‘People are hungry, tired’ – Ayra Starr joins lamenting Nigerians

Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has revealed why she isn’t bothered by negative criticisms.

The ‘Bloody Samaritan’ hitmaker said she isn’t bothered because most of her critics are depressed and battling poverty.

She added that worrying about what people say about her is a waste of time.

Speaking in a recent interview with Dose Society, Starr said: “What matters less? I think opinions and people’s perceptions of you doesn’t [matter].

“Trust me, people are living their lives. Everybody is busy. People are hungry. Stop caring and stop thinking what people are thinking about you. People are hungry, tired. Life is hard. Just do you.

“Sometimes, you’re there overthinking, ‘what does this person think about me?’ Then, they’re just like, ‘what’s gonna happen today? Am I gonna make it home?’

“There’s a lot happening in the world, and if you spend your time thinking about what people think about you, you’re just gonna waste time. Do you, find yourself. Be confident in yourself. Don’t care about the outcome. Just do. Don’t be afraid to fail. Fail as many times as you want to but when you get it right, you’re going to be so proud of yourself.”
