The Sun revealed he would be singing about Maya on the track.

Stormzy admits he had “done the dirt” during their four-year relationship.

The lyrics also include “the greatest love I ever knew” and “it’s too hard to forgive”.

The love rat even reveals they spoke about having a baby together.

Stormzy, real name Michael Omari, said: “It was a hot topic and I’m going on record now and I’m apologising.

“I’m trying to lay it all bare and be very truthful. I’m not trying to shy away from it.

"It was a public disrespect. It was a public disrespect that needed a public apology.”

This week Stormzy goes head to head in the charts with HARRY STYLES, who also released his second album, Fine Line, yesterday.

Stormzy and Maya ended their relationship in August, as we revealed, saying they wanted to focus on their careers.

Later that month he denied rumours he had cheated with singer Jorja Smith.

But Stormzy told the Radio 1Xtra Breakfast Show: “That girl gave me the world. That’s a phenomenal woman that loved man wholeheartedly and was man’s everything.

"I disrespected and was inconsiderate — a big disrespect.”

He said she knew the track would be on the album but hadn’t heard it. Might be best if she doesn’t.

Kammy's on Brits gong list

DUA Lipa, Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith have won Best Newcomer gongs at the Brits in recent years – but Chris Kamara could be an unlikely winner in February.

The Sky Sports presenter, 61, released his debut album Here’s To Christmas last month and appears on the Brits longlist.

But that will be whittled down by a jury of music industry experts before the nominations shortlist is announced in January.

Kammy is also being considered in the Male Solo Artist category, but faces strong competition from the likes of Stormzy, Tom Walker, Harry Styles and Mark Ronson.

The You’re Beautiful singer says he’s looking forward to seeing the latest instalment The Rise Of Skywalker which is out later this month and features the late actress thanks to unused footage.

Carrie, who played legendary character Princess Leia, was Godmother to James’ son and died in 2016.

James said: “As a fan it will be wonderful to get one last peak of her and to see her move again.

“I find watching the movies quite sad but at the same time, I feel a massive celebration and for me to see her back on the big screen in a role that made her in the first place is fantastic.

“She is celebrated in the way that she would love.”

They’re in talks with artists including J Balvin, Maluma and Bad Bunny to include them in the American football spectacle.

A music industry source said: “This will put otherwise unknown artists onto a world stage propelling Latin music even further into the mainstream.”

The two music legends of Latin Amrican heritage were officially confirmed for the 2020 slot in September.

It’s sure to be a performance with a lot of culture.

Even the 89-year-old Britain’s Got Talent winner Colin Thackery who is 63 years older than the former One Direction singer – had a better result.

The Chelsea Pensioner’s Love Changes Everything was just outside the top ten at No13.

It comes after I reported this week that Liam’s debut album, which was four years in the making, had got off to a terrible start.

His cringey and creepy lyrics have not hit the right note with fans and it goes to show how much the 1D boys need each other. Separately, they are monumental flops.

Chart veterans have truly shown the youngsters how to do it.

Rod Stweart is the UK’s new No1 with his album a You’re In My Heart seeing off strong competition from rockers The Who and last week’s chart- topper Robbie Williams.

Tonight, Rod appears in Dermot O'Leary's documentary Reel Stories on BBC2 at 9.10pm, followed by a repeat of his 2013 Imagine documentary and then Rod Live In Hyde Park from 2015.

Liam should tune in and take note.

She slammed the music industry’s “toxic male privilege” at Billboard’s Women In Music event while picking up the gong for Woman Of The Decade.

The Shake It Off singer said: “Lately there has been a new shift that is a potentially harmful force in our industry.

That is the unregulated world of private equity coming in and buying up our music as if it was real estate.”

It comes after Scooter, who manages Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande , acquired the rights to Taylor’s first six albums when he bought her old record label, Big Machine. Scooter responded by saying he wanted to resolve things with Taylor. She told the awards: “Scooter never contacted me to discuss it.

“The definition of toxic male privilege is people saying, ‘But he’s always been nice to me,’ when I’m raising valid concerns about artists and their right to own their music. Private equity is what enabled this man to think he could ‘buy me’. I’m not going willingly.”
