The news of a potential collaboration between Ayra Starr, Tems, and Rihanna has sparked excitement on social media, especially considering Rihanna’s hiatus from music.
Rihanna’s last release was the 2022 track ‘Lift Me Up’ from the ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ soundtrack, which was co-written by Tems.
Both Tems and Ayra Starr have announced upcoming albums in 2024. Tems revealed at her recent Coachella performance that her album was ready, teasing an unreleased track from the album that samples Seyi Sodimu’s classic single ‘Love Me Jeje.’
Fans eagerly anticipate potential collaborations between Tems and Ayra Starr in their upcoming albums, and perhaps, a surprise feature from Rihanna as well.
