Ayra Starr fires back at trolls

Legit.ng earlier reported that Ayra Starr recently addressed 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.

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.
