The dream of a collaboration between Nigerian singer Ayra Starr and American pop star Rihanna may soon become a reality as the latter has expressed her desire to work with Ayra.
The music stars recently met at the Fenty X Puma party in London, where they both exchanged pleasantries.
Ayra Starr has been very vocal about her desire to work with Rihanna, whom she described as her role model.
But Rihanna surprised her at the Fenty event when she first made the move by revealing her intention to work with the 21-year-old.
Rihanna told Ayra Starr that her cousin in Barbados introduced her music to her after Ayra announced that the Caribbean island was her “favourite place in the world.”
The mother of two said, “I’ve been hearing of Ayra Starr, I don’t know who but my cousin she was like, ‘Oh my God I got this [song] from Ayra Starr.’ She was obsessed with you.”
She then asked, “Do you have a song with Tems?”
Ayra Starr replied, “That’s my sister. We do have songs but we don’t have a song [out] yet. But soon..”
“You got an extra verse for me? Call me,” Rihanna responded.
Ayra Starr also said that her meeting with Rihanna still feels like a dream.
The ‘Bloody Smarithan’ star said this in a post on her X account on Thursday with a video and picture of the duo.
“Rihanna x Ayra Starr! Still feels like a dream,” she wrote.
