In a recent interview with Kiss FM, Ayra Starr boldly responded to her critics, urging them to keep their opinions to themselves as they are neither her pastor nor her mother. The 'Rush' singer made it clear that she is confident in her fashion choices and unapologetically embraces her own unique style.
In her words, "You are not my pastor, you are not Jesus, you are not my mother, so keep it to yourself. I don’t wanna know. I don’t give a damn."

Last year, the singer criticised for wearing a provocative dress to the Meta concert, which was held in Lagos last night, November 24, 2022.
The female singer, who was one of the performers of the night, wore a short skirt, a small, revealing top, and her signature high boots. The outfit has sparked outrage on social media, with many complaining it barely covered her body.
