Nigerian music star Ayra Starr is charting her own course in the music industry, embracing a mindset of self-assurance and creative freedom.
The Grammy-nominated singer, known for her meteoric rise from Mavins Records’ breakout star to global sensation, revealed in a BBC Radio 1xtra interview that she no longer feels pressured by expectations from fans or critics. “I don’t see the need to prove myself to anybody,” Ayra Starr stated, emphasizing that her music now reflects her personal journey and inner growth.
This philosophy inspired her latest single, Hot Body. The 22-year-old explained that the song wasn’t just about delivering another hit but about celebrating her current state of mind and confidence. “I released my song Hot Body because I feel like this is the right time. I’m in the right headspace. I feel good. Right now, my body is better than I have ever felt,” she shared.
With Hot Body, Ayra Starr is showing that her artistry is guided by authenticity and self-expression, marking a new chapter where her music mirrors her own experiences rather than external expectations.
