• “I live with my family, I ask their opinions on what I wear” – Ayra Starr

Afrobeats star Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, known as Ayra Starr, reflected on how her family keeps her grounded amid her rising fame.

In an interview with Coco Jones for ‘Rolling Stone’s Musicians on Musicians series, Ayra shared that when she’s back in Nigeria, she still enjoys the simple, vibrant family life at home.

“When I go back home [to Nigeria], I still live with my family. My brothers are making noise playing video games,” she said, highlighting the joyful, everyday moments she cherishes.

Ayra also spoke about how she relies on her friends for style advice, often consulting them through a group chat. “I still involve my friends in my life. We have a group chat where I solicit their opinions on what I wear. I thank God for my friends and family. Although, sometimes, it gets overwhelming, and I have to disappear,” she added, emphasizing the balance she finds between her public life and personal circle.
