Grammy-nominated singer Ayra Starr has revealed that cooking Nigerian meals is a vital part of her life, especially while touring.

In an intimate conversation with fellow singer Coco Jones, Ayra Starr emphasised the importance of home-cooked meals in keeping her happy and centered.

According to her, Nigerian food is more than just sustenance; it’s a source of comfort.

She said she prioritises eating Nigerian meals wherever she is, often opting for serviced apartments with kitchen facilities to cook her own meals.

She said: “Sometimes I just want to eat my food, and sometimes I try to stay in serviced apartments whenever I can so that I can cook. I feel like that keeps me and centres me. So even if I’m tired from a shoe and it’s late, even if it’s 9, 10, or 11 p.m., cooking is relaxing for me.

“I also try to eat Nigerian food wherever I am because it keeps me happy. I be like, ‘I don’t want to eat burgers again. Are we eating burgers again?’ please.”

Ayra Starr also shared other ways she unwinds on tour, including watching TV shows and seeking support from loved ones.

“One thing I’m going to do when I’m on the road is to make sure to have a TV show so I can disappear for three minutes to watch it; I’d watch it on my phone.”

Nigerian singer/songwriter, Ayra Starr has revealed that she has never been in love.

In a recent talk with Dazed Magazine the “Woman Commando” crooner revealed that she would actually love to experience it.

Despite being called a “lover girl,” Ayra Starr, who appeared on the cover of the most recent issue of the British leisure magazine, said that she had never been in a committed relationship.

“I want to fall in love. I wrote ‘Lagos Love Story’ about what love would look like if I was. I am a lover girl deep in my heart, I’m just very strong headed about it. I actually have never been in love. I have been in certain situations – not situationships! – but I have never been in a fully committed relationship.”

“I’ve put myself out there and I’ve tried to see what’s there but I don’t think I’ve had the time. I’ve been working since I was 15, I was modelling, I was doing university, and now I’m on the road.

“It’s me just enjoying myself as a girl. I’m like, let me sing to a cute boy today and I’m looking around because I can – why not?”

Popular singer, Ayra Starr has reacted to the tragic murder of FUNAAB female student, Idowu Christianah.

She stressed the need for change, stating that women deserve better treatment.
