Television presenter Maya Jama has spoken out in new tweets following inaccurate rumours that she had been engaging in a new romance with rapper B Young
Television presenter Maya Jama has been forced to deny sleeping with rapper B Young.
The radio DJ, 26, took to social media to speak out on social media rumours surrounding her love life.
A fan shared a shot on Twitter of an Instagram comment that saw someone claim she was "macking byoung", where Maya could be seen replying: "I heard your mum was playing his song yday, she must be mackin too."
The term "macking" is slang for intensely making out with someone.
A fan of Maya's took to Twitter to share the image of the exchange, tweeting: "1000001 I love @mayajama. Being a woman in the music industry is hard work."
This prompted Maya to then go on and share the tweet of the exchange, clearly showing her frustration with speculations about her love life.
Maya then went on to tweet: "Loool update! Ladies we can not listen to a male artist without sh***ing him."
The exchange comes after Maya was forced to deny a romance with former Love Island contestant Wes Nelson when images of the pair appeared on social media.
One follower commented: "Maya Jama is a prime example of you can’t have boys mates without instantly everyone thinking you’re s***ging."
Maya replied: "Oh honey it’s been this way.
"This is after he was on my team for a TV show but I've learnt even if I stood there with a sign on my head saying PRESENTER AT WORK if I’m next to a man people will act like I linked him down the road for a snog."
The presenter added: "It is a bit f***** when I think about it.
"I'll be doing my job minding my business, and next thing you know I’m on a blog with a 12-year-old debating how many men I've been with from selfies they've seen."
Maya was previously in a high-profile relationship, having dated Grime star Stormzy for four years until their split in August 2019.
She previously told Cosmopolitan that having a relationship so visible in the public eye has given her anxiety surrounding future relationships.
She said: "It makes me nervous [about] who I'm going to be with next, because if they aren't in the public eye already, maybe they're going to be brought into [it]."
She continued: "It's made me extra careful. I was 20 when I got into that [with Stormzy]. Now life is different. Even social media is bigger.
"It's going to be harder to keep things private but I’ll do my best."
