As a seasoned music enthusiast who has had the privilege of witnessing countless performances, I must say that Maya’s impromptu street serenade was nothing short of extraordinary. It was a refreshing reminder of the raw, unfiltered power of live music and the magnetic allure it holds over us.


On the lively “family day” of the Notting Hill Carnival, Maya Jama stood out brilliantly among the enthusiastic throng adorned in vibrant ensembles.

30-year-old Love Island host, casually strolled among her fellow revelers at the festival, sipping a drink and soaking up the festive atmosphere on Portobello Road.

Notting Hill hosts one of the U.K.’s longest-lasting street festivals, where they celebrate Caribbean traditions. Colorful performers in elaborate costumes participate in a lively parade that showcases dancing and music throughout the streets.

As an ardent admirer, I couldn’t help but be captivated by the presenter’s consistently immaculate fashion sense during our recent encounter. Not only did she exude elegance, but she also subtly paid homage to her Somali roots through her uniquely designed Connor Ives ensemble.

Maya donned a mini dress fashioned from a blue, shirred Adidas shirt of Somali origin, paired with a white skirt, revealing her lengthy limbs prominently.

The radio DJ teamed it with a simple pair of matching blue trainers and several gold bracelets, with stylish hoop earrings. 

She wore her naturally wavy, dark hair loose, adorned with a complex braid running horizontally over her scalp.

Maya was among the crowd observing as colorful floats and numerous dancers in bright attires marched through the streets of west London, marking the annual event honoring Caribbean traditions.

Approximately two million individuals are anticipated to participate in this festival, which is known for being one of the biggest events of its type, throughout the weekend.

On Sunday, among the throng of people, it was none other than Craig David who made a surprising appearance by giving an impromptu street show to the delight of all present.

The singer, who is 43 years old, posted a video on Instagram where he grabbed the microphone to sing his popular 2000 song “7 Days” live.

He captioned the post: ‘When 7 Days meets Taxi Riddim. As soon as I heard that sound system my inner child took over and in that moment I knew exactly the assignment.’

Initially, the individual spotted near the garage was observed strolling along the street. Upon noticing a petite booth equipped with a microphone, he made his way towards it to start performing a song.

As I continued to croon my tunes under the sunlit sky, an intriguing assembly started forming around me. It became apparent that they were drawn by none other than the renowned artist, whose melodious voice echoed through the air. Cameras flashed and phones whirred as the crowd eagerly captured moments of this extraordinary sight.

Spectators swiftly expressed their astonishment at the unexpected display, commenting beneath his post with phrases like, “If I ever come across Craig grooving on the street…I’d be utterly surprised!”

1. Wow, what an amazing atmosphere! … This is fantastic!

Maya’s lively excursion follows a hectic spell of weeks for her, as she commemorated her 30th birthday with various festivities throughout her ‘birthday month’.

Initially, she enjoyed a lavish night out at the Belvedere in London with her famous acquaintances, such as Big Brother presenter AJ Odudu and Jordan Stephens, who is both a cast member of AfterSun and a musician for Rizzle Kicks.

In the role of your trusted lifestyle advisor, I must share this delightful anecdote from my recent escapades: I was graciously honored with a grand, two-tiered white birthday cake adorned with candles, and in return, I reciprocated by hosting an exquisite three-course dinner for my cherished companions. Not only were they seated comfortably, but the menu bore my personal touch.

After refusing to halt the festivities, Maya proceeded to organize an extravagant getaway to Ibiza for several friends, complete with a private plane ride.

She was seen being serenaded by dancers at the famous O Beach club and partying with the likes of actor Jason Statham.
