Lagos: Nigerian singer and Grammy Award nominee Sarah Aderibigbe, known by her stage name Ayra Starr, is facing intense backlash following the online circulation of a video in which she inadvertently exposed herself.
According to Ghana Web, the incident occurred during a live stream where Ayra Starr, who often sports skimpy dresses, accidentally parted her legs while facing the camera, revealing her undergarments to her audience. The music star quickly realized the mishap, adjusted her position, and deleted the clip from her online collage. However, the video had already been reshared by a blogger, sparking criticism from fans.
Fans expressed disapproval towards the blogger for recirculating the clip, arguing that Ayra Starr had already taken it down, and further distribution was unnecessary. Critics also highlighted that the singer initially uploaded the video herself, suggesting she should exercise more caution with her online content. Despite the backlash, some individuals admitted to re-watching the clip to verify the accidental exposure.
Ayra Starr has previously been in the spotlight for her choice of attire, often opting for short and revealing outfits. She has faced criticism for performing in minimal clothing, such as a bra and trousers, and many of her music videos feature similar styles. However, in a recent contrast, a video shared by the singer showed her wearing a long gown alongside her sister, which surprised many of her fans and prompted verification of the clip's authenticity.
