Maya Jama has revealed that she once “considered” setting up an OnlyFans account. However, she explained she pondered joining the racy adult subscription service only to play tricks on prospective followers.
Maya Jama is an English television, and radio presenter, comedian, and DJ.
Jama attended Cotham School Bristol. She is of Somali descent on her father’s side and Swedish descent on her mother’s side.
