Afrobeats star Ayra Starr has opened up about the profound impact her 2024 meeting with billionaire icon Rihanna had on her mental health.

Seeing Rihanna point out her favorite parts felt "unreal" and provided the validation she needed.
“At that time I was struggling with my self-image and confidence, so that moment meant everything. I felt God had sent her to me,” Ayra Starr admitted.
This meeting followed Rihanna’s earlier public praise for Ayra Starr and Tems, where she expressed an interest in collaborating with the Nigerian stars.
Ayra Starr continues to cite Rihanna as her biggest role model and inspiration.
