“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.”
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
