Afrobeats star Ayra Starr has set social media abuzz after sharing a humorous yet thought-provoking video of herself reading the Bible during a personal study session.
In the clip, which has since gone viral, the “Rush” singer delved into the book of Ecclesiastes, candidly expressing her mixed feelings about its message. Referring to the writings of King Solomon, Ayra jokingly questioned the shift in the scripture’s tone — from encouraging wisdom to describing life as “meaningless.”
As she read Ecclesiastes 3:19, which compares the fate of humans and animals, the Mavin Records artist humorously asked:
“So if we’re all being judged, is there going to be a cow behind me in the judgment line?”
Her lighthearted take sparked a flood of reactions online, with many fans amused by her frank approach, while others praised her curiosity and willingness to question biblical texts openly.
Some users praised the 21-year-old singer for making scripture relatable to a younger audience, while others shared their own interpretations of the verse.
Ayra Starr, known for her hit singles like “Sability” and “Bloody Samaritan”, has often spoken about her faith and upbringing. This latest video further cemented her image as an artist unafraid to blend pop culture with personal belief in a refreshing, relatable way.
The post continues to trend across X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, with fans using the moment to reflect on life, spirituality, and humor in religion.
