Mavin Records singer, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, known professionally as Ayra Starr, has reacted after falling on her back while performing at the Afrochella Festival in Ghana.
The Afrochella Experience celebrates Africa’s diverse culture and the vibrant work of African creatives & entrepreneurs; this year’s edition was themed “Afrofuturism.”
While performing at the festival, Ayra Starr slipped and fell on her back while trying to give her fans an energetic show.
She, however, stood on her feet almost immediately and continued the show as if nothing happened.
Taken to Twitter to express the painful experience, the self-acclaimed celestial being encouraged the organizers to take the cleaning of the stage more seriously.
“Afrochella next time y’all should clean your stage after every artist performance, that fall was very unnecessary and painful,” she wrote.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Ayra Starr was born in Cotonou, Benin and began a fashion career at the age of 16 with Quove Model Management before deciding to pursue her musical career properly.
After covering several songs by popular artists on Instagram, she posted her first original song on her page in December 2019. This brought her to the attention of record executive Don Jazzy and led to her signing to Mavin Records.
In early 2021, Ayra Starr achieved mainstream recognition with her eponymous debut extended play and its hit track “Away” which spent two consecutive weeks at number four on Nigeria’s TurnTable Top 50 and went to number 17 on US Billboard Top Triller Global, paving the way for the release of her first full-length mixtape, 19 & Dangerous in August 2021.
Categorized mainly as Afropop and R’nB, the album has been met with favorable critical reception. It spawned two top forty hits in Nigeria. The lead single “Bloody Samaritan” peaked atop the Top 50 chart, becoming the first solo song by a female artist to reach the number-one position.
Ayra Starr debuted on Pandora Predictions chart, and on 28 August 2021, she ranked number two on Billboard’s Next Big Sound.
