Ayra Starr Relocates to New York Ahead of Global Rise
Nigerian Afropop star Ayra Starr is officially settling in New York City.
In a recent interview, she revealed she has lived in the city for less than two months and confirmed with a smile that she now calls it home.
The move feels natural for Ayra. She has spent time in New York before and has always felt like a New Yorker at heart. She says the city reminds her of Lagos, with its fast pace, vibrant energy, and rich cultural rhythm.
Ayra has also found support in the city’s strong African and Nigerian community, which has helped her feel grounded and inspired.
The relocation is also a key step in her career. She recently signed with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, a partnership aimed at expanding her global reach.
Her New York base also connects to her performance at the 2025 Global Citizen Festival in Central Park, where she shared the stage with international stars like Shakira and The Weeknd.
This move marks a bold new chapter for Ayra Starr. She is not just performing on the world stage: she is making one of the world’s biggest cities her base.
