Young Star Credits Superstar’s Calm Confidence for Shaping Her Career Path
Rising Afrobeats star Ayra Starr has opened up about the profound influence fellow Nigerian icon Wizkid has had on her, describing him as a “living legend” whose quiet composure taught her a major life lesson: true confidence doesn’t need to shout.
During a recent interview at the Grammy Museum, the 23-year-old “Rush” singer reflected on her collaborations and friendship with the global superstar, revealing how his demeanor reshaped her own approach to fame and music.
“Wizkid is so cool, so calm, so relaxed,” Starr shared. “He showed me that confidence doesn’t have to be loud. He’s firmly grounded in his purpose.” She explained that observing him taught her that genuine self-assurance requires neither constant validation nor explanation—a philosophy she now carries into her own rapidly ascending career.
The professional synergy between the Mavin Records sensation and the Starboy leader has yielded what fans consider modern classics. Their first collaboration, “2 Sugar,” featured on Wizkid’s 2022 album More Love, Less Ego, and was followed by the smooth synergy of “Gimme Dat.”
Listeners often praise the natural, soulful blend of Starr’s crystalline vocals and Wizkid’s signature laid-back delivery, noting that their musical partnership feels effortless and timeless. For Ayra Starr, the greater gift has been the example of how to navigate stardom with grace and quiet certainty.
