Ayra Starr: The New Rihanna and Emerging Global Sensation

Following a careful comparison between Ayra Starr and music legend Rihanna, French producer and DJ David Guetta declared Ayra Starr the next big global sensation after Rihanna in a recent Skype interview with Cool FM in Lagos, Nigeria.

This recognition stems from Ayra Starr’s unique musical style, which holds the potential to captivate listeners worldwide.

In his words, “When people speak about Ayra Starr in the [music] industry, many of us see her as the new Rihanna. Due to her unique background, she emanates a distinct vibe upon arrival. Moreover, she has the ability to adapt to other cultures.”

Guetta continued, “Since we recorded, she is achieving even more hits. It’s crazy. I’m French. I was in Paris, and everyone was talking about her. I was shocked, like, ‘This is amazing. An African artist killing it in Europe, killing it in the U.S, it’s not an everyday occurrence. The last time I saw this was working with Akon.’”

Ayra Starr, a 21-year-old artist known for hits like “Rush,” recently earned her first Grammy nomination. In a Twitter post, she expressed her overwhelming joy at being named Best African Music Performance.

Her nomination puts her in competition with industry heavyweights such as Davido, Burna Boy, and Olamide.
