Ayra Starr Opens Up About Her High Standards for Dating
Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr, whose real name is Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, has shared her thoughts on why she remains single at 22. In a candid interview with Coco Jones for Rolling Stone’s Musicians on Musicians issue, the young star revealed that her high standards for dating have made it challenging for potential suitors to meet her expectations.
According to Ayra Starr, she feels fortunate to have avoided the dating scene before rising to fame. She expressed gratitude for not knowing what she was missing, which, in turn, has led to her developing lofty standards for potential partners. "I’m so happy I wasn’t really dating before I started music," she said. "I didn’t really know what I was missing. So now that I waited this long to date people, I have very high standards."
Ayra Starr’s high expectations are non-negotiable, and she’s not afraid to walk away if they’re not met. "If it’s gonna be hard to meet it, it’s gonna be bye-bye," she stated. However, it’s not just about finding someone who meets her standards – the busy singer also struggles to find time for herself, let alone a romantic partner. "But also, I don’t have time for myself, talk less of a boy," she added.
Ayra Starr’s confession offers a glimpse into the life of a young celebrity navigating the challenges of fame, relationships, and personal growth. As she continues to make waves in the music industry, it’s clear that she’s prioritizing her own needs and aspirations above all else.
