Nigerian singer and Mavin Records signee, Ayra Starr has revealed the meaning of one of her catchphrases ‘sabi girl’, saying it requires sense to be a Sabi Girl.
The sability crooner made this revelation when she recently appeared as a guest on MTV’s Touching Base segment.
Ayra Star, when asked about the essence of being a ‘sabi girl,’ a phrase she has popularised, explained that, “To be a sabi girl is to be confident, kind, and smart. You have to have sense.”
Reflecting on the challenges of fame, Ayra Starr shared a recent encounter at the airport that highlighted the lack of privacy celebrities often face.
“My first reality check when I became famous was realising that there is no privacy, even when you want it to be private,”
“Something happened the other day, I was at the airport and they stopped me to check my bag and as they were checking one of the people there was like, ‘Can I take a selfie?’, and I looked at him with so much disappointment. I was like ‘Really? Sorry I just woke up’ and he was like ‘It doesn’t matter’ and I was like ‘please please please ‘ and he said ‘Why are you shouting Ayra Starr?'”
The serial hitmaker also opened up about what makes her 21st year so special to her.
“The year I turned 21 was the year that I accepted that I’m just going to be me and I’m going to be audacious and I’m going to be that girl,” Ayra Starr responded.
The Bloody Samaritan was also asked some quick questions about things she would rather do.
