Fast-rising singer, Ayra Starr, succumbs to external pressure as she issues a formal apology and sheds light on her rationale behind extending a handshake to the venerable juju singer, King Sunny Ade.
This development comes in the wake of a widely circulated video from a recent event, showcasing the 'Sabi Girl' crooner nonchalantly approaching King Sunny Ade for a handshake.
Ayra Starr, however, faced substantial criticism from social media users who labeled her as an uncultured Nigerian lady, citing her interaction with the veteran singer as disrespectful.
Responding to the allegations, Sabi Girl extended an apology for the perceived disrespect and provided an explanation for her actions.
According to Ayra Starr, she initially failed to recognize King Sunny Ade due to the event's lighting conditions but took corrective measures upon realizing her mistake.
In a post on the X platform, she expressed, “😭😭 I’m so sorry, I had just walked in and all the lights and nerves didn’t let me see, but I came back around to greet everyone properly. I have never been that girl to be disrespectful; I’m a proper Yoruba girlllll, and the video didn’t start until after I’d greeted burna’s mom! I’m very sorry to the legend, uncle, and King Sunny Ade,” she wrote.
