Nigerian singer Ayra Starr recently opened up about the lasting influence of her mother in an interview with Beat FM radio. Though Ayra Starr has achieved much success as an artist, releasing breakout hits like “Rush”, she still considers her mother’s perspective incredibly important.
According to Ayra Starr, her mother maintains a traditional African approach to parenting, despite living in modern times. She recounted a desire to purchase an expensive bag that was well within her financial means.
However, she knew her mother would disapprove of lavish spending. Her mother’s frugal values continue to shape Ayra Starr’s choices.
Ayra Starr also described her mother’s tendency to check in during late hours when Ayra Starr is busy with work commitments. Even while touring and performing late into the night, she says her mother will call at 2 AM to ensure she has returned home safely. The singer expresses appreciation for her mother’s unwavering concern and influence, proving mothers can remain a big part of their children’s lives regardless of fame or fortune.
