Cooking Nigerian foods relaxes me and keeps me centred – Ayra Starr

One thing about Ayra, give her Yam and Egg anytime, any day!
Nigerian singer Ayra Starr recently shared how cooking Nigerian meals plays a vital role in her life, especially while on the road.
The singer, who has always been open about her love for Nigerian food, especially yam and egg, stressed that while on the road she prefers home-cooked meals. Speaking during an interactive sit down with fellow singer Coco Jones, the pair discussed their music, career progression, and even their preferred ways of unwinding after stressful days.
“One thing I’m going to do when I’m on the road is to make sure to have a TV show so I can disappear for three minutes to watch it; I’d watch it on my phone,” she said, emphasising the importance of finding small moments of relaxation.
She added, “I also try to eat Nigerian food wherever I am because it keeps me happy. I be like, ‘I don’t want to eat burgers again. Are we eating burgers again?’ please.”
Ayra Starr opened up about how cooking puts her at peace, saying, “Sometimes I just want to eat my food, and sometimes I try to stay in serviced apartments whenever I can so that I can cook. I feel like that keeps me and centres me. So even if I’m tired from a shoe and it’s late, even if it’s 9, 10, or 11 p.m., cooking is relaxing for me.”
The singer further noted that even when her career gets overwhelming, her family and friends understand and also keep her grounded.
She explained, “Thank God for my friends, they don’t leave me alone. We have group chats, and I still try to involve them in my life, but they get it. Sometimes I just disappear when it becomes overwhelming.”

6 weddings aren't enough, I wanted to marry Priscilla everywhere – Juma Jux

Tanzanian singer Juma Jux has opened up about his whirlwind series of wedding celebrations with Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo, revealing his desire to marry her in every meaningful location tied to their relationship.
Speaking about their upcoming final wedding reception, Jux said he and Priscilla will conclude their extended celebrations on May 28 in Tanzania. “This is the final round, the big one,” he announced. “I call it the final one because my wife is tired already.”
Juma revealed that the extensive and extravagant wedding ceremonies held thus far had caused a strain on Priscilla, particularly due to the elaborate outfits and preparations expected of brides.
He clarified that he wanted more weddings as the six weddings done weren’t enough to prove his undying love for her.
She always tells me, ‘it’s easy for you because you’re wearing a suit; you don’t have to go through a lot with dressing.’ I understand her; she’s gone through a lot. 5-6 weddings is not even enough for me; I wanted more. I wanted to go to the place where we first met but she has no energy; she has tried.
The award-winning singer let his fans know that the wedding finale was going to be the biggest one of them all.
Tanzania is the final one, the last one and because it’s the final one, I’d put everything on that. It’s going to be crazy; my friends from different countries are coming from Uganda Kenya, china, USA, and even Tanzania
