Popular Nigerian artiste, Oyinkansola Aderibigbe, aka Ayra Starr, has apologised after she was dragged by social media users for disrespecting Juju music icon, King Sunny Ade.
As seen in a viral video online, Starr was seen shaking hands with KSA while standing – a posture that has brought her under the light as netizens lambasted the 21-year-old for disrespecting the septuagenarian.

Realizing her error, Starr took to her X handle early Saturday to apologize to the music icon.

With tearful emojis, her tweet read, “I’m so sorry, I had just walked in and all the lights and nerves didn’t let me see but I came back around to greet everyone properly, I have never been that girl to be disrespectful, I’m a proper Yoruba girl and the video didn’t start until after I’d greeted burna’s mom! I’m very sorry to the legend, uncle, and King Sunny Ade.”

However, some users weren’t satisfied as they said she still labelled KSA as an “uncle.”
