Popular singer Ayra Starr has released her much-anticipated single titled “Gimme Dat.” During a recent appearance on the eTalk show, she also spoke about her close friendship with Grammy-winning artist Wizkid.
Ayra described Wizkid as not just a music legend but also a friend who brings joy and encouragement into her life. She shared that their relationship is filled with laughter, fun moments, and mutual respect.
With a laugh, she added that Wizkid is “always sick” of her because she’s constantly trying to make him laugh.
“Wizkid is an amazing friend and an amazing person to be around. I could learn so much from him. He’s hilarious and we have the same humour, so he’s always sick of me because I try to make him laugh or something,” she said.
Ayra Starr recalled how nervous she was the first time they met for a studio session. According to her, Wizkid’s legendary status initially made her feel intimidated, but their bond has since grown stronger with time.
“During my first session, I was panicking because it was Wizkid. But now we’ve done our music video together and I’m older. He’s always telling me how much I’ve grown,” she shared.
She added with a laugh, “He’s such an amazing artist, and having such an icon working with me shows how much of an amazing artist I am… I had to sneak that in.”
The two stars recently collaborated on the song “Gimme Dat,” which has been well-received by fans and further cemented their artistic chemistry.
