Why I put Asake, and Seyi Vibez on my album despite being rivals – Ayra Starr
Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr has clarified her reasons for collaborating with Asake and Seyi Vibez, despite the rivalry between the two superstars.
In an interview with The Beat FM Lagos, Ayra Starr explained that her decision to work with them was purely driven by her admiration for their musical talents.
When asked if featuring both singers on her second album, ‘The Year I Turned 21,’ was influenced by their rumored rivalry, she responded that it was not intentional.
Although Asake and Seyi Vibez have not had any public disputes, there has been noticeable tension between their fan bases on social media.
“I didn’t put Asake and Seyi Vibez on my album because of their rivalry. I didn’t know about the rivalry between Asake and Seyi Vibez. I just love both of them as artists”
”I’m really big on sonic; what would sound good sonically. My team is always thinking of the business side but I’m just thinking of who would be sonically compatible with me. And I’ve been listening to Seyi Vibez’s ‘Different Pattern’ for a very long time. So I decided to work with him. When I sent the record to him, he sent his verse almost immediately.
“They were very quick with it. Asake, too, he sent me his verse in three days.”
