Ayra Starr, the 22-year-old Grammy-nominated singer, shared her views on romance and the music industry in a Rolling Stone interview with Coco Jones.
Gatekeepers News reports that Ayra Starr, real name Oyinkansola Aderibigbe, emphasised her preference for relationships outside the music industry, citing a desire for separate personal and professional life.
“In the dream world, it wouldn’t be somebody that is in the industry,” she said.
“Probably just like a billionaire. On a yacht. In Dubai. In a thong.”
The ‘Rush’ hitmaker also explained that her high standards stem from never having been in a fully committed relationship.
“It is hard because you have to be very careful about who you give your energy to. And I’m so happy I wasn’t really dating before I started music,” she said.
“I didn’t really know what I was missing. So now that I waited this long to date people, I have very high standards.
“If it’s gonna be hard to meet it, it’s gonna be bye-bye. But also, I don’t have time for myself; talk less of a boy.”
