Stormzy writing 'empowering new album' as ex's popularity soars on Love Island
Stormzy is reportedly working on a brand new album less than two months after his last was unleashed - and as his ex-girlfriend Maya Jama reaches new heights as host of Love Island.
The 29-year-old rap sensation released his third album, This Is What I Mean, on 25 November last year - and the record soared to the top of the UK album charts.
The star - whose real name is Michael Omari - is said to have registered a track on a music database, signalling the imminent release of new music.
And his record label, which is part of the Warner Music Group company, is said to be excited of the prospect of another hit album from the star after his first three all tops the UK charts.

Meanwhile, Stormzy’s ex-girlfriend Maya, 28, has seen her popularity boost this month as she took over hosting duties on ITV2’s popular reality romance show, Love Island.
The host, who dated Stormzy from 2015 until 2019, took over hosting duties from 37-year-old Laura Whitmore who quit the show last year after two years.
Some viewers claimed they were watching Love Island only to see the host in action, with one tweeting: “I’m only watching for Maya Jama.”
And another commented: “Maya Jama. That’s it. Love Island done, thanks for coming.”
While a host of celebrities from Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock to modelling icon Abbey Clancy showered the star with praise.
The warm reception touched Maya herself.
Taking to social media after her debut at the beginning of the week, the star wrote: "overwhelmed from last night, thankyou so much for you’re kind words.”
