Ayra Starr issues an apology for showing disrespect to King Sunny Ade during an event.

Renowned Nigerian musician Ayra Starr has issued a public apology to the iconic musician, King Sunny Ade, for her disrespectful behavior at a recent event.

Ayra Starr faced strong criticism from Nigerians on social media after a video showed her apparently neglecting Burna Boy’s mother while greeting a woman seated next to her, and then proceeding to greet King Sunny Ade with a handshake.

In response to the condemnation, Ayra Starr took to her official platform to express her regrets and offer a public apology, providing an explanation for her actions.

“I’m so sorry, I had just walked in and all the lights and nerves did not let me see but I came back to greet everyone properly. I have never been that girl to be disrespectful, I’m a proper Yoruba girl and the video didn’t start until after I had greeted Burna’s mom! I’m very sorry to the legend, uncle and King Sunny Ade.”
