Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has openly expressed her admiration for fellow artist Ayra Starr, emphasizing her support for Starr’s bold fashion choices.
In a recent interview with Kiss FM in the UK, Savage revealed that she is “obsessed” with the young Afrobeats sensation, praising her talent and authenticity.
Savage addressed the criticism Ayra Starr has faced for her short skirts, encouraging the rising star to embrace her style even more.
“I love Ayra [Starr]. I’m obsessed with her. She’s amazing and genuine, too,” Savage stated. Reflecting on her own experiences, she added, “It makes me emotional because when I started, I got criticized a lot for dressing too sexy and my lyrics being too risky.”
Having faced similar backlash for her fashion choices early in her career, Savage stood firmly in support of Starr.
She suggested that the young singer should make her skirts even shorter, dismissing the critics’ disapproval. “So, seeing someone, Ayra now… If I see her wearing the short skirts as they [critics] say, I’m like, ‘Make it shorter,'” Savage remarked.
Despite the scrutiny, Ayra Starr continues to shine on the global music scene. Savage highlighted her resilience and exceptional talent, concluding, “And she looks amazing, she’s extremely talented. Yeah, she’s a star.”
