“I wasn’t sure of “Rush” when I recorded it. I had to play it for Rema and Crayon…” — Ayra Starr.
Mavin princess, Ayra Starr recently admitted that she didn’t always like her popular song “Rush” and how Rema and Crayon encouraged her to release it.
The popular singer admitted in a recent interview with Joey Akan that she had her doubts about the song and didn’t think it would be a hit at first.
She admitted that although the team persuaded her to give it a shot, she was apprehensive to release it. She didn’t see the song’s potential or start to feel secure in it until after it was released and began to gain popularity.
In order to gain open-minded feedback, the singer recalled playing the song to Rema and Crayon.
She really claimed that Rema, who has a reputation for being brutally honest on the team, was the first to mention that the song was a hit.
Crayon didn’t say anything when she played the music for him; instead, he simply danced along, demonstrating that it was a jam.
