Ayra Starr Joins Roc Nation Roster, But Remains Signed to Mavin Records
Nigerian music sensation Ayra Starr has officially joined the roster of Roc Nation, the entertainment powerhouse founded by global icon Jay-Z—a move that has sparked speculation about her status with Mavin Records.
However, despite the high-profile announcement, Ayra Starr remains signed to Mavin Records, one of Africa’s leading music labels. There is no departure from the Don Jazzy-led imprint.
The partnership with Roc Nation is reportedly a distribution and management deal, similar to arrangements made with other international stars like Megan Thee Stallion.
The deal is not a label switch, but a strategic move aimed at expanding Ayra Starr’s global footprint, particularly in the U.S. and European markets.
With Roc Nation’s backing, Ayra Starr is poised for more high-profile collaborations, brand partnerships, and wider international recognition, all while still being a central figure under the Mavin Records umbrella.
This development underscores her rising global influence and signals a new chapter in her journey as one of Africa’s most exciting exports.
