In an interview with Kiss FM, UK, Savage commended Ayra for her resilience amidst criticism, highlighting her global success. She described Ayra as incredibly talented and stunning.
Expressing her admiration, Savage said, “I love Ayra [Starr]. I’m obsessed with her. She’s amazing and genuine, too. It makes me emotional because when I started, I got criticised a lot for dressing too sexy and my lyrics being too risky.”
She continued, “So, seeing someone, Ayra now…If I see her wearing the short skirts as they [critics]say, I’m like, ‘Make it shorter.’ And she looks amazing, she’s extremely talented. Yeah, she’s a star.”
