“Tyla Is My Homegirl, That’s My G” – Ayra Starr Stands By Tyla Despite Grammy Comparisons
Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has opened up about the comparisons drawn between her and South African artist Tyla.
The two talented musicians recently found themselves in the spotlight after both were nominated for the inaugural Best African Music Performance category at the 66th Grammy Awards.
Ultimately, Tyla took home the award, which sparked discussions online regarding their musical styles and achievements.
In her first public response to these comparisons, Ayra Starr spoke during an interview with BBC Radio 1 Xtra.
She emphasized that the rivalry doesn’t affect her relationship with Tyla at all.
Instead, she affectionately referred to Tyla as her “home girl” and her “Gee,” showcasing a sense of friendship rather than competition.
Ayra expressed her thoughts on the matter, saying, “Tyla is my homegirl, that’s my Gee.
That doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t care about all of that. Less noise, more music.”
Her focus remains on collaboration and support rather than comparison, noting the need for unity among African artists.
She continued, stressing the importance of collaboration in the rapidly growing Afrobeats genre.
“Let’s support each other, like, why not? Afrobeats and African music are about to take over the world, and we have to come together to make that happen.
There’s no need for comparisons.”
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
