Nigerian singer Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, popularly known as Ayra Starr, has apologized to music icon Sunny Ade for reportedly “disrespecting” him during the Afrozons-Heineken Pre-Grammy party in Lagos.
In a viral video, the 21-year-old was seen welcoming Burna Boy’s mother, Bose Ogulu, and shaking hands with King Sunny Ade, which many people deemed “disrespectful and inappropriate.”.
This elicited a variety of reactions, with some Nigerians criticizing Ayra Starr for her disrespectful behavior.
Reacting to the now viral video, the ‘Rush’ crooner, on her verified X handle on Saturday, said, “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,” Ayra Starr added.
