She said
Every backstage I have to eat noodles. Noodles are my favorite food in the world, and it just comforts me. In Nigeria, we have noodles called indomie. I used to get it since I was a child, when I became a teenager, and when I was in school. When I was in uni, I couldn’t cook, I would always just make indomie, and as Nigerians, we know how to make things taste amazing in different ways.
The most important component for Ayra Starr, which is family, was unquestionably included. She claims that because her brother is a songwriter, he must accompany her on tour.
She said:
My brother is a songwriter, and he’s my best friend, so he has to be with me.
