Grammy-nominated Nigerian superstar Ayra Starr has lauded American star singer Chris Brown for being supportive of African artistes.
She expressed her excitement when the multiple award-winning singer invited her on his “11:11” tour of the United States and Canada.
“I first heard about it [my tour with Chris Brown] during the Grammy week. I was super excited. No, I didn’t cry. I would probably cry during my first performance at the tour when I see everybody,” she said to Kiss FM, UK.
“Chris Brown has been a fan of African music for a long time. He has been very supportive. He has always been supporting the culture and it is really beautiful to see.”
“It is exciting to see African music get recognised globally. It has been a long time coming. African music has been popping. African music has been doing it in Africa. Actually, Afrobeats has always been the best genre in the world,” she added.
