Ayra Starr Reveals She Ran a Nicki Minaj Fan Page Before Fame
Before she became one of Afrobeats’ biggest rising stars, Ayra Starr was just another devoted Nicki Minaj superfan. During a recent appearance on the I Said What I Said (ISWIS) Podcast, the Rush hitmaker revealed that she once ran a Nicki Minaj fan page, dedicating her time to celebrating the rap queen’s success.
Ayra shared that she was a proud member of the Barbz, actively posting about Nicki, engaging with fellow fans, and drawing inspiration from her music and confidence. She credited the Pink Friday rapper as one of her biggest influences, shaping her taste in music and her fearless approach to artistry.
Fast forward to today, and Ayra Starr is no longer just a fan—she’s a global star in her own right. In 2024, she made history by becoming the first female artist in 16 years to win Best African Act at the MOBO Awards, proving that her rise to fame is nothing short of phenomenal.
Her journey from running a fan page to dominating international charts is proof that dreams really do come full circle. Who knows? A Nicki Minaj x Ayra Starr collab might just be on the way!
