Grammy-nominated Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, better known as Ayra Starr, has said she purposefully avoided dating while attending school to preserve her reputation.
The 23-year-old Mavin Records musician clarified that she stayed away from romances since she didn’t want to be called an ex-girlfriend.
Speaking in a recent interview with Quenlin Blackwell, Ayra Starr stated that she was constantly self-conscious and wary of the motives of anyone who contacted her.

She claimed that during high school, a lot of guys made an attempt to date her, but she doubted their intentions and was certain they had a hidden agenda.
“Because I didn’t want to be someone’s ex, I didn’t date in high school,” she remarked. “I knew a lot of guys were trying, and I was like, ‘Why are you trying? That means you must have an ulterior motive.’”
The singer also shared her current views on relationships, noting that she now values intelligence in a partner more than physical attractiveness.
