Ayra Starr carpets online troll

Legit.ng recalled that Ayra Starr found herself in the middle of online controversy after an American woman accused her of being tied to satanic dealings because of her recent Roc Nation deal.

The Rush crooner had posted playful photos on her X handle, joking about not knowing how to act now that her br8asts were getting bigger.

While fans laughed along and dropped compliments, one American lady claimed that Ayra’s confidence was linked to “dancing with the devil.”

Ayra Starr, however, was not having any of the American woman’s claims. The 22-year-old superstar, popularly known as “Sabi Girl,” wasted no time in replying: “Back to sender babyyyy.”
