“I didn’t date in high school because I didn’t want to be anybody’s ex,” she said.
For Ayra, it wasn’t just about avoiding heartbreak. She explained that she was wary of the intentions of those who showed interest in her at the time.
“I’m such a baddie… a lot of guys were trying, and I was like, why are you trying? That means you must have an ulterior motive,” she added.
While she may have kept her distance in her teenage years, Ayra Starr also revealed that she has experienced love.
The singer disclosed that one of her recent songs, “Where Do We Go,” was inspired by a relationship she kept completely private.
“It was a very secret relationship… nobody knew what was going on — only us,” she shared.
According to her, even her close friends had concerns and advised her to walk away. But she chose to follow her heart.
“My friends were telling me to wrap it up, but I was like, ‘No, I love him’.”
The revelation adds emotional depth to her music, giving fans a new way to connect with the story behind the lyrics.
Ayra Starr also shared her thoughts on what truly matters in a partner.
While she acknowledged that everyone has preferences, she made it clear that physical appearance is not a priority for her.
“You can be fine and not have sense. It is the truth,” she said.
