Ayra Starr: “I can’t date a musician even in dream”
Nigerian singer Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, widely recognized as Ayra Starr, recently shared insights into her dating preferences during an interview with Coco Jones for the Musicians on Musicians issue of Rolling Stone. At just 22 years old, Starr has captured the attention of many with her vibrant music, yet she holds a clear vision for her personal life.
When questioned about the possibility of dating someone within the music industry, Starr expressed a firm stance. She stated, “In the dream world, it wouldn’t be somebody that is in the [music] industry. Probably just like a billionaire.” Her whimsical yet telling response painted a picture of her ideal partner: a wealthy individual who can support her luxurious lifestyle.
Starr humorously clarified her dream scenario, envisioning herself on a yacht in Dubai, signifying a desire for opulence and adventure. This candid admission offers a glimpse into her ambitions not only as an artist but also as a person seeking a life of comfort and extravagance.
As Ayra Starr continues to make waves in the music scene, her distinct outlook on romance undoubtedly adds to her allure as a rising star.

Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
