• Mavin star, Ayra Starr, finally breaks her silence, slams trolls who constantly drag and attack her online
• The singer in an outburst on X says she's tired of being misunderstood and made a scapegoat by critics
• Mixed reactions trail her post as fans defend her while others demand she uses her platform better

Mavin Records princess, Ayra Starr, has taken to social media to address the relentless trolling and bullying she's been facing from online critics.

In a fiery post shared on her X (formerly Twitter) page on Monday, June 16, the Sability crooner didn’t mince words as she called out those who constantly drag her for everything she says or does.

Ayra fired back:

“There’s nothing I can do nor say to people that intentionally want to bully and misunderstand me every time. You’ve found a scapegoat abi? Focus on issues that actually matter and leave me TF alone”

Although she didn't mention a specific incident, many believe her post was triggered by the backlash she received for staying silent during recent national crises, including the tragic killings in Benue State.

Some Nigerians had accused her and other Gen Z celebrities of not using their platforms to speak out on issues affecting citizens.
