It looks like a new music power couple may be brewing.
Are Stormzy And Victoria Monét Dating?
Today (October 11), The Sun shared photos of Stormzy and Victoria Monét together at London’s Heathrow Airport. The photos show the two musicians hugging and kissing each other.
The publication notes Stormzy “grinned as he gave Victoria a hug before kissing her on the lips.” They also cite “an onlooker” as saying, “Both Stormzy and Victoria looked absolutely smitten with each other. They kissed and when he hugged her he picked her up in the air.”
While neither artist has confirmed there’s a relationship here, the two at least appear to be especially comfortable with each other.
This comes shortly after both artists revealed they ended relationships. In July, Stormzy and Love Island presenter Maya Jama announced their break-up in a joint statement that reads in part:
“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 unlearning. We tried, and it didn’t work, and that’s okay.”
Then, in September, Monét and John Gaines revealed in a joint statement of their own that they ended their relationship ten months ago. Together, the two have a 3.5-year-old daughter, Hazel.
Maya Jama and Stormzy have once more confirmed their breakup, marking another (and perhaps, the final) chapter in their eventful relationship. The couple rekindled their romance a year ago after a significant split but recently shared their emotional decision to part ways. Their journey has been closely followed by fans and media alike, spanning a decade of highs and lows.

Maya Jama and Stormzy’s paths first crossed at a London event in 2014. Both were relatively unknown at the time, and their budding relationship remained largely private as they got to know each other. In 2015, they officially started dating, enjoying a quiet relationship away from the public eye.
During an interview with Shopping With Keith Lemon in 2020, Maya opened up about the early stages of their relationship. Describing it as “normal,” she explained that they didn’t have public pressure hovering over them when they first began seeing each other. “So then, it was a normal relationship. Basically, I always said it was a normal relationship but people wanted to look at it more and talk about it more,” she explained.
2016: A Musical Tribute
As the years passed and speculation grew, the two eventually shared their romance with the world. However, it was the release of Stormzy’s “Birthday Girl” that confirmed that the two were an item. The song was a tribute to his love for Maya and released in August 2016 to coincide with her 22nd birthday. “This was for the Mrs but I hope that any girl can vibe to it and play it on their birthday also and feel special,” he tweeted upon the song’s release.
The song boasted a heartfelt message to Maya such as, “Yo princess, I just come to wish you a very, very happy birthday / I hope this is an incredible one for you, I hope God blesses you this year / And I hope you’re havin’ an amazing, amazing, amazing birthday / Lots of love / Love you always.”
2017: Rising Careers & Public Love
In 2017, Stormzy released his debut album Gang Signs & Prayer with Maya making a cameo in the music video for the lead single “Big For Your Boots.” That same year, Maya became the youngest person to host the MOBO Awards, marking a significant milestone in her career.
As their careers soared, their relationship began to gain more attention from fans and the media. The two seemingly welcomed it. Stormzy often spoke about his love for Maya in interviews. He even hinted at marriage, telling The Mirror, “I’m still so young but I want to propose, it’s going to happen and I will do it right. She is so sick, she is the best.”
2019: The First Breakup
After four years together, Maya and Stormzy split in 2019 and fans were just heartbroken as they were. Maya’s representative stated, “Maya has moved out of their home in southwest London. The decision isn’t one she has come to lightly, but ultimately the relationship has come to an end. She wants to focus on her TV and radio career for now.”
Stormzy’s album Heavy Is The Head, released the same year, included the song “Lessons,” which appeared to reference their breakup. On the song, Stormzy talks about how “you taught me love,” while also suggesting that there may have been some sort of infidelity on his part.”
In a candid YouTube interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Stormzy opened up about his breakup with Maya and put to rest speculation surrounding infidelity. “I would love to be the man who she needs, I would love to do all the things that make this work. I want to marry her, I want to have her children,” he said.

By 2021, Maya had moved on and started dating Australian basketball star Ben Simmons. The couple made their public debut at Wimbledon, and by 2022, they were engaged. However, their engagement was called off later that year.

Stormzy spoke openly about his past relationship with Maya in a documentary with Louis Theroux. He described the breakup as a significant moment in his personal growth. “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,” he said.
2023: Reconciliation

Rumors of a reconciliation began swirling in 2023. By October, Maya and Stormzy confirmed they were back together, enjoying a trip to Greece. They appeared together at the British Fashion Awards the following month, signaling their renewed commitment to each other.
The couple seemed stronger than ever in early 2024. Stormzy celebrated Valentine’s Day by gifting Maya an Hermès bag and sharing a cute TikTok video of their “couples’ challenge.” Maya was also thriving in her role as the host of Love Island, with Stormzy’s support evident.
In May 2024, Maya launched her collaboration with Beauty Works, with Stormzy by her side at the launch party. Their mutual support was clear, and fans were delighted to see them together. At this point, it seemed like everything was well between the couple.
June 2024: A Fun Night Out

