In 2023, French disc jockey and record producer David Guetta likened Ayra Starr to the new version of Barbadian-American superstar Rihanna.
In a recent interview with Cool FM Nigeria, Lagos, via Skype, the Frenchman said Ayra Starr’s music is unique and has the potential to attract a global audience.
