Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, popularly known as Ayra Starr, has disclosed the qualities she is looking for in a partner.

Speaking with media personality Diana Eneje, the singer explained that she does not care about looks.

She explained that she is more focused on intelligence than looks.

Ayra Starr stressed the importance of emotional intelligence in a partner, noting that she needs motivation in a relationship.

“I don’t ever have a physical type. I am just attracted to intelligent people. Just be very intelligent. That’s the Gemini in me speaking. Just be intelligent, motivate me, let me also motivate you. Let’s be motivating ourselves to make money. Looks don’t really matter,” she stated.

Meanwhile, Ayra Starr has revealed her choice of the greatest Afrobeats artists of all time, popularly referred to as the “Afrobeats Big 3.”

The ‘Rush’ crooner made the disclosure during a recent interview with Hot 97 FM, where she named Tiwa Savage, Wizkid and Rema as her top three Afrobeats stars.

Her selection has sparked conversations among fans and music enthusiasts, particularly because popular Afrobeats heavyweights Davido and Burna Boy were not included in her list.

The Afrobeats scene, Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy are commonly regarded by fans and critics as the genre’s “Big 3” due to their global influence and commercial success.

However, Ayra Starr’s list took a different direction, with the singer choosing Rema and Tiwa Savage alongside Wizkid.

“My Afrobeats Big 3 would be Tiwa Savage, Wizkid and Rema. My solid Big 3,” she said.

Her comments have since generated debate across social media, with fans discussing the evolving dynamics of Afrobeats and the influence of different generations of artists.
