Afrobeats star Ayra Starr has confirmed her move from Nigeria to New York City.

The singer revealed the news during her most recent Hot 93.7FM interview with Buck N Regg.

While disclosing that her spirit has always belonged to New York, the 23-year-old artist stated that she relocated there permanently a few weeks ago.

“I live in New York now, I officially moved in less than two months ago. I’m always in New York regardless, it reminds me so much of Lagos. There are many Nigerians here, so it feels like home.

“I was skeptical about moving here even around that time I remember just being on stage and feeling I might move here. It feels like a moment of sunder, and I was like I really like it here.

“I know why I am here. I know my priorities. And I’m here for a good time.
