“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.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, shares that he will not be starting a family anytime soon due to his busy schedule for his music tour.
It can be recalled that on the singer’s birthday this year, he expressed his desire to have kids and start a family.
However, he recently shared that his desire might have to be put on hold:
“Yeah, but I don’t want to start that on the road. I’m not planning on quitting tours anytime soon, so I don’t know where to now put that [starting a family]; find a middle ground.”
Nigerian relationship coach, Blessing CEO, shares her thoughts on why some men dislike the fact that their women are more successful and see it as a threat to their marriage.
During a recent interview, the relationship coach spoke on the general issue of how some men react to their women being more successful. She shared that they mostly fear the masculinity that comes with it.
“No man is intimidated by your success. They are only afraid of the masculinity that comes with success. Because when a woman starts to make money on her own, she automatically becomes a man. Once you can provide, you automatically become a man. You will see yourself subconsciously dragging might. Because at the end of the day, what makes a man powerful is the ability to provide. That is what gives him that mantle.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, confirms his uncle, Governor Adeleke’s, move from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The singer confirms this move in his latest song, which he titled “From Umbrella to Broom.” It can be noted that the umbrella signifies the PDP, while the broom signifies the APC in their respective logos.
The singer then speaks on this fact and shares that his uncle will still continue doing great things from this political party. It can also be noted that the singer, as well as Governor Adeleke, took a visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In Davido’s song, the singer sang in Yoruba, which means, “Why are we suffering when the new broom can sweep better?” He also sang about the fact that the youths of today plan to go overseas and not stay in Nigeria.
