The morning after her prayer, she was shocked to see that her name was on the list alongside Grammy award-winning singer Burna Boy and Rema.
Ayra Starr recalled that someone had tagged her in a post about Obama’s playlist, but it wasn’t loading, so she couldn’t see it.
When she finally saw the post, she was thrilled and excited. Afrobeat and Nigerian music have been gaining popularity worldwide, and Ayra Starr’s inclusion on Obama’s playlist is a testament to the genre’s growing influence.
