Nigerian singer and songwriter, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, professionally known as Ayra Starr, has stated that she was delighted on being featured on former United States president Barack Obama’s playlist.
Recollect that the singer’s song ‘Rush’ was among the 25 songs on Obama’s 2022 end-of-year music playlist.
During a recent interview with NME, the singer disclosed that she is thrilled on making the playlist and said that she had prayed she would make President Obama’s playlist someday.
Ayra said:
“The funny thing about that is that, the morning before the list came out. I was in the shower and I was like, I really would really like to be on Barack Obama’s list for next year.
“I just thought about it, I didn’t know it was coming out. And I prayed, and I was like, ‘God, please just do this one for me. Please.’
“And somebody tagged me, like somebody sent the post to me and it wasn’t loading so I couldn’t really see, but I was like, this is Obama. I was like, why are people sending me Obama’s posts? I couldn’t see the picture. I was like, it is, it is! And I saw it and I was so excited.”
