The electrifying revelation unfolded at a recent Fenty event, where the two luminaries crossed paths on the black carpet, setting the stage for a potential musical alliance.
Rihanna’s intrigue in Ayra Starr’s musical prowess was ignited by familial bonds. “My cousin from Barbados was the one who introduced me to her music.

This exchange occurred shortly after Starr professed her deep affection for the Caribbean island, citing it as her “favorite place in the world.”
Ayra Starr, unreserved in her admiration for Rihanna, has often cited the Barbadian icon as a paramount source of inspiration. In a candid interview with Rolling Stone, Starr shared insights into Rihanna’s advice, emphasizing the importance of authenticity. “Rihanna always advises to stay true to oneself and that what works for one person might not work for another, and thatโs perfectly fine,” Starr revealed.
