“I’ve Always Wanted to Act” — Ayra Starr Excited About Her First Movie Role
Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has shared her excitement about stepping into the world of acting with her role in the upcoming Hollywood fantasy film Children of Blood and Bone. In a recent chat with CBS, Ayra opened up about how different acting felt compared to her music career. She admitted the experience pushed her to work harder and stick to strict schedules, something she wasn’t used to in music.
“This is my first movie ever,” she said. “I’m so used to being a singer, showing up on set and being a diva. But with acting, it’s not about you. You have to be on time, you have to be ready. It really taught me discipline and respect for actors. Their stamina is unbelievable.”
Ayra also revealed that acting has always been a dream of hers, but fear held her back. “I’ve always wanted to act, but I was so shy. This was my first time being in front of a camera and not singing. It was an amazing experience. I learned so much, not just from the legends, but from everyone on set.”
Children of Blood and Bone is based on the bestselling novel by Nigerian-American author Tomi Adeyemi and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. The film features a star-studded cast including Damson Idris, Tosin Cole, Idris Elba, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Cynthia Erivo, Viola Davis, and Thuso Mbedu. The highly anticipated film is set to hit cinemas on January 15, 2027, distributed by Paramount Pictures.
Nigerian gospel singer Moses Bliss has reacted to the public backlash he faced following a request he made to graphic designers.
It can be noted that the singer took to social media asking for a graphic designer to create a flyer, which later turned into a challenge that many criticised, stating it undervalued creatives.
Moses Bliss has now issued an apology, saying “I sincerely apologize to every graphic designer who felt disrespected or undervalued… that was never my intention.”
He added “The goal was to give creatives a platform to showcase their work, not to undermine their value.”
Nigerian DJ, DJ Neptune has expressed concern about the growing influence of artificial intelligence in the music industry and how it could affect jobs.
It can be noted that similar concerns have previously been raised online, especially on platforms like Twitter, where many fear AI could replace artists and producers.
He wrote “AI is quietly about to retire the entire music production and mastering industry. I have seen scary things tonight. God help all of us in this ecosystem.”
He further shared how advanced AI tools are already capable of producing high-quality music, raising questions about the future of human creativity in the industry.
