I Better Not Get Any Mami Water Allegation – Ayra Starr Expresses Worry Over Her New Trend

Ayra Starr, the Nigerian singer, has voiced concern that her new ‘Hot Body’ trend on social media might trigger conspiracy theories about her.

The ‘Hot Body’ crooner said she hopes she doesn’t get accused of being demonic due to the unconventional nature of the trend.

“I better not get any mami water allegation because of this hot body video,” she shared via her X handle.

‘Hot Body’ is Ayra Starr’s first single since joining American mogul Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. She and her team created a trend for the song where young women dance and flaunt their “hot bodies” while it played on the background.

Ayra Starr has been accused of promoting nudity with the trend, with singer Jaywon recently questioning her fashion sense and asking if she doesn’t have parents to advise her.

 

In 2023, Ayra Starr’s label mate, Rema was caught in the web of conspiracy theories after he was accused of using “satanic/Illuminati” symbols while performing at his headline concert at London’s 02 Arena, on November 14, 2023.

Addressing the allegations via his X handle, Rema explained that the artificial horse he rode on stage with was a replica of a Benin artifact, and the mask he wore was a replica of the famous Queen Idia mask.

In an interview with Rolling Stone in March 2025, Rema also debunked allegations of “being part of the Illuminati, worshipping the devil, and drinking blood.”

Music Is Dictated By Women – British-Nigerian Singer, Darkoo Says

British-Nigerian singer Darkoo has asserted that women play a major role in driving the popularity of most songs and music genres.

The Favourite Girl hitmaker explained that a lot of songs garnered buzz because women like them and often influenced men into liking or playing songs they like.

Appearing in a recent episode of the Comfortably Speaking podcast, Darkoo used the rise of the South African genre, Amapiano, as an example of a genre popularised by women, claiming it gained attention after women started dancing to its beats on social media.

“The truth of the matter is music, the world in general, is dictated by women. You play Sexyy Red in your car, why?

“Because you go and pick up one girl, you want her to enter your Lamborghini, what are you going to play? Are you going to play trap, trap in a Brando?

“A lot of music you like is because women like it. And if you listen to certain genres of music, I feel like women got into Amapiano first when they were doing dance trends on social media.

“Back then, people were looking at them like they were being weird. But now, men are f*cking with Amapiano,” she explained.

La Liga: Rashford registration confirmed as Barcelona name star for opener

Barcelona have named Marcus Rashford in their matchday squad for Saturday’s La Liga opener against Mallorca, after registration confirmed.

Although the Manchester United loanee is still awaiting final registration clearance, Rashford’s paperwork are expected to be done before the kick-off of their game.

The Catalan club managed to register goalkeeper Joan Garcia on Friday, with head coach Hansi Flick remaining optimistic the England international will be cleared in time, with the forward badly needed in Robert Lewandowski’s absence.

Barcelona are relying on additional funds raised from the sale of a 50% sell-on clause for former player Francisco Trincao to finalise the process.

Alongside Rashford and Garcia, Flick has also included four La Masia graduates in the travelling squad – Jofre Torrents, Guillermo Fernandez, Dro and Toni Fernandez.

Man United drop Baleba pursuit, shift focus to Gyokeres vs Sesko clash

Manchester United have cooled their interest in Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, with club chiefs unwilling to meet the Seagulls’ hefty asking price.

This is after United had already spent over £200m on attacking reinforcements this summer.

Baleba, who is keen on a move to Old Trafford, will now have to wait at least another year as United turn their attention to bedding in new signing Benjamin Sesko.

The 21-year-old Slovenian striker, signed from RB Leipzig, is tipped by manager Ruben Amorim to become United’s long-term No.9.

With Rasmus Hojlund set for a loan switch to AC Milan and Mason Mount recently deployed as a false striker, Sesko could be thrust into action immediately despite limited preparation time.

Sunday’s clash against Arsenal will see Sesko face Viktor Gyokeres, the Swedish forward long linked with United before opting for the Gunners.

Gyokeres has already made his mark with a goal in pre-season and offers Arsenal a powerful target man option, while Sesko combines strength with greater mobility.

Gyokeres, 27, has scored over 100 goals in the past two seasons, whereas Sesko’s 39 strikes in the same period make him Europe’s most prolific player under 23.

The game at Old Trafford will now pit the two strikers head-to-head, to kick-off their clubs campaign.
