Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Ayra Starr has fired back at critics who slammed her latest sultry outfit, boldly declaring that she has worn much more revealing clothes in the past and plans to wear even bolder looks in the future.
The “Rush” singer shared glamorous photos of herself in a daring outfit paired with a striking headpiece. While many fans praised her confidence and style, a significant number of social media users condemned the look as too revealing and indecent.
In a no-holds-barred response, Ayra Starr told her critics to relax, writing:
“Y’all relax in the comments, I’ve worn way worse, and I’m going to wear way worse, so manage your yarns.”
Her unapologetic stance has further divided opinions online, with some applauding her for owning her style while others expressed disappointment in what they see as a disregard for cultural and moral standards.
Several netizens voiced their disapproval in the comments:
• One user wrote,
“Your problem girl.”
• Another commented,
“She wore it intentionally to get people talking, and she’s achieved that.”
• Another remarked,
“She should do whatever pleases her, nobody pays her bills”
Ayra Starr has built a reputation for pushing fashion boundaries with mini skirts, crop tops, and body-hugging outfits. Despite consistent criticism over the years, the young star has remained consistent in expressing herself through her clothing choices, often citing personal freedom and confidence.
This latest episode adds to ongoing conversations about celebrity fashion, body autonomy, and the expectations placed on female artistes in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
