“I live with my family, I ask their opinions on what I wear” – Ayra Starr
Afrobeats star Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, widely known as Ayra Starr, reflects on the stabilizing role her family life plays amid her rising fame and success.
In a recent interview with Coco Jones for Rolling Stone’s Musicians on Musicians series, Ayra revealed that she still resides with her family when she returns to Nigeria, cherishing the daily joys and occasional chaos that accompany family life.
“When I go back home [to Nigeria], I still live with my family. My brothers are making noise playing video games,” she said.
Ayra also revealed that she relies on her friends for personal style advice, often reaching out to them through a group chat to get their opinions on her outfits.
She added, “I still involve my friends in my life. We have a group chat where I solicit their opinions on what I wear. I thank God for my friends and family. Although, sometimes, it gets overwhelming and I have to disappear.”
