Stormzy and ex Maya Jama 'texting again' as they make peace after split

Remorseful rapper Stormzy and his former girlfriend Maya Jama appear to be on texting terms again.

The star dedicated his emotional new track Lessons to issue a public apology to his ex as he confesses his "biggest regret."

The 26-year-old said the "phenomenal woman" gave him everything but he admitted to disrespecting her. He has now publicly apologised for causing their break-up after she had enough.

The couple, who were together for four years, called it quits back in August this year as reports claimed the duo wanted to focus on their individual careers.

Now it appears he is winning the battle for a reconciliation.

A source told The Sun : "He knew that he would bring their relationship centre stage again by releasing a track about it, and he felt it was right to reach out.

"Now they are getting on well again, and their close friends are hoping they might give their relationship another chance.

"It is crystal clear how much Stormzy regrets how he treated Maya and he knows he doesn’t deserve a second chance."

So there could be a happy ending after all.

Stormzy explained how he wanted to address the break-up as his album is a "super reflection of who I am as a person" and believed it wouldn't be seen as 'real' if he didn't discuss "every trial and tribulation."

Admitting that it was 'scary' to see the response to the emotional track, the rapper said he understood that "it is not my truth alone" and knew he was bringing their romance woes back to the headlines.

"It was a hot topic and I'm going on the record now and I'm apologising and I'm trying to lay it all bare. I'm trying to be very truthful and very clear in my truth. I'm not trying to shy away from it."

Accepting his mistakes in the past, Stormzy insisted his actions towards ex Maya were a "public disrespect" and because of that, "needed a public apology."
