Contrary to what many think about the Afrobeat lover girl, Ayra Starr, she has come out to state that she hasn’t experienced what being in love means all her life. In a recent interview with Dazed Magazine, Ayra Starr couldn’t help but cry out that she desperately wants to fall in love.
Her music has been used to woo so many African girls into falling in love, but the musician behind the music has remained painfully single and is itching to know what it feels like to fall in love.
Speaking wholeheartedly in an interview, the “Rush” crooner stated emphatically that, “I want to fall in love. I wrote ‘Lagos Love Story’ about what love would look like if I was.”
With a deep yearning modulating the tone of her voice, she continued, “I am a lover girl deep in my heart, I’m just very strong-headed about it. I actually have never been in love.”

One would think that with the caliber of people she’s exposed to as a global sensation, finding a perfect match would be easy as pie. Ironically, that’s not the case for her.
Explaining why she has a hard time finding love amid musical success, she explained, “I’ve put myself out there and I’ve tried to see what’s there but I don’t think I’ve had the time. I’ve been working since I was 15. I was modeling, I was doing university, and now I’m on the road.”
As a way of consoling herself and seeking closure, Ayra Starr concluded by saying, “It’s me just enjoying myself as a girl. I’m like, let me sing to a cute boy today and I’m looking around because I can – why not?”
