Ayra Starr, a popular Nigerian singer, has disclosed that her maths instructor prophesied she would sign with record label Mavin when she was in secondary school.
The vocalist, whose true name is Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, would go on to be signed by the record label, surpassing her teacher’s forecast.
Ayra Starr revealed this while speaking during the recent edition of “Afrobeats Intelligence” with Joey Akan.
She said the teacher inspired her in her music ambition, encouraging her to share her videos online for people to watch.
“I have a teacher that literally inspired me. He said I was going to be signed to Mavin. It’s crazy. I was 14 then, and he said, ‘Mavin is going to sign you. Start making videos.’ He would just inspire me. He was even Muslim, but he would tell me to go to church and join the choir. He was my math teacher,” the singer said.
