Ayra Starr, the vibrant Afrobeats sensation, recently opened up about how she feels after recording her songs. Surprisingly, she admitted that she often doesn’t like them once they’re done. In her words, she always feels like she could have done better, constantly striving for perfection.
But there’s one track that made her feel differently—Woman Commando, featuring Anita and Coco Jones. Ayra described it as a rare moment where she felt she absolutely nailed it, calling it “dope” and feeling proud every time she listens to it.
In a candid chat with Rolling Stone, Ayra shared how perfectionism drives her to keep pushing herself. She also mentioned that she loves listening to artists like SZA, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and Rema in her downtime, drawing inspiration from their unique styles.
Meanwhile, Ayra’s mom is also making waves in her own way. She recently encouraged Nigerian women aged 40 to 60 to get on TikTok, saying it can be great for mental well-being. Speaking from personal experience, she shared how being on the platform has boosted her creativity and transformed her mindset.
In a heartfelt message on her TikTok page, Ayra’s mom expressed gratitude for the community and encouraged other women to share their life experiences online. She believes that connecting on social media can be uplifting and refreshing for middle-aged women.
Ayra Starr’s story is more than just about music—it’s about embracing growth, pushing boundaries, and finding empowerment in unexpected places.
