Grammy-nominated Afrobeats star, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, professionally known as Ayra Starr, has opened up about her personal life, revealing that she has never been in love.
In a recent interview with Dazed Magazine, the “Rush” hitmaker disclosed that, despite her public persona as a “lover girl,” she has not experienced the feeling of being in love. Ayra Starr, who graced the cover of the latest issue of the British leisure magazine, shared her thoughts on love and relationships.
She said, “I want to fall in love. I wrote ‘Lagos Love Story’ about what love would look like if I were in it. I am a lover girl deep in my heart, I’m just very strong-headed about it. I actually have never been in love. I have been in certain situations – not situationships! – but I have never been in a fully committed relationship.”
Ayra Starr continued, “I’ve put myself out there and I’ve tried to see what’s there but I don’t think I’ve had the time. I’ve been working since I was 15, modeling, doing university, and now I’m on the road.”
She added, “It’s me just enjoying myself as a girl. I’m like, let me sing to a cute boy today and I’m looking around because I can – why not?”
