Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr recently shared her star-struck encounter with global icon Rihanna at the launch of her Fenty business in London.
In an interview with ABC News Live, Ayra reflected on the surreal moment of meeting Rihanna, expressing disbelief at the realization that the billionaire singer was indeed a human being like herself.
Recalling the encounter, Ayra expressed her admiration for Rihanna’s beauty and warmth, describing her as “beautiful and amazing.” She revealed that Rihanna offered her career advice during their conversation, although she chose to keep the details private.
The meeting with Rihanna marked yet another milestone in Ayra Starr’s burgeoning career, adding to a series of notable link-ups with fellow artists and influencers. Just days prior to meeting Rihanna, Ayra shared a viral video of herself singing alongside Tems, captivating audiences with their impromptu collaboration. Additionally, Ayra’s interactions with American actor Jaden Smith and online streamer Kai Cenat garnered widespread attention, showcasing her growing influence on a global scale.
However, Ayra Starr’s journey to success has not been without its challenges. In September 2023, she made headlines for declining to accept her Headies award off-stage, citing a lack of recognition compared to male artists. Her public refusal to accept the award underscored her commitment to equality and highlighted disparities within the music industry.
With each milestone and interaction, she solidifies her position as a trailblazing talent with a voice that resonates both locally and internationally.
