2. Interviews and Quotes from Stormzy about his split

   In Louis Theroux interviews Stormzy, he opened up about the break up candidly.

   The rapper revealed that the break-up was "probably the biggest catalyst" for his growth as a person.

   "It was like, OK, you made a mistake and you lose someone you loved, someone you cared for, someone who is special to you," Stormzy continued.

   

   Also in the interview, Stormzy said that his breakup is "probably the biggest loss a man can have, isn’t it? Away from someone passing away, that’s the biggest loss you can have."

   The rapper also opened up about the breakup in an interview with GQ magazine, where he admitted that the breakup was "really heavy on his heart."

   He said: I'd never experienced a breakup and the feelings that come with a breakup. And I never wanted to ever be in a position again where I felt what I was feeling. Because it showed me that I was a boy. And I do not want to go any further as a boy."

   

   The 29-year-old continued: "So what is the necessary work I have to do to make sure I’m not in this position again? That means growth, accountability, changing my character, changing my routines, my habits, my tradition, my values, my morals.

   "Because how I feel right now and how I’ve made someone else feel and how I’ve devastated a world that I was living in – I just never want to be in this position again. So what do I need to do?"

   Here's hoping that the couple reunite, but only time will tell!
