Ayra Starr stopped by HOT 97 to talk with Nessa about her new song “Where Do We Go.” She opened up about the real-life inspiration behind the track and the complicated situations that can come from “sneaky link” relationships. Ayra also talked about recently moving to New York, what the cold winter was like for her at first, and why she decided to make the city her home after performing at HOT 97 ‘s Summer Jam. Nessa also rage baited her by asking her about her upcoming album and shared how she’s approaching the creative process differently this time around.
During the conversation, Ayra reflected on her upbringing in Nigeria and Benin, the role her mother has played in pushing her toward music, and the lessons she’s learned navigating the music industry. She also spoke about the artists influencing her sound right now, touring with Coldplay, and what that experience taught her about performing. Ayra even shared stories about manifesting a collaboration with Rihanna, how she reacted when Kim Kardashian used one of her songs, her afrobeat Big 3, her love for Tiwa Savage and Tems and her experience stepping into acting in Children of Blood and Bone. Plus, Nessa put Ayra to the test with a fun “Where Do We Go?” dating scenario game that quickly became one of the most viral moments from the interview.
