Nigerian singer Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, popularly known as Ayra Starr, has made it clear that she cannot envision dating a fellow musician, even in her dreams.
In an interview with Coco Jones for Rolling Stone's "Musicians on Musicians" issue, the 22-year-old artist expressed her preference for a partner outside the music industry.
When asked if she would consider dating someone within her field, Ayra Starr humorously replied, "In the dream world, it wouldn’t be somebody that is in the [music] industry. Probably just like a billionaire. On a yacht. In Dubai. In a thong [laughs]."
Ayra Starr's comments reflect her high standards for relationships, which she attributes to her decision to focus on her career before exploring romantic commitments.
She stated, "I'm so happy I wasn’t really dating before I started music. I didn’t really know what I was missing. So now that I waited this long to date people, I have very high standards. If it’s gonna be hard to meet it, it’s gonna be bye-bye. But also, I don’t have time for myself; talk less of a boy.”
Despite her longing for love, as she shared in a recent interview with Dazed Magazine, Ayra Starr remains single and has never been in a fully committed relationship. She candidly admitted, “I’m just very strong-headed about it. I actually have never been in love...I’ve been in certain situations—not situationships!—but I’ve never been in a fully committed relationship.”
