Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr has shut down viral speculation suggesting her contract with Roc Nation restricts her from starting a family during her five-year deal with the label.
The rumours, which gained traction on social media, claimed that the Nigerian singer was barred from having a boyfriend, getting married, or becoming a mother while under Jay-Z’s management imprint.
The bizarre claim sparked debate among fans and industry watchers.
However, the fast-rising singer subtly debunked the rumour with a sarcastic response on social media.
Reacting to a podcast where the issue was being discussed, she tweeted, “Does Ayra Starr know about this?”
Her response made it clear she was unaware of any such restriction, implying the so-called clause was entirely fabricated.
Ayra Starr, who joined Roc Nation as part of efforts to globalise Afrobeats, has made headlines for her music and bold style—not for contractual controversies.
Her deal with the American label has been widely viewed as a significant milestone for African artists, especially women in the genre.
