MAYA Jama and ex-boyfriend Stormzy attended the same music bash last night just days after he opened up about their painful split.
Rap star Stormzy played a rare supporting role at the Rated Awards, which saw his friend and fellow artist Dave win four awards.
One of which was Video of the Year for Clash, which featured Stormzy. The pair accepted the award together and posed with the gong backstage.
Stormzy recently poured his heart out to Louis Theroux in the documentary maker’s news series Louis Theroux Meets…
The Blinded By Your Grace singer told Louis how his split from TV star Maya in 2020, amid cheating allegations, helped him grow as a man.
He said: “My break-up, that was probably the biggest catalyst for growth as a man.

“It was like, OK, you made a mistake and you lose someone you loved, someone you cared for, someone who is special to you.
“That’s probably the biggest loss a man can have, isn’t it? Away from someone passing away, that’s the biggest loss you can have.
“The whole f***ing palaver that surrounded that situation, do you know what I mean? There were other things in terms of mistakes I’d made.
“I didn’t do what a man should do to fully appreciate love, and care for his woman.”
Stormzy, 29, and Maya, 28, started dating in 2016 when neither of them were famous but split in 2020 amid allegations he had been unfaithful.
He always denied any infidelity but admits in the documentary that he’d had to learn some hard lessons about his behaviour.
Stormzy told Louis: “Long story short, I learned that if I don’t want to feel like that again, and if I believe that God will bless me again with an amazing woman and a family and marriage and all of that kind of thing, I have to do all the necessary work to never be in that situation again.”
Louis’s new series, which launches next week on BBC2, also includes interviews with other huge entertainment stars, including Oscar-winner Dame Judi Dench and singer Rita Ora.
