Ayra Starr Reveals She Underwent Major Surgery

Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has revealed that she recently underwent major surgery, explaining that the procedure has kept her away from social media and slowed down her recovery more than she anticipated.

The “Rush” hitmaker shared the health update via her Instagram Story, apologising to her fans, popularly known as Mobstarrs, for her reduced online presence in recent days.

According to the singer, what she initially expected to be a quick recovery became more complicated after the surgery.

“Hey Mobstarrs,

I’m sorry you’re not seeing as much of me as I would like. I had major surgery a few days ago. I was hoping for a quick recovery, but it turned out to be more complicated than they expected. I need a bit of rest, and I’ll be back!!!”

Despite the setback, Ayra Starr reassured fans that she is steadily recovering and remains excited about the release of her forthcoming project, StarrGiRL.

She urged supporters to continue promoting the project while she focuses on regaining her strength.

“Starrgirl is coming so sooooon. I need everyone out there spreading the word. Tell your friends, your family, your neighbours!!! Order Starrgirl ASAP!!! Love you, guys.”

The award-winning singer did not disclose the nature of the surgery or provide further details about her medical condition.

Following her announcement, fans and colleagues flooded social media with prayers and messages of support, wishing the Mavin Records star a speedy recovery and encouraging her to prioritise her health before returning to work.

Ayra Starr has enjoyed another remarkable year, earning international acclaim for her music and performances while continuing to cement her place as one of Africa’s leading global music stars.

Her latest update has reassured fans that although she is taking time to heal, she remains focused on her music and is looking forward to returning stronger.
