Afrobeats star Ayra Starr has responded to swirling rumours about her new management deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, denying claims that the agreement places tight controls on her personal life and public image.
The 23-year-old recently signed a five-year management contract with the U.S.-based label, but speculation erupted after a viral podcast alleged that the deal came with extreme conditions. According to the now-trending clip, Ayra is supposedly restricted from dating, starting a family, or using social media without prior approval from Roc Nation. It also suggested that the label controls how she dresses and speaks publicly.
