Although the relocation is recent, she said the city has long felt familiar to her due to frequent visits before the move.

“I’m always in New York regardless. I’ve always been in New York. I’m a New Yorker in my spirit,” she said.

Ayra Starr explained that New York reminds her of Lagos, where she grew up and began her music career. She said the atmosphere, pace of life and cultural mix in the U.S. city made the adjustment easier.

“New York reminds me so much of Lagos,” she said. “There’s a lot of Nigerians. There’s a huge African diaspora here, so it feels like home.”

She added that she had earlier been unsure about relocating permanently but later became convinced after spending more time in the city.

“I was sceptical about moving to New York. I remember being on stage one day and feeling like I might actually move here. I realised that I really liked it here,” she said.
