Singer Ayra Starr has responded to criticism after facing backlash over her recent outfit, which sparked online debate for being considered revealing when paired with a traditional gele.
The 23-year-old artiste drew attention after she appeared in a bold fashion combination of a traditional Nigerian gele and a modern streetwear-inspired outfit while performing at the Zsongo Experience Part 1 held at KOKO London. The event also featured a surprise appearance from fellow singer Tiwa Savage.
Photos and clips from the performance quickly spread across social media, triggering mixed reactions from users who debated her fashion choice.
Addressing the controversy on Instagram, Ayra Starr brushed off the criticism and made it clear she was unaffected by the comments.
“Y’all relax in the comments I’ve worn way worse and I’m going to wear wayyy worse so manage your yarns.”
Her statement has since generated divided reactions online, with some fans praising her confidence and self-expression, while others continued to criticise her style choices.
