Discussing how she handles criticism, particularly regarding her appearance or singing, Ayra Starr shared, “I read stuff, I see stuff. Sometimes if it’s very bad, I just let them. I feel like I’m in my ‘let them’ era. But sometimes if it’s stupid, I just block.”
In a surprising revelation, Ayra Starr opened up about her restrained spending habits, disclosing that she refrained from purchasing an expensive purse she desired because her mother would disapprove.
Despite her financial capability, she explained how her mother’s influence continues to shape her choices, portraying her as a typical Nigerian mother.
The Grammy nominee further detailed how her mother’s watchful eye extends to her professional commitments, noting that if she goes out late for a show, her mother diligently calls not only her but everyone in the vicinity.
