Ayra Starr Shares Her Struggles Settling Into New York

Ayra Starr’s move to New York has come with more than new opportunities.

Weeks after leaving Lagos for the American city following her Roc Nation management deal, the Afrobeats star is opening up about the tougher side of starting over abroad.

Life in New York, according to her, feels quiet, cold, and far from the comfort she once knew.

The singer revealed that her new apartment feels bare and unfamiliar, adding to a sense of isolation.

The city itself has been difficult to adjust to, with the weather playing a major role in her low moments.

Ayra admitted that there are times she questions her decision to relocate.

While friends and fans back home enjoyed Detty December, she remained in New York, dealing with solitude and the weight of a risky career move.

She described the move as a rebellious step that came with emotional consequences.

Being far from Nigeria has pushed her into a phase where she feels misunderstood and disconnected.

Despite the doubts, Ayra says she has reached a point where proving herself no longer matters.

As she settles into this new chapter, the singer appears focused on self growth, even as she navigates loneliness far from home.
