Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr has achieved a historic milestone, becoming the first female artist from Nigeria to cross one billion total views on YouTube.
With this achievement, Ayra Starr joins an elite group of Nigerian music stars who have reached the billion-view mark, including Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Rema, Ckay, Omah Lay, Kizz Daniel, Tekno, P-Square, Flavour, and Fireboy DML.
Her growing global popularity is reflected in the impressive performance of her music videos, especially her Grammy-nominated hit “Rush,” which has amassed over 450 million views alone.
This accomplishment sees her surpassing Yemi Alade to become the most viewed Nigerian female artist on the platform.
Fans and fellow artists have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, celebrating her rise as a powerhouse in the global music scene.
Ayra Starr’s feat comes shortly after AFRIPOST reported that Wizkid became the first Nigerian male singer to hit one billion views on YouTube.
