Ayra Starr speaks on rivalry between Asake, Seyi Vibez

Fast rising Nigerian singer, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, known professionally as Ayra Starr, has opened up on the rivalry between her colleagues, Asake and Seyi Vibez.

According to her, she is not aware of the ‘rivalry’ between the singers.

Over time, fans of Asake and Seyi Vibez have always argued on who is better between the duo, though they haven’t had any public spat.

In a recent interview with The Beat FM Lagos, Ayra Starr was asked whether her decision to work with both men on her sophomore album, ‘The Year I Turned 21,’ was intentional because of their rivalry. 

According to her, she decided to work with them because she loves their sonic prowess.

She said: “I didn’t put Asake and Seyi Vibez on my album because of their rivalry. I didn’t know about the rivalry between Asake and Seyi Vibez. I just love both of them as artists.

“I’m really big on sonics; what would sound good sonically. My team is always thinking of the business side but I’m just thinking of who would be sonically compatible with me. And I’ve been listening to Seyi Vibez’s ‘Different Pattern’ for a very long time. 

“So I decided to work with him. When I sent the record to him, he sent his verse almost immediately. They were very quick with it. Asake, too, he sent me his verse in three days.”
