Nigerian Grammy-nominated singer Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigwe, widely recognized as Ayra Starr, has ignited a wave of reactions online following her appearance at the prestigious Crop Over Carnival in Barbados.
Ayra was invited to partake in the festivities by none other than Barbadian-born global icon Rihanna.
The singer’s choice of outfit for the carnival, however, quickly became the focal point of discussion among fans and critics alike.
Ayra’s ensemble was notably bold and steamy, characterized by its minimal coverage, which left her private areas barely concealed.
When the singer performed a 360-degree turn during the event, it revealed her figure in its entirety, prompting a flurry of responses from social media users who were taken aback by her daring attire.
As the clips from the festival circulated on various platforms, Nigerian music producer and entrepreneur Don Jazzy shared a video of Ayra’s exhilarating performance, which only added fuel to the fire of public debate.
While some fans celebrated her free-spirited expression and vibrant presence, a significant portion of the audience expressed discontent with her choice of clothing, leading to a backlash against both Ayra and Don Jazzy for his post.
Critics took to social media to voice their opinions, labeling the outfit as inappropriate and questioning the message it sends, particularly in the context of Nigerian cultural values.
Supporters argue that artists should feel liberated to express themselves through their fashion choices, particularly in an environment like a carnival, where flamboyance and creativity take center stage.
