brand that she’s coasted on so far. She’s still a beautiful woman and will likely remain so the rest of her life, but the entertainment industry is cruel.

She’s a perfect representation of the media industry nowadays, all about hype and appearances but very little actual substance or skill.Īs awful and Victorian as this sounds, she’d do good to marry well and soon. But truthfully it’s her looks ahead of all else. Her looks, racial ambiguity and willingness to be goofy and ‘real’ is what endeared people to her. Couldn’t agree more with everyone’s assessment of Maya on here.
