“I knew who I was at a very young age,” she wrote alongside the now-deleted video.
In the short clip, a young Ayra could be seen expressing herself confidently, something many fans say mirrors the bold personality she carries today as one of Afrobeats’ rising stars.

The singer first gained public attention in 2019 after posting song covers on social media. Her talent eventually caught the attention of Mavin Records, which later signed her.
In 2021, Ayra Starr released her self-titled debut extended play, followed by her debut album “19 & Dangerous.”
