Afrobeats singer Ayra Starr recently discussed cultural similarities and her experiences in the music industry during an interview with Capital Xtra in London.
When asked about her observations on cultural differences, she noted that Nigeria and the UK are remarkably similar, describing Nigerian and British cultures as “very similar.”
“I feel like the UK is very similar to Nigeria. The culture is not much different, but I think it’s the food. The UK food, not Chinese, Nigerian, or Italian food, is British food. There was one food that I had that was jellied.”
She also reflected on her recent tour with Chris Brown, describing it as “eye-opening.”
“Going on tour with Chris Brown was eye-opening,” she said.
She expressed her admiration for songs by other artists, wishing she had written “B**ch Better Have My Money” by Rihanna and “Snooze” by SZA.
She also shared her desire to relocate to New York, a city that has inspired many artists before her.
