Afrobeat sensation, Ayra Starr recently touched down in Brazil, delivering a thrilling performance that left the crowd buzzing with excitement at the C6 Fest in São Paulo.
Starr’s performance was a visual spectacle. She took the stage in a stunning yellow and green outfit that paid homage to the Brazilian flag, symbolizing unity and appreciation for her Brazilian fans.
The ensemble featured a yellow crop top with blue straps around the neck, paired with a green mini skirt, solidifying her signature style as the queen of mini skirts. The Nigerian Afro-beat singer completed her look with a pair of platform white sneakers. Starr wore her hair in long cornrows that cascaded down to her waistline.
The 21-year-old Music Star was on the roll with a selection of her hit singles on stage, including the viral “Bloody Samaritan,” the Grammy-nominated “Rush,” and “Away” from her self-titled debut EP. The event attracted fans from across South America, spotlighting Ayra Starr’s status as the star of the moment, and further elevating the growing international appeal of Afrobeat.
“Brazillllll 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷thank youuuu !! Can’t wait to come back !” she wrote while sharing the videos with fans on Instagram. “Got to perfom 4 new songs from my new album !”
Fans were quick to drop comments as one user responded with message like “You don’t need Tyla 👏👏👏 You are viral 🔥🔥🔥.” Another fan wrote, “GIRRRRL I LOVE U SO MUCH 😭😭😭♥️ thank u for being such an inspiration.. You’ll always have a place in Brazil’s heart 🇧🇷.”
During the concert, Ayra Starr connected with fans who showed their support with placards featuring her “Sabi Girl” tag. This show of love, including fans calling themselves “Sabigays,” (a homage to Ayra Starr’s nickname, Sabi Girl), has sparked controversy, especially in Nigeria, where some question if she has become a gay rights activist especially after she reposted some of those tags on Instagram.
Beyond Brazil, the award-winning star is gearing up for the release of her sophomore album, ‘The Year I Turned 21,’ which will feature guest appearances from Asake, Giveon, Coco Jones, Anitta, Don Jazzy, and her younger brother Milar.
She has also shared that her upcoming album is designed to appeal to listeners across all demographics, despite being written from the perspective of a 21-year-old.
Ahead of the album’s release, Ayra Starr has dropped collaborative singles like ‘RnB,’ ‘Comma,’ and the recent ‘Bad Vibes’ featuring Seyi Vibez.