In the public eye, the two continued to show out. Though Maya’s undoubtedly had a busy year so far, she and Stormzy were spotted together at a new London venue that he launched called House Party. Videos and pictures emerged of the couple dancing and laughing together as they celebrated such a significant milestone in Stormzy’s career.
July 2024: The Final Breakup

Sadly, on July 17, 2024, Maya Jama and Stormzy announced their second breakup. Unfortunately, it sounds like the final straw, too. In the statement, the two acknowledged that they never thought the would have to announce a break-up but for the sake of transparency and peace in their lives as they move in a new direction.
“We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019, and then spent five years maneuvering 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 unlearning. We tried, and it didn’t work, and that’s okay,” the letter reads.
It continues, “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!).”
Stormzy, the renowned U.K. grime artist, continues to leave his mark, this time in the world of soccer with his latest collaboration with Adidas. Recently, Stormzy unveiled his limited-edition boot, a special version of the iconic Adidas Predator boot. The striking black and yellow design prominently features the Merky FC logo, adding a touch of his signature style to the footwear. In a trailer released on Monday morning, Stormzy paid homage to South London’s soccer heroes while introducing the new Adidas Merky FC boot. Describing the boot as “bright, powerful, clinical,” Stormzy emphasized its potential to become an icon in the world of sports.
Scheduled for release on May 14, the Merky FC Predator boot arrives shortly after the launch of the Merky FC HQ, a multi-purpose center in Croydon, South London. This facility, located near Stormzy’s childhood home, offers opportunities for individuals across football, music, and gaming. In addition to his collaboration with Adidas and the opening of the Merky FC HQ, Stormzy celebrated another sporting milestone. AFC Croydon Athletic, his hometown soccer team, achieved promotion following a playoff victory. This success comes less than a year after Stormzy took ownership of the club.
Expressing his pride in the team’s achievements, Stormzy took to Instagram to share the news with his followers. “Seemed like a fairytale but here we are!” he wrote in the caption, reflecting on the remarkable journey of AFC Croydon Athletic under his leadership. The boots feature a dark grey and volt green color scheme, with Merky FC and Predator branding.
Adidas has revealed that the Merky FC Predator Soccer Boot will be released tomorrow, May 14th. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be announced when they drop. Further, make sure to let us know what you think about these kicks in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the most recent updates and news from the sneaker community.

Headie One and Stormzy, two UK veteran rappers are some of the more prominent voices in the drill scene across the pond. In fact, they have a combined 17 years plus of experience and their undeniable chemistry shows up whenever they collaborate. Pretty soon, Headie One will be dropping his new project The Last One, so to hype it up, he just put out a new single “Cry No More.”
According to Genius, the prolific veteran will have it out by June 14. So far there have been two singles released ahead of it. One of them is of course “Cry No More,” and the other is “Martin’s Sofa.” That one is a bit peculiar, since it came out back in January of 2023. In terms of collaborations between Headie and Stormzy, this is now their third ever song.

Also in the fold for this track are high-end producers Tay Keith and Pooh Beatz. Both have crafted up some of the biggest trap bangers here in the states. But they are dabbling in UK drill in this case and it goes over well. Headie One spoke with Complex why he was so happy to work with both of them and why this is one of his favorites from The Last One. “This is one of my favorites from the album. I loved the sample and 808s straight away when Tay and Pooh played it in the studio. Stormzy went crazy on it, too.”

Take a look at these diamonds wrong, then the mandem gon’ turn you sprinter I do the Uno reverse, might ski all summer, do beach in winter I just laugh when they say that I can’t go higher, I’m a frequent flyer My last album’s cold, but my new one’s fire, I might call it Maya I got back pain and I got neck pain ‘cah I got the weight of the game on my shoulder Kept sayin’ that it weren’t no fluke, I was young like Luke, now I gotta be Yoda
It’s been an eventful few days for Love Island host Maya Jama and her superstar boyfriend Stormzy. The pair are reportedly in Los Angeles for work commitments together which is where The Daily Mail reported that they had a fight in an alleyway. The story included details of the reported confrontation and came with pictures. The photos depict Stormzy seemingly raising his voice and waving his hands around while Maya looks unimpressed.
Maya didn’t let the rumors swirl around for long before posting a response that implied everyone was taking things a bit too seriously. On her Instagram story, she shared one pic of her looking particularly frustrated accompanied by the caption “also” with a series of crying laughing emojis. She also shared a screenshot of a DM exchange that further made light of her hilarious-looking attitude in the picture. But that wasn’t the only way she deflected attention away from the argument. Check out what else she posted below.
After time apart, Stormzy and Maya Jama began rekindling their relationship back in August. That started with a vacation to Greece they took together where fans couldn’t help but start speculating on their status. They went Instagram official last month when Maya shared a video of Stormzy picking her up from the airport to social media. The couple’s rekindling has once again cast them into the public light whenever they’re seen together.
For his part, Stormzy has stayed busy this year releasing new music. His most notable new single was a collaboration with RAYE called “The Weekend.“ The song dropped back in July and has already racked up more than 21 million streams on Spotify. It’s the 4th new single he’s released this year and the biggest in terms of streaming numbers. It sits just a few million ahead of his Fredo collaboration “Toxic Trait.” What do you think of Maya Jama’s Storm Halloween costume? Let us know in the comment section below.
Stormzy, a name that resonates with fans of UK rap and grime, has made significant waves in the music industry. As of 2023, his net worth stands at an impressive $25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. But how did this British rapper from Croydon, London, amass such wealth? Let’s delve into his journey.
Born on July 25, 1993, in Croydon, London, England, Stormzy’s passion for music was evident from a young age. His unique blend of grime beats and freestyle raps set him apart from other artists in the UK rap scene.
Chart-Topping Albums & Singles

