Ayra Starr, a Nigerian artist, has been dragged online for allegedly shaking famed Fuji musician King Sunny Ade, among other important dignitaries.
The footage was published on Twitter by user @gemyoruba, who called her out for her conduct.
In the video, she could be seen getting introduced to the men who were seated close to Burna Boy’s mother.
Based on the Yoruba culture and owing to their honorary status, she was supposed to kneel while greeting.
However, the young artiste stood and shook their hands in the form of greetings.
This enraged so many Netizens who believed she was disrespectful and not a true daughter of the soil.

ayurexars stated: “She Dey shake KSA , that man might be older than her father.”
smoke253 noted: “KSA was even more respectful than @ayrastarr in this video which to me is a shame to these GenZ children 👧👧👧.”
Capolutiti reacted: “Whether she knows it’s KSA sitting or not, she’s mannerless. This Africa not Obodo Oyinbo land. No need to to white wash it.”
