Stormzy puts on a brave face as he performs on stage hours after announcing Maya Jama split
STORMZY has been pictured on stage at the Gurtenfestival in Switzerland just hours after he and Maya announced their split.
The rapper put on a show for the crowd despite his recent heartbreak.
He was seen jumping with gusto while wearing all black on the main stage.
Stormzy and Maya got back together in August 2023 after five years apart, but have now broken up again in a move that shocked fans.
They recently seemed more loved up than ever and followers actually thought they secretly got engaged after they shared a series of romantic snaps from a trip to Paris.
Sadly, this turns out to have been far from the truth as the pair took to Instagram today with a statement admitting they are no longer together.
It read: “We’ve been laughing whilst drafting this because we never, ever, in a million years thought we’d be the couple announcing a breakup, but for the sake of clarity and, more importantly, to allow us the space and grace that’s needed for us both to be able to navigate this next bit of our lives with peace, we thought it might be best to.”
“We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019, and then spent five years manoeuvring life apart.
“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.
“We were 21 and 20 when we first met-both at the beginning of our careers-and spent five years growing together and then five years growing separately.
“So this final attempt required a whole lot of figuring out, relearning, and 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!).
“Love you guys and thank you for all the love you’ve showered us with, it’s been beautiful! Mike & M x”
Stormzy’s music career took off three years into the couple’s original romance.
The star even penned the song Birthday Girl to his current flame back in 2016, and Maya made an appearance in the music video.
In 2017, the rap king revealed that he had been thinking about proposing to Maya.
However, two short years later, fans were left heartbroken as the two abruptly split up after 4 years together.