Stormzy’s debut studio album, Gang Signs & Prayer, released in 2017, was a testament to his talent. It not only reached the #1 spot in the UK but also in Ireland, showcasing international appeal. Following this success, he dropped Heavy Is The Head in 2019. This album too dominated the charts, reaching #1 in the UK, #3 in Ireland, and even making its mark in Denmark at #6.
His singles have also garnered significant attention. “Vossi Bop” became an instant hit, securing the #1 position in the UK and #4 in Ireland. Another notable track, “Own It,” which featured global sensations Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy, also climbed to the top, reaching #1 in the UK and #8 in Ireland. Furthermore, Stormzy’s collaborations, such as “Bridge Over Trouble Water” by Artists for Grenfell and “Take Me Back to London” with Ed Sheeran, further solidified his position in the music industry.

While music remains his primary source of income, Stormzy has diversified his portfolio. From brand endorsements to investments in startups, he has showcased his business acumen. He launched a scholarship fund, purchased the non-league football club, AFC Croydon Athletic, and collaborated with Esports Guild, alongside Adidas, who he works with frequently.
The Impact Of Stormzy’s Success

Stormzy’s success goes beyond monetary value. He has become an icon for many aspiring artists in the UK and around the world. His journey from Croydon to international stardom serves as an inspiration for many. Moreover, his influence extends to social and political spheres, where he has been vocal about issues close to his heart.
Stormzy’s $25 million net worth in 2023 is a testament to his talent, hard work, and strategic decisions. From chart-topping albums to successful collaborations and wise investments, he has built an empire that continues to grow. As he continues to produce music and explore new ventures, there’s no doubt that Stormzy’s influence and net worth will only increase in the coming years.
In the ever-evolving world of music, new talents emerge every day, and Deno Driz is one such name that has been creating waves. As of 2023, Deno Driz’s net worth is estimated to be around $800,000 US Dollars, according to Idol Net Worth. But how did this young rapper climb the ladder of success and amass such wealth? Let’s delve deeper.
Born on September 23, 2002, in London, England, Deno Driz began his journey in music at a young age. His cover version of the song “Over and Under” first gained significant attention in 2016. This cover, which he uploaded to his Instagram account, unexpectedly catapulted him to fame. The immense appreciation and love he received for this cover were beyond his wildest dreams.
Connections In The Industry
Deno’s talent didn’t go unnoticed by industry heavyweights. He has been fortunate to have connections with renowned artists like Chris Brown, who has been known to offer him valuable advice. One such piece of wisdom from Brown was the importance of perseverance and ensuring the audience’s happiness. Moreover, Deno’s creativity caught the eye of the prominent rapper Stormzy. This association led to Deno visiting Stormzy’s studio, witnessing the rapper’s work process firsthand.
Family & Personal Life
Behind the scenes, Deno is also deeply rooted in his family values. He holds his mother in high regard and credits her for managing his tight schedule and ensuring he reaches his destinations on time. As he navigates the complexities of the music industry, the opinions of his family, especially his mother, remain paramount. Additionally, he values the professional insights of artists like Ed Sheeran and Stormzy, considering them not just as idols but also as internet friends.
While Deno’s net worth is a testament to his success, it’s not just about the money. It’s about the lifestyle and assets that come with it. Although specific details about his possessions remain under wraps, it’s known from his Instagram posts that he owns a BMW. This hints at a luxurious lifestyle that complements his rising fame in the music world.
Further, with a net worth nearing a million dollars at such a young age, the future looks promising for Deno Driz. His dedication to his craft and guidance from industry stalwarts positions him for even greater success in the coming years. As he continues to release new songs and collaborate with other artists, his net worth is only expected to soar.
Deno Driz’s journey in the music industry is also a testament to his talent, dedication, and the right connections. With an estimated net worth of $800,000 in 2023, he inspires many young artists aiming to make their mark. Overall, as he continues to evolve as an artist, the world eagerly awaits his next move.
If you haven’t had any luck securing a solid prospect for cuffing season just yet, Stormzy and Maya Jama are here with a reminder that texting your ex may just be worth it. Since they parted ways, both the rapper and entertainer have done tremendous work on their mental health. This is allowing them to reconcile in a way that’s seemingly brought them closer than ever before. The duo has been keeping their love under wraps since they were on vacation in Greece back in the summer. As AllHipHop reports, they’re now Instagram official.
