Popular Afrobeat star Ayra Starr is facing heavy criticism over her recent post, which many have deemed insensitive given the ongoing controversy surrounding a Lagos corps member.

The singer took to X to share two stylish photos of herself in a black gown, expecting admiration from fans.

However, the post was met with backlash, as many accused her of ignoring pressing national issues, particularly the ordeal of an NYSC member who recently called out President Bola Tinubu‘s government over inflation and the hardship faced by corps members.


The corps member’s viral video, in which she also ridiculed Lagos for its alleged bad odor, sparked outrage, with reports emerging that she was being threatened by NYSC officials. Amid this heated debate, Ayra Starr’s post was seen as tone-deaf, leading to online criticism.

Yes

gaslighting innocent people for not fanning the flames of rage against the govt is not a job. Get something real doing. I already suspected this was the handiwork of bitter-losers and was right. It took one of them here to expose that.

You, Sir why didn't you stay back from work or resign in solidarity.

WHAT dey are KNOWN for, AKPOTI.

So nobody should breathe again because of pressing National issues. National issues dey come and go everyday. Natasha, Wike and Fubara and Supreme Court are just but a few issues at the front burner. That would not stop me from eating the number of meals I can afford everyday

Only Gen Zeess with some CORNfused thinking will take this one serious...







This is no news!

Those calling her out are mad, what's her business with the nysc girl?

So we all should stop living our lives because someone is complaining

Some people are so stupid that they want us to stop everything we have been doing n focus on insulting the government cos it's not their own in charge

Must everyone put mouth in politics?

So what do the critics expect her to do? Kai! .

Is she in government?

Unintelligent people.

Hold your government accountable (especially at subnational level)

Tone deaf about national issues unlike celebs in obodo oyinbo where we are hiding our resources and even ourselves since we have no clue how to leverage on celebrity power to pressure our public servants into greater accountability.

Any idea why we still blame the same oyinbos for underdeveloping Africa?

Neo-black Problem: Must Blacks Be Ruled by Whites in Order to Prosper?

In short, the neo-black dilemma may be framed as follows: is it better to live under white rule without political dignity but with basic life-sustaining standards for many;

or to live under black rule with illusory political dignity and without basic life- sustaining standards for the majority?

The path forward for Africa lies in cultivating higher and adequate levels of personal and communal agential integrity as well as full personal responsibility and productivity. Not to mention creativity (including epistemic creativity), productive justice (such as merit and freedom), harmony and reconciliation at local and international levels, and a proper domestication of capitalism and other related values and institutions.

Africa must stop wasting her time on dreams of socialism because it is a system of wealth distribution primarily. Whereas, capitalism is a system of wealth creation primarily, and wealth has to be produced before it can be distributed.

Anger everywhere, sneezing can induce fight now because of the aura of fear and anger.

Jealous people from the land of erosion that have never produced any female with half of Ayra’s achievements in music will always attack her for no reason

It’s not longer politics but they have an agenda

Yes Lagos is smelling but then they are the ones we keep seeing in videos throwing waste around indiscriminately like they do in their towns which have been reputed to be Nigeria’s worst in terms of pollution

Nigeria youths!
Tossed to and Fro.

since Igbos don't like the president, so anytime any Igbo criticizes the government, we must all put our live on hold cos an Igbo is making noise

Abegi leave the girl alone

Wetin my babe do for una again


Make una leave my babe alone oo

Young Nigerians who expect their celebrities to "fight for them" are largely ignorant and naive. Do they expect someone who has danced with Sanwo to lambast Lagos? Sometimes, I wonder if I'm too old to understand these things.

BTW, the era of non-natives criticising where they don't come from has ended. If she were to be in the US, she will experience similar backlash.

Person post her market/advertisement with my favourite style una vex.

Oya if una no like it, me I love am

I like to hit from behind especially when the butt is moderate.

The moment they have Money to spend, they begin to look down on others

Is the hardship affecting Igbos alone

PrinceOfLagos:
Wasiu ayinde marshall K1 is an "Omo ale" for telling Tinubu that he's failed in his duties as president.

Even though it's obvious that president Tinubu has failed as president, should wasiu and other sane Yoruba person be the one to castigate the president?

Shame on wasiu .

Only fools follow Arya star on social media


There's only one Arya and she's a stark
