Ayra Starr Apologises After Being Dragged For Disrespecting Sunny Ade

Popular Nigerian artiste, aka Ayra Starr (real name, Oyinkansola Aderibigbe), has apologised after she was dragged by social media users for disrespecting Juju music icon, King Sunny Ade.

As seen in a viral video online, Starr was seen shaking hands with KSA while remaining on her feet – a posture considered disrespectful in the Yoruba culture. This attracted the ire of many who took to their Social Media accounts to condemns the 21-year-old star’s disrespect for the 77-year-old juju icon.

Realising her error, Starr took to her X handle early Saturday to apologise to the music icon.

With tearful emojis, her tweet read, “I’m so sorry, I had just walked in and all the lights and nerves didn’t let me see but I came back around to greet everyone properly, I have never been that girl to be disrespectful, I’m a proper Yoruba girl and the video didn’t start until after I’d greeted burna’s mom! I’m very sorry to the legend, uncle and King Sunny Ade.”
