Two-time Grammy nominee Ayra Starr has expressed her strong desire to collaborate with Burna Boy, naming him as her top choice for a future project. This revelation came during a Billboard interview where she discussed her recent Grammy nominations, including one for Best African Music Performance for her collaboration with Wizkid on "Gimme Dat."
During the interview, Ayra Starr shared her excitement about the nominations, describing them as a moment of reassurance in her career. She also reflected on the inspiration behind "Gimme Dat," revealing that she discovered the song's sample of Wyclef Jean and Mary J. Blige's "911" during the recording process. Additionally, she discussed the initial struggles she faced with her voice while recording the track and how the song was originally intended to be her solo single before Wizkid joined the project.
Looking ahead, Ayra Starr is working on new music and a book, as she believes it's "Africa's time music-wise," with the world increasingly recognizing African music.
