Today, June 14, is our very own sabi girl, Ayra Starr’s 23rd birthday, and the Afrobeats community is celebrating! The “Rush” hitmaker, who is renowned for her strong vocals, Gen Z aesthetic, and unstoppable energy, is ringing in the new year with all the poise and confidence we have grown to love.
In just a few short years, Ayra Starr, who was born Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe in 2002, has transformed from a bright young talent into a worldwide superstar. The sabi girl has been on a winning streak, from her breakthrough hit “Bloody Samaritan” to international stages and Grammy nominations, and she doesn’t appear to be slowing down.
Birthday greetings, pictures, and relics of their favorite Ayra moments have been shared on social media by fans in Nigeria and beyond. While some want a surprise birthday drop, others simply want to watch her celebrate like the queen she is.
Ayra Starr continues to be that girl—young, talented, and proudly African—whether she’s inspiring us with her music, fashion, or just having a good time on TikTok.
