In response to the controversy surrounding her alleged disrespect to Juju music legend Sunny Ade at a recent event, Ayra Starr has publicly issued a sincere apology.
The 21-year-old singer, known for her Afrobeat prowess, clarified the situation, explaining that her initial greeting oversight was unintentional and attributed it to being momentarily overwhelmed upon entering the venue.
Ayra Starr acknowledged the cultural expectations, expressing regret for any offense caused. In her statement, she explained, “I’m so sorry, I had just walked in, and all the lights and nerves didn’t let me see, but I came back around to greet everyone properly. I have never been that girl to be disrespectful. I’m a proper Yoruba girl, and the video didn’t start until after I’d greeted Burna’s mom! I’m very sorry to the legend, uncle, and King Sunny Ade.”
