Just days after his ex-girlfriend Maya Jama was seen posing with boxer Anthony Joshua, Stormzy has teased something new.
While dressed as a boxer.
Is this a message? Or just stellar timing?
The rapper who recently took Glastonbury by storm appeared to be on the cusp of releasing something fresh, as he took to social media this evening.
Wearing a boxing outfit and gloves, the Vossi Bop performer was flanked by a group of people as he looked ahead at…something.
Was it for a film clip, perhaps?
‘You lot think you’re f**king funny yeah kool,’ he wrote, teasing the date 6 September along with the tag #SoundsOfTheSkeng.
And our Stormzy-senses are tinging with this new information.
We’ve been champing at the bit for a fresh banger after he released Vossi Bop earlier this year, off the 27-year-old’s second coming that followed acclaimed debut Gang Signs & Prayer.
But along with this, all we’re saying is it was curious outfit seeing as his ex-girlfriend Maya sent fans into a spin earlier this week when she hung out with boxer Anthony.
Fans were wondering whether his post had anything to do with the image, but we reckon it’s all just a coinkydink.
It comes after Maya shot a new campaign with Lucozade, and the 25-year-old presenter shared a selfie with the boxer on Twitter, captioning the post: ‘Working with this one today @anthonyfjoshua.’
She even shared some behind the scenes videos from the shoot over on Instagram Stories, sitting with Anthony on the side of the boxing ring before taking some tips from the former world heavyweight champ.
‘Right, so he’s teaching me how to fight,’ she told her one million Instagram followers as she joked around with Anthony.
Coming just a week since Maya ended her four-year relationship with British grime superstar, fans of the presenter were hyped to see the pair working together and started shipping them immediately.
‘We love to see it,’ one follower wrote, while another added: ‘The new power couple, early stages.’
Stormzy and Maya’s split came as a shock to the world, as the couple had celebrated Maya’s birthday party in Hackney the weekend prior to the shock announcement.
However, a publicist for the Vossi Bop musician confirmed on Wednesday that the couple had gone their separate ways, later denying the rumours that Stormzy had cheated on Maya with singer Jorja Smith.
