Ayra Starr also shared the downsides of fame, revealing a recent encounter at the airport.

 
Nigerian pop star Ayra Starr has explained to her fans what a “sabi girl” is all about.
 
She spoke during an interview on MTV’s “Touching Base.”
 
Ayra Starr opened up about her life in the spotlight, her latest album “The Year I Turned 21” and the inspiration behind her music.
 
When asked about the essence of being a “sabi girl”, Ayra Starr defined it as embodying confidence, kindness, and intelligence. 
 
She said: “To be a sabi girl is to be confident, kind, and smart. You have to have sense.”
 
However, Ayra Starr also shared the downsides of fame, revealing a recent encounter at the airport where she was asked for a selfie while her bag was being checked. 

“My first reality check when I became famous was realising that there is no privacy, even when you want it to be private.
 
She added: “Something happened the other day, I was at the airport and they stopped me to check my bag and as they were checking one of the people there was like, ‘Can I take a selfie?’, and I looked at him with so much disappointment. I was like ‘Really? Sorry I just woke up’ and he was like ‘It doesn’t matter’ and I was like ‘please please please ‘ and he said ‘Why are you shouting Ayra Starr?'”
 
Despite the challenges, Ayra Starr said her 21st year has been a game-changer.

“The year I turned 21 was the year that I accepted that I’m just going to be me and I’m going to be audacious and I’m going to be that girl,” Ayra Starr said.
