Nigerian Entertainment News: Ayra Star Issues Apology for Inadequate Greeting Pattern to King Sunny Ade and Elders at Event
Nigerian songstress, Ayra Star, has expressed remorse after inadequately acknowledging King Sunny Ade, Bose Ogulu (Burna Boy’s mother), and other respected figures during a recent gathering
Ayra offered her apology following criticism on social media, where she was admonished for not appropriately ‘bending’ or ‘kneeling’ to show respect to her elders in the traditional manner expected of a younger individual.
In response to the viral video and ensuing call-out posts, Ayra Starr explained that upon entering, the bright lights and nervousness hindered her awareness. She clarified that she later returned to extend proper greetings to everyone present.
Emphasizing her cultural values, she asserted that she is not inherently disrespectful, highlighting her identity as a ‘proper Yoruba girl.’
Her sentiments were shared via a tweet.
“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”
