Afrobeats singer, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, also known as Ayra Starr has revealed why she prefers Ghanaian jollof rice over the Nigerian version.
There has been years-long rivalry on social media over which country serves the best jollof rice, with Nigerian and Ghanaian users often taking sides.
In a recent game of 21 questions on BET Amplified, the ‘Bad Vibes’ hitmaker said she enjoys Ghanaian jollof rice, citing the garnishing as the reason for her choice.
The 21-year-old music star also explained the differences between the two countries’ jollof rice traditions.
When asked which country’s jollof rice she enjoys more, Ayra Starr said:
Ayra Starr who recently dropped her album ‘The Year I Turned 21’, became a viral sensation after releasing her hit track ‘Bloody Samaritan’ in 2021.
The same year she released her debut studio album “19 and Dangerous” and it included her other chart-topping songs “Away,” “Rush” and “Bloody Samaritan,” which she later remixed with American singer, Kelly Rowland.
With numerous awards and accolades, Starr has become one of the continent’s fastest-rising artistes.
Ayra Starr was among the Nigerian music stars nominated for this year’s Grammy Awards.
“Rush” earned her a first Grammy nomination in the Best African Music Performance category, making her the youngest Nigerian female artiste to be nominated for a Grammy Award in that category.
The music star, however, lost to Tyla, a South African singer.
