The Vossi Bop rapper was present at Maya’s 25th birthday bash at Night Tales bar in Hackney, East London, on Sunday night but their relationship broke down this week.
A source close to the telly host said: “Maya has moved out of their home in South West 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.”

The pair were last seen together in June at Glastonbury festival, where Maya supported the headline set of the BRIT award-winner, whose real name is Michael Ebenazer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr.
Opening up about her high-profile relationship in the past she said: “We’re the same as a normal couple, it’s literally a normal relationship.
“We did one Vogue shoot and that’s the only one we’ll do and we left it there.”
After meeting at Red Bull Culture Clash in late 2014, they began dating the following January.

Recalling the meeting Maya, who grew up in Bristol, said: “You know, if I’m really honest, I knew I fancied him from the start.
“But I didn’t want anything yet, because, you know, you’re trying to do the whole friend situation first, and then I’d do, like, obvious hints that I fancied him and then take it back because I didn’t know if he definitely liked me.
