Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has confirmed that she has relocated to New York City, marking a new phase in her life and career. She revealed that she moved less than two months ago and is already settling into the city’s rhythm. According to her, New York feels familiar because its energy and pace mirror the environment she grew up in.

Ayra Starr explained that the move goes beyond professional ambition. She noted that the city offers a sense of comfort, especially with the presence of a strong Nigerian and African community. This, she said, makes the transition smoother and helps her maintain a connection to home.

Despite the relocation, she made it clear that she remains rooted in Nigeria. She emphasized that her identity and music will continue to be shaped by her Lagos upbringing and the culture that influenced her early career. She also mentioned that although she initially had doubts about the move, performing on stage in New York helped her realize that the decision aligned with her long-term plans.

Ayra Starr is now focused on expanding her global presence while staying grounded in the artistic values that built her brand. For her, the relocation is a strategic step, not a departure from home, but an extension of her journey.
