Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has stated that she is unaware of any rivalry between her colleagues, Asake and Seyi Vibez.
Although there has been no public altercation between the duo, however, tension has always existed between their fanbases, especially on social media.
The singer, in a recent interview with The Beat FM Lagos, was asked if her decision to collaborate with both artists on her sophomore album, ‘The Year I Turned 21,’ was influenced by their supposed rivalry.
She denied any knowledge of such a rivalry and explained that her decision to work with them was based on her appreciation for their musical talents.
“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,” she said.
