Ayra Starr reveals what she will do if she was President for a day
Afrobeat sensation Ayra Starr has sparked a contentious online debate about gender roles by sharing what she would do for women if she were to temporarily become president.
The singer, who is well-known for her vocal support of the feminist cause, discussed her goals in an interview that went viral on Thursday, March 7, 2024, after learning that her song Rush was on former US President Barack Obama’s playlist.
When asked what she would do if granted the presidency for a day, Ayra responded emphatically, stating, “If I was president for a day, I will make sure women don’t have to pay for anything. No woman has to pay for anything, everything free. All the bags, all the jewelry, food. Women and children won’t have to pay for anything.”
However, her statement prompted backlash from male fans, who voiced their disapproval in the comments area.
Ayra’s outspoken attitude on gender equality has ignited a heated debate, highlighting opposing viewpoints on women’s rights and entitlements throughout society. While some admire her dedication to promoting women’s empowerment, others have questioned the viability and repercussions of her planned measures.
As the discussion continues online, Ayra Starr’s open support for gender equality highlights the ongoing struggle for equal rights and opportunities for women in Nigeria and beyond.
