Ayra Starr, the Nigerian artist, has sparked diverse reactions after a clip of her enjoying Naira Marley’s new track “I’m Back” went viral.
In the video, she enthusiastically sings along and dances, emphasizing the term “Marlians,” which has prompted some Nigerians to criticize her actions.
This criticism is largely due to the controversy surrounding Naira Marley’s alleged connection to the death of his former artist, Mohbad, which has fueled a public outcry and demands for consequences against Marley.
Regardless of the backlash, Naira Marley’s song has found a considerable audience, and many followers, including Ayra Starr, express their enjoyment of it openly.
Ayra Starr’s video has created a divide, with some supporters backing her artistic freedom while others convey disappointment and suggest she should be criticized.
Additionally, she took the chance to promote her forthcoming single, “All the Love,” which is scheduled for release on February 11, 2025.
