Ayra Starr Shuts Down Comparisons with Tyla.
Nigerian music sensation Ayra Starr has finally addressed the ongoing comparisons between herself and South African singer Tyla.
The two young stars found themselves in the spotlight after both being nominated for the Best African Music Performance category at the 66th Grammy Awards. Ultimately, Tyla emerged victorious, sparking a wave of online comparisons between the two artists.
During a recent interview with BBC Radio 1 Xtra, Ayra Starr clarified her stance on the matter. She dismissed the comparisons, emphasizing her strong bond with Tyla.
“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,” she stated.
Ayra Starr went on to advocate for unity within the African music scene. She encouraged artists to support one another rather than engage in divisive comparisons.
“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,” she concluded.
