Afrobeats star Ayra Starr said she would have been in her mother’s house and unemployed if her music career had not taken off.
The 24-year-old singer made this known during a recent conversation with EE72, while reflecting on her time with Mavin Records and life in the spotlight.
She said music changed the course of her life.
“If I were not doing music, I would literally be unemployed. I do not even think I would be a content creator. That would be a lot of work. I would just be vibing in my mother’s house, eating my mother’s food,” she said.
The singer also recalled how excited she was when she learned that Don Jazzy and the Mavin team had been listening to her music before she was signed.
“I was so excited when I found out they were listening to my music. You know who it is,” she said.
Ayra Starr also admitted that fame comes with challenges, revealing that she sometimes wishes the public knew less about her because she tends to speak freely in interviews.
“I really wish people knew less about me. Once the camera comes on, I cannot stop talking. And I feel like I overshare,” she added.
