STORMZY poured his heart out over his split from Maya Jama on his song Lessons last year – but it didn’t bother her.
The glamorous telly presenter has made peace with her ex-boyfriend rapping about their four-year romance, insisting it has to be expected if you date a musician.
Maya, who broke up with the grime MC last August, said: “I feel that going out with an artist, you kind of sign an invisible contract where it’s like, ‘This is this, it’s everybody’s business’.”
The song, which featured on his second No1 album Heavy Is The Head in December, named Maya in the lyrics.
He rapped: “Fast forward now, my nephew’s still asking for his Auntie Maya, guess this is the karma for what I done to Maya.
“I just stood and let it burn, I couldn’t down the fire. Lord, I pray you make it easy, that’s my one desire.”
But she seems well over Stormzy now and has seen her career go from strength to strength in the past year, including a hosting role on BBC1’s Saturday night show Peter Crouch: Save Our Summer.
Maya made her comment during an online Q&A with US singer Madison Beer, who slates her ex-boyfriend, believed to be club promoter Zack Bia, in her song Selfish.
Madison explained: “I played it for him before it came out and I was like, ‘Yeah, sorry’.
“I also have this boundaries rule where I’m like, ‘You don’t get to tell me what to put out and what not to put out. If you hurt me and I channel that hurt into music, something that I love and something which actually makes me happy, then sorry, bro’.”
Now Madison, who last month released new single Baby, is eyeing up a move to the UK.
She added: “I would move to London in a heartbeat. I always say I’d love to have kids with a British accent. I’d love to raise kids in London.”
Becks’ exes are white hot
WHAT I would give to have been a fly on the wall when Brooklyn Beckham’s former flames Lottie Moss and Hana Cross went on a night out.
The stunning pair even wore matching outfits to London nightclub Cirque Le Soir on Monday.
Hana dated Posh and Becks’ son on and off for nine months until last summer.
Lottie, in the same modelling agency as Hana, had a fling with Brooklyn shortly before Hana’s relationship started.
Now he is set to tie the knot with actress Nicola Peltz, who he proposed to in July.
I’m sure Lottie and Hana had plenty to discuss.

KATIE Holmes was spotted kissing her rumoured new man, chef Emilio Vitolo, in New York on Monday.
The actor, once married to Tom Cruise, ended a six-year relationship with film star Jamie Foxx last summer.
Gemma gets claus out
GEMMA Collins became a meme for shouting, “I’m claustrophobic, Darren,” in Celebrity Big Brother – and small spaces are clearly a problem for her.
She is so terrified of being enclosed, she refuses to get in lifts.
She said: “I have some fears and one of them is getting into a lift.
“I will not get into any lift that is enclosed. Unless it’s a glass lift you’re not going to get me in it.
“There have been occasions where I’ve turned up for meetings and there is an enclosed lift and I’ve had to ask the people to come down and have the meeting in reception. I don’t know where this comes from, I need to do a past-life regression.”
On the Gemma Collins Podcast, out today on BBC Sounds, she adds: “It’s fight or flight,our bodies can go into survival mode.
“There have been instances, which is gonna sound weird, where I’ve actually left my own body.
“If you’re in a situation where you know some- thing’s not right, your body has this amazing way of kind of . . . you literally can jump out of your own body.”
Forget lifts in buildings, it was those dodgy lifts on Dancing On Ice she ought to have been scared of.
Dave’s a rapper in a million
DAVE has all of the awards on his shelves to prove he’s made it as a big star – along with the bank balance to boot.
New financial documents for the south London rapper’s company Dimaio show he earned a staggering £2.7million last year, with a tidy profit of £1.2million.
On top of that, he made a profit of £135,231 from touring.
Not bad for a 22-year-old who’s only released one album.
The rapidly rising star also has jewellery and property businesses, which will no doubt be raking in even more cash for him.
There’s also his fledgling acting career, which will be earning him a pretty penny, having starred in the third series of Netflix’s Top Boy last year.
The Funky Friday rapper has had an incredible couple of years, scooping the Mercury Prize for his debut album Psychodrama last year, then winning the Album of the Year gong at the Brit Awards in February for the same record.
More recently, he’s been living it up on holidays in the south of France and Dubai with celebrity pals – clearly making the most of his newfound riches.
Don’t spend it all at once, Dave.
Wang's eye life
RAPPER Jackson Wang’s mates took the mickey out of him when he boasted that he had gone to the London Eye during a trip to the UK.
The K-pop star said: “I was like, ‘I’ve seen the whole of London’. And then they said, ‘We don’t really go there. Only tourists go there’. But I don’t know if it’s true.”
Jackson currently has out his song Pretty Please, with Swedish dance act Galantis.
Christian Karlsson, one half of the duo, said: “It’s a really fun, creative tune.”
That should give Jackson another chance to visit Europe.
Zac’s new Nessa
A DECADE on from his split from his High School Musical castmate Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efrom is dating another Vanessa.
He and his girlfriend Vanessa Valladares were seen heading out to get lunch in Australia’s Byron Bay after news of their romance broke.

The pair met in July when Vanessa was working as a waitress and she is now said to have quit her job.
Zac spent all lockdown in Australia and recently went on a skiing holiday there with Vanessa.
Hopefully it’s not all downhill from there.
