‘Commas’ singer, Ayra Starr, has revealed her deep love for Nigerian foods.
According to her, she eats them everywhere she goes because they make her happy.
Speaking with fellow singer Coco Jones, she said: “Sometimes I just want to eat my food, and sometimes I try to stay in serviced apartments whenever I can so that I can cook. I feel like that keeps me and centres me. So even if I’m tired from a shoe and it’s late, even if it’s 9, 10, or 11 p.m., cooking is relaxing for me.
“I also try to eat Nigerian food wherever I am because it keeps me happy. I be like, ‘I don’t want to eat burgers again. Are we eating burgers again?’ please.”
According to her, Nigerian food is more than just sustenance; it’s a source of comfort.
“One thing I’m going to do when I’m on the road is to make sure to have a TV show so I can disappear for three minutes to watch it; I’d watch it on my phone.”
