Nigerian singer, Ayra Starr says she’s nost bothered with how she has been compared with South African singer Tyla.
Recall that the youngsters attracted comparisons online after they were both nominated in the maiden Best African Music Performance category at the 66th Grammys, which Tyla beat Ayra Starr and other Nigerian artists to the gong.
Addressing the comparison for the first time during an interview with BBC Radio 1 Xtra, Ayra Starr said she’s not letting the comparison affect her relationship with Tyla.
She described the South African diva as her “home girl” and her “G.”
She said, “Tyla is my homegirl, that’s my G. That doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t care about all of that. Less noise, more music.
Let’s support each other, like, why not, like afrobeats and African music is about to take over the world and we have to come together to be able to do that. There’s no need for comparisons.”
