Nigerian music star Ayra Starr has revealed that the most extreme thing she’s ever done for love was deliberately missing a flight and turning off her phone just to stay in the moment.

The 22-year-old Mavin Records artist made the comment during a recent conversation about relationships and personal choices. She described the decision as intentional, saying she wanted to fully experience the moment without distractions or travel pressure.

Born Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, the singer has often described herself as a “lover girl” in her music but has been open about her limited real-life dating experience. In a 2024 interview, she said she had “never been in a fully committed relationship,” despite public perception.

Ayra Starr is known for keeping her private life guarded. She’s previously spoken about the lack of privacy that comes with fame, recalling an airport incident where a staff member insisted on a selfie during a bag check.

Her songs, including Lagos Love Story and Lost in Your Love, explore romance and emotional vulnerability, themes she says are drawn from observation and “situations” rather than long-term relationships.

The Grammy-nominated artist is currently one of Afrobeats’ most streamed female acts, known for blending Afro-R&B with pop and soul influences.

While Ayra Starr didn’t reveal when the incident happened or who was involved, the story adds to her candid reputation when discussing love and personal freedom.
