Renowned Nigerian singer and songwriter, Aderibigbe Sarah Oyinkansola, popularly known as Ayra Starr, has made headlines following her absence from the recently announced 2025 Grammy Award nominations.
The Rush singer recently faced disappointment as the Grammy organizers unveiled their nominees for the upcoming event on February 5th. Despite submitting her latest album, The Year I Turned 21, for consideration in the Global Music Album category, nominations went to her fellow artists Tems and Rema.
Unfazed by the news, Ayra Starr was seen in a video embracing her Nigerian roots, enjoying a meal of hot Eba, a popular local delicacy made from cassava.
In the video, the singer playfully tossed pieces of food into the air, caught them, dipped them into the soup, and took a bite, clearly savoring each mouthful as she licked her lips afterward.
The clip quickly went viral, sparking reactions online. Many social media users shared their thoughts in the comments, with several praising Ayra Starr’s down-to-earth vibe.
