Afrobeats global phenomenon Ayra Starr has joined the expanding list of music singers venturing into Nigeria’s film industry, Nollywood.
The 22-year-old Grammy-nominated artist made her acting debut in Prime Video’s original ‘Christmas In Lagos’.
Teniola Aladese, Shalom C. Obiago, Rayxia Ojo, Shaffy Bello, and Adekunle Gold co-star in the romantic comedy.
It follows newly broken-hearted Fiyin (Aladese), who believes her closest friend, Elo (Obiago), is the love of her life.
The film was shot in Lagos and directed by Jadesola Osiberu.
“For me, Ayra Starr represents what it means to be young and female and daring and brave and fearless – just being yourself. She was on the list from day one,” Osiberu told Variety.
