Uk-based Ghanaian Rapper, Stormzy and his wife have announced that they have gone their separate ways after they tried to remarry for the second time.
A statement from them said that after they tried to patch things up, they realized they could not stay married.
Regardless of the breakup, they continue to be friends and may be seen hanging out and catching up sometimes.
“We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019, and then spent five years manoeuvring life apart,” the statement continues. “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!),” the statement said.
Maya and Stormzy admitted that whilst the joint statement felt “dramatic,” they both decided to publicly announce their split to avoid “speculation and rumours.”
“We’re kindly asking for the grace to let both of us keep it moving and not be bothered about it (we highly doubt this’ll work, but we’re still kindly asking anyway),” they write, concluding: “Love you guys and thank you for all the love you’ve showered us with, it’s been beautiful!”
