Ayra Starr Claims She Won’t Date a Musician, Not Even in Her Dreams

Nigerian singer Ayra Starr, an award-winning artist, has shared that she has yet to experience a fully committed relationship. She indicated that when she does begin dating, her partner will not be from the music industry.

In a conversation with American singer Coco Jones for Rolling Stone, Coco inquired whether Ayra would consider dating someone within the industry. “In the dream world, it wouldn’t be somebody that is in the industry. Probably just like a billionaire. On a yacht. In Dubai. In a thong,” Ayra responded with laughter, referencing a popular social media trend that emphasizes a stress-free, easygoing lifestyle.

Regarding her dating preferences, according to Pulse.NG, the Rush singer mentioned that she has established very high standards for her relationships. “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.”

In a recent interview with Dazed Magazine in September 2024, she conveyed her desire for a meaningful connection.

“I want to fall in love. I wrote ‘Lagos Love Story’ about what love would look like if I was,” Ayra Starr shared. While she described herself as a lover girl deep in her heart, she also confessed that she is very single.

Ayra Starr clarified that she has never been in a fully committed relationship. “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.”
