Cooking Nigerian foods relaxes me and keeps me centred – Ayra Starr

The singer, who has always been open about her love for Nigerian food, especially yam and egg, stressed that while on the road she prefers home-cooked meals. Speaking during an interactive sit down with fellow singer Coco Jones, the pair discussed their music, career progression, and even their preferred ways of unwinding after stressful days.

“One thing I’m going to do when I’m on the road is to make sure to have a TV show so I can disappear for three minutes to watch it; I’d watch it on my phone,” she said, emphasising the importance of finding small moments of relaxation.

She added, “I also try to eat Nigerian food wherever I am because it keeps me happy. I be like, ‘I don’t want to eat burgers again. Are we eating burgers again?’ please.”
