Nigerian singer and songwriter, Ayra Starr, has responded to a social media user who accused her of “dancing with the devil” during one of her recent performances.
The Mavin Records star, known for her energetic stage presence and bold fashion style, came under criticism after a video of her performance surfaced online. The critic alleged that her dance movements had spiritual undertones, sparking debate across social media platforms.
In her reply, Ayra Starr dismissed the claims as unfounded, stressing that her performances are purely for artistic expression and entertainment. She explained that as an artist, her creativity is often misunderstood, but she remains focused on her music and her fans.
The “Rush” crooner further urged critics to focus on her music and positive messages rather than spreading baseless assumptions. Her response quickly went viral, with many of her fans defending her, insisting that the accusations were an unfair attempt to tarnish her image.
The incident has once again highlighted the scrutiny faced by entertainers in Nigeria, where public figures are often judged not just by their art but also by cultural and religious interpretations of their actions.
Industry watchers note that Ayra Starr’s rising popularity, both locally and internationally, continues to attract attention, making her a frequent subject of discussion online. Despite the controversy, she remains one of Nigeria’s fastest-rising stars, with a growing global audience.
