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

Published

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.”

Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has opened up about her emergency surgery, expressing thanks that she is alive.
The actress took to her verified Instagram page to share her experience with her fans in an emotional video.
Omotola showed off the scars she got from the surgery as she lifted her top to show what her stomach now looks like.
Speaking about the emergency surgery she had late last year, the mother of four admitted that showing off her scar during her Valentine’s Day shoot was a slip, but one she eventually embraced.
Omotola urged her fans to be unshaken by physical and emotional scars, insisting that they look great regardless.

“During this shoot I forgot and grabbed my top during my pose and I heard a little voice say … there’s nothing to show anymore…
“Not me ! That thing that’ll shake my Confidence has Not been created. I smiled and danced. I’m Alive … it’s just scars.
“Some people’s Scars are Physical and Some are Emotional … but today , smile, dance and be proud Beautiful, You’re still here and you look darn good too !
“What if I’m not perfect . Would you still Love me?”
This is the first time Omotola is speaking out about her surgery. Recall that last year the actress battled an unknown illness.
Without saying much at the time, the actress hinted at her illness as she shared a video of herself lying on a sick bed on her verified Instagram page while thanking God with Fireboy DML’s Iseoluwa.

The 32-year-old billionaire heiress has had a rollercoaster love life. She’s been romantically involved with notable figures, including former Super Eagles striker Victor Anichebe, but their relationship ended in 2017 due to long-distance struggles.
She later dated music executive Asa Asika, but their romance hit the wall around 2020. In 2022, she got engaged to British boxer Ryan Taylor, and the couple often shared affectionate moments online. However, by 2023, rumours of a split started circulating, and she later confirmed she was single again.
DJ Cuppy, born on November 11, 1992, has had a successful disc jockey career. In 2014, she was the resident DJ at the MTV Africa Music Awards in Durban.
After then, she played at the Tatler and Christie’s Art Ball in London and at the Financial Times Business of Luxury Summit in Mexico City.
In July 2014, she released House of Cuppy as her first compilation mix in London and Lagos, before launching it in New York on 2 September 2014. With House of Cuppy, she produced EDM-esque remixes of songs by leading afropop artists.
That same year, Cuppy also launched the London-based music management and content production business, Red Velvet Music Group.
