I just let them and I don’t keep things in my mind because I won’t remember in like three hours.

Emphasizing her evolving mindset, she reiterated, I just let them, and I don’t keep things in my mind because I won’t remember in like three hours.

Similar to numerous celebrities, Ayra Starr often encounters criticism on social media, particularly regarding her fashion choices.

However, on January 27, 2024, she faced severe backlash after a video circulated showing her shaking hands with musical icon King Sunny Ade instead of adhering to the traditional Yoruba custom of kneeling.

Social media users accused her of disrespecting King Sunny Ade due to his seniority and extensive experience in the music industry.

In response to the backlash, Ayra Starr issued an apology on her Twitter (now X) account, clarifying the circumstances of the encounter.

I’m so sorry, I had just walked in and all the lights and nerves didn’t let me see but I came back around to greet everyone properly.

I have never been that girl to be disrespectful. I’m a proper Yoruba girl and the video didn’t start until after I’d greeted Burna’s mom! I’m very sorry to the legend, uncle, and King Sunny Ade, she expressed sincerely.
