In a previous headline, Ayra Starr had slammed guys who have been giving her backlash over her latest performance.
In response to the comments and criticisms she received over her outfit to a performance, Ayra addressed the issue without mincing words as she branded those criticizing her outfit as “useless men” and accused them of being clout chasers. The situation escalated further when she made a bold declaration, asserting that everything she does is primarily for her female audience.
Back in September, she declined to accept an award during the Headies award ceremony. Ayra Starr had been recognized as the best female artist, but her award was not announced on stage; instead, it was presented to her backstage. In response, she publicly refused to accept the award, stating that she would not show gratitude for an honor that was not deemed worthy of being announced on the main stage. Ayra Starr highlighted the disparity between her treatment and that of male artists, who received on-stage recognition.