When leaving the airport, its not uncommon for celebrities to have luxury rides waiting to pick them up. Rather than a fancy black limo when returning from her latest trip, Jama had Stormzy and his handmade signs waiting for her in his yellow ride. The moment was so sweet that she couldn’t help but document it for fans of the couple to see, hopefully encouraging others to express affection for their partners in similar adorable ways.
“You are so cute,” the model laughs from behind the camera while walking closer to the “Vossi Bop” hitmaker. In one hand, Stormzy holds a stunning campaign shot of Jama rocking a bold red dress. “Maya Jama’s #1 Fan,” the sign in his other hand reads. Sources have said that the UK native sees his current partner as “the one.” Because of this, it’s not shocking to see him going above and beyond to prove his love for her and lock things in once and for all.
Based on last month’s reports that Stormzy is hoping to step into fatherhood soon, it’s obvious that he’s grown and matured a lot since his first romance with Maya Jama. Read what steps the pair is allegedly taking to prepare for a more serious relationship, and perhaps even parenthood, at the link below. For more hip-hop/pop culture news updates, check back in with HNHH later.
Maya Jama and Stormzy were much younger during their first attempt at a relationship, and though they had plenty of fun, the pair ultimately decided to call it quits in 2019. Upon reflecting on the split late last year, the British rapper admitted that he was in a far more childish mindset at the time, but he’s since gone through tremendous growth to help shape him into a man who’s apparently ready to settle down. The one-year anniversary of Stormzy’s This Is What I Mean LP is quickly approaching, and with any luck, he’ll have Jama by his side to celebrate.
Social media sleuths began speculating that the former lovers had reconciled in late August. At the time, both the socialite and her ex were sharing content from a beautiful villa in Greece, though neither was quite ready to hard launch the other during their baecation. Eventually, paparazzi caught photos of them wandering through the islands hand in hand, unofficially confirming that their romance is back on.

Since then, the Mirror has learned that they’re even planning to head to couple’s therapy to ensure that things have a better chance of working in their favour this time around. “Stormzy and Maya have never stopped loving each other and want to do all they can to protect their second shot at lifelong happiness. Stormzy has already told friends he’s ready to have kids as early as next year,” an insider dished to the outlet.
Earlier this month, sources revealed that Stormzy has plans to pop the question to Maya Jama in the future – likely why therapy is so high on their list of priorities. Seeing as the Love Island host was engaged to Ben Simmons not so long ago, she already knows all too well the excitement that comes with being a fiancee, and we can’t imagine why she’d say no. Read more about the wedding bell rumours at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.
We’ve seen a surprising number of divorce announcements make their way through the news cycle this summer. However, that doesn’t mean modern romance is dead. For every pair that’s splitting up, a new one seems to be falling in love (or reconnecting after taking time apart). The latest couple to land in the latter category is Maya Jama and Stormzy. They were photographed holding hands in Greece last month after the rapper took his ex to the beautiful country in celebration of her birthday.
Neither the Love Island host nor her man have confirmed their reconciliation on social media yet. Still, internet sleuths noticed similarities in the individual content they’ve posted to TikTok and Instagram from their baecation. In the paparazzi snaps of Jama and Stormzy, they both look happily in love. According to insiders who spoke with The Sun, the UK-born lyricist plans to ask the 29-year-old for her hand in marriage in the near future.
Could Wedding Bells Be in Maya Jama and Stormzy’s Future?

“Stormzy knows how lucky he is to have gotten back, and he’s determined not to lose her again,” one person told the outlet. “He wants to make her his wifey for lifey. He’s telling his mates this is it for him now, he’s found the one,” they added. Of course, this won’t be Jama’s first engagement ring if the rumours are true. She and NBA star Ben Simmons were previously planning a wedding, but ultimately called it off last year.
Even with the growing number of dating apps that exist, running back to an ex seems to be a very viable option for many people lately. Now that we’ve seen Nelly and Ashanti, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, and Maya Jama and Stormzy spin the block, are there any other celebrity couples you hope to see reconcile? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
– I hope everyone had a lovely valentines day !
