Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, better known by her stage name Ayra Starr, is a Nigerian singer who has referred to American-Barbadian diva Rihanna as her “greatest inspiration.”
She claims that Rihanna’s “Anti” is the best album ever recorded.
Ayra Starr declared in an interview with Rolling Stone that Rihanna’s “Anti” is the album she could listen to nonstop. I adore Rihanna. My biggest inspiration is her. My matriarch is her. She reigns as my queen. Her “Anti” album is classic. I always listen to it. I’m understanding it more and more as I listen to it. I’m really fond of it.
“What I’ve heard from Rihanna is that I should be myself and know who I am; whatever works for me is okay, and if something doesn’t work for me, that’s okay too. I will simply be myself in every circumstance.
