‘I hope my mom won’t listen to song I bragged about sizing a man’s private part’ – Ayra Starr
Afrobeats singer Ayra Starr has humorously shared that she doesn’t want her mother to listen to the second verse of her new collaboration with Wizkid, Gimme Dat, due to its risqué and provocative content.
The verse, which has sparked mixed reactions, sees Ayra Starr singing about commanding a man to let her “survey” his private parts.
The lyrics, “So many people wan lick my stew, so baby chill make I survey your tools… and if I handle your 2 by 2, you fit to scream, you go lose your cool,” caught the attention of listeners for its bold and unfiltered approach.
While many fans applauded Ayra for her daring and confident delivery, others felt the verse was “too raw” for mainstream listening.
The track, which samples Wyclef Jean and Mary J. Blige’s 2000 hit 911, has continued to stir conversations around Ayra’s growing musical evolution and unapologetic approach to her craft.
Taking to her X (formerly Twitter) on April 26, 2025, Ayra Starr humorously wrote, “Hopefully my mom never listens to my second verse,” signalling her awareness of the controversial nature of the lyrics.
Despite the backlash, Ayra’s collaboration with Wizkid continues to receive attention, and the song is expected to make waves in the Afrobeats scene. It also reflects Ayra’s ability to blend her artistry with bold expressions of independence and confidence.
Hopefully my mom never listens to my second verse 🙏🏾
