Nigerian singer Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, also known as Ayra Starr, has revealed that she is now coming to terms with her father’s death.
She disclosed that the outro of her second album, “The Year I Turned 21,” titled “The Kids Are All Right,” is a memorial to her father, who passed away many years ago.
This was revealed by the hitmaker in a recent Elle magazine interview.
“I end the album with a song called ‘The Kids Are All Right,’ which is my niece singing about dad and finally coming to terms with the death of my dad,” she said.
Ayra Starr, who is known for her hits such as ‘Rush’, ‘Sability’, ‘Rhythm & Blues’, Commas, and more, is gearing up for the release of her second album titled ‘The Year I Turned 21’ which is expected to drop in May 2024.
Ayra Starr’s sophomore album features Asake, Seyi Vibez, Giveon, Anitta, Coco Jones and Mil.
In a different story, Ayra Starr denied knowing of the rivalry between her fellow musicians Asake and Seyi Vibez.
There has never been a public altercation between Asake and Seyi Vibez, but there has always been tension between their fan communities, particularly on social media.
Ayra Starr was asked if she deliberately chose to collaborate with both men on her sophomore album, “The Year I Turned 21,” because of their rivalry in a recent interview with The Beat FM Lagos. She denied being aware of the rivalry.
She claims that she chose to collaborate with them because she adores their musical ability.
She said,
“I didn’t put Asake and Seyi Vibez on my album because of their rivalry. I didn’t know about the rivalry between Asake and Seyi Vibez. I just love both of them as artists.
“I’m really big on sonics; what would sound good sonically. My team is always thinking of the business side but I’m just thinking of who would be sonically compatible with me. And I’ve been listening to Seyi Vibez’s ‘Different Pattern’ for a very long time. So I decided to work with him. When I sent the record to him, he sent his verse almost immediately. They were very quick with it. Asake, too, he sent me his verse in three days.”
