Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer Ayra Starr is gearing up to join Chris Brown on his upcoming North American tour “11:11.” In a recent interview with Kiss FM, UK, Starr expressed her excitement about the opportunity.

“I was super excited” to learn about the tour during Grammy week, Starr revealed. While holding back laughter, she admitted she might shed tears during her first performance due to the overwhelming experience.

Starr went on to praise Chris Brown’s support for African music. “He’s been a fan for a long time,” she said, “always supporting the culture.” She highlighted the growing global recognition of Afrobeats, a genre she believes “has been popping” and deserves its place on the world stage.

This collaboration between established R&B star Chris Brown and rising Afrobeats talent Ayra Starr signifies a growing bridge between musical genres and celebrates the international appeal of African music.
