Afrobeats artist Ayra Starr has stated that she is unaware of any rivalry between her colleagues Asake and Seyi Vibez.
Despite the lack of a public dispute between Asake and Seyi Vibez, tensions have been noticeable between their fanbases, particularly on social media.
During a recent interview with The Beat FM Lagos, Ayra Starr was questioned about her decision to collaborate with both artists on her sophomore album, ‘The Year I Turned 21,’ in light of the rumored rivalry.
She dismissed any knowledge of such rivalry and explained that she chose to work with them because she admires their musical talents.
Ayra Starr said, “I didn’t put Asake and Seyi Vibez on my album because of their rivalry. I didn’t know about the rivalry between Asake and Seyi Vibez. I just love both of them as artists.
“I’m really big on sonics; what would sound good sonically. My team is always thinking of the business side but I’m just thinking of who would be sonically compatible with me. And I’ve been listening to Seyi Vibez’s ‘Different Pattern’ for a very long time. So I decided to work with him. When I sent the record to him, he sent his verse almost immediately. They were very quick with it. Asake, too, he sent me his verse in three days.”
