Fast-rising singer Ayra Starr succumbs to pressure as she issues an apology while explaining her reason for shaking hands with the veteran juju singer, King Sunny Ade. This comes in response to a viral video from a recent event where the 'Sabi Girl' crooner casually approached King Sunny Ade for a handshake.



Ayra Starr faced severe backlash from social media users who labeled her as an uncultured Nigerian lady and criticized her for being rude in her interaction with the veteran singer.



In response to the claims, Sabi Girl offered an apology for any perceived disrespect and explained the reasons behind her actions.

Ayra Starr explained that initially, she did not recognize King Sunny Ade due to the lights at the event. However, upon realizing her mistake, she returned to correct her actions.

In a post via the X platform, she wrote;

“???????? I’m so sorry , I had just walked in and all the lights and nerves didn’t let me see but i came back around to greet everyone properly, I have never been that girl to be disrespectful, I’m a proper Yoruba girlllll and the video didn’t start until after I’d greeted burna’s mom ! I’m very sorry to the legend, uncle and King Sunny Ade,” she wrote.
