Nigerian singer, Ayra Starr has named her greatest Afrobeats artistes of all time, otherwise called “Afrobeats Big 3.”
In a recent interview with Hot 97 FM, Starr picked Tiwa Savage, Wizkid, and Rema as the greatest Afrobeats artists of all time.
The usual suspects, Davido and Burna Boy, who are often tipped along with Wizkid as the Afrobeats Big 3, were conspicuously snubbed by Ayra Starr.
“My Afrobeats Big 3 would be Tiwa Savage, Wizkid and Rema. My solid Big 3,” she said.
Meanwhile, Ayra Starr has revealed why she relocated from Nigeria to New York, disclosing that her friends and cultural proximity influenced her decision.
“I spent the last two summers in New York, and last summer I lived in Hell’s Kitchen for about three months with my friends. We were watching American shows and movies. It was fun.
“Also, growing up, I had always wanted to come to America. So, which city would I want to go to? LA is too far; the time difference with Nigeria is nine hours. So, I chose New York,” she explained in an interview with Angela Yee.
