Recently, popular Nigerian singer Ayra Starr opened up about her experiences with fame and the pressures of the music industry during an intimate conversation with American singer and actress Coco Jones.
In a Rolling Stone-produced chat, the two stars discussed the realities of life in the spotlight, highlighting the often hidden challenges they face as women in the industry.
Reflecting on her journey, Ayra Starr shared insights into the relentless demands of her career.
“I feel like it’s always a lot,” she admitted. “People only see about 1%, but for an artist, it takes a village. It takes so much to get things done right.”
She described the toll her hectic schedule takes, especially after a whirlwind year of performing. “I did so many shows last year… sometimes I disappear when it gets overwhelming,” she said, acknowledging her need to retreat and recharge.
Starr explained that despite her rising fame, she still lives with her family, which keeps her grounded.
“When I go back home, I’m still living with my family. My brothers might be making noise and playing video games, so the house is still very much full,” she noted, adding that being close to her loved ones helps her cope with the pressures of fame.
Emphasizing her connection to her roots, she revealed that she seeks out Nigerian food wherever she travels as it provides a sense of comfort and happiness.
Ayra also spoke about her creative journey, sharing how, despite the industry’s noise, she stays true to her artistic vision.
“I definitely listen to close people around me, but I knew what I wanted creatively,” she said. “I’ve always had the freedom to create whatever kind of music I wanted.”
