AYRA STARR SAYS SHE WON’T DATE A MUSICIAN, EVEN IN HER DREAMS

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Ayra Starr opened up about her views on dating, sharing both humorous and serious insights. When asked whether she would date someone in the entertainment industry, she chuckled and replied, “In the dream world, it wouldn’t be somebody that is in the industry. Probably just like a billionaire. On a yacht. In Dubai. In a thong.” Her playful response alluded to a viral social media trend about living a carefree, luxurious lifestyle, highlighting her desire for a stress-free romantic life.

As the conversation turned to her dating standards, the “Rush” singer was candid about the high expectations she has developed over time. “I’m so happy I wasn’t really dating before I started music,” she explained. “I didn’t really know what I was missing.” After taking the time to focus on her career, she feels that her standards for relationships have significantly elevated. “Now that I waited this long to date people, I have very high standards. If it’s gonna be hard to meet it, it’s gonna be bye-bye. But also, I don’t have time for myself; talk less of a boy.” This statement reflects her commitment to self-growth and her understanding of the importance of prioritizing her own ambitions.

Further exploring her relationship history, Ayra Starr shared with Dazed Magazine in September 2024 that she has never been in love. Despite her deep-rooted desire for a romantic connection, she clarified that she has never experienced a fully committed relationship. “I want to fall in love. I wrote ‘Lagos Love Story’ about what love would look like if I was,” she said, expressing her romantic aspirations. “I’m just very strong-headed about it. I actually have never been in love…I’ve been in certain situations—not situationships!—but I’ve never been in a fully committed relationship.”

This introspection reveals a multifaceted perspective on love and relationships. While she yearns for a meaningful connection, her focus on personal growth and professional aspirations underscores her determination to not settle for less than she deserves. Ayra Starr’s reflections resonate with many young adults navigating similar challenges in balancing personal ambitions with the quest for love.
