Ayra Starr, the Grammy-nominated singer, has revealed that she avoided dating in high school because she didn’t want anyone to claim her as an ex-girlfriend later.
Speaking during an interview with Quenlin Blackwell, the 23-year-old Mavin Records artiste explained that she believed most of her admirers had ulterior motives.
“I didn’t date in high school because I didn’t want to be anybody’s ex. I’m such a baddie, like I knew, like a lot of guys were trying, and I was hmm, why are you trying? That means you must have an ulterior motive,” she said.
Born Oyinkansola Aderibigbe, Starr recently opened up about a secret relationship that inspired her recent single ‘Where Do We Go’.
“‘Where Do We Go’ is inspired by a very secret relationship I had for a while, where it was very much like nobody knew what was going on — only us,” she said.
“My friends were telling me to wrap it up, but I was like, ‘No, I love him’.”
The ‘Rush’ hitmaker also stated that while everyone has a type, her ideal man isn’t defined by physical appearance.
She explained that being attractive means little if the person lacks basic sense or intelligence.
“Yeah, I have a type. You have to have a type,” she said. “To be honest, my type is not too physical like that because you can be fine and not have sense. It is the truth,” she said.
