According to the singer, she has developed a personal relationship with God and the Holy Spirit that does not necessarily depend on regular church attendance.
“I am trying to be as perfect as Jesus,” she said.
The singer noted that her faith is based more on personal conviction than on strict religious practices.
According to her, spirituality is something that works differently for different people.
“I have a close relationship with God and the Holy Spirit and it doesn’t come with me only being in church,” she explained.
Ayra Starr added that she believes faith is more important than physical appearances or public displays of religion.
Quoting a biblical principle, she said she has chosen to trust in what works for her personally.
“God says let it be unto you according to your faith. I have found a way that works for me,” she said.
The music star further explained that, at this stage of her life, she is more comfortable focusing on spirituality rather than organised religion.
She said being spiritual and less religious is what currently suits her, although she admitted that her perspective could change in the future.
According to her, personal growth and life experiences may eventually shape her beliefs differently.
“Being spiritual and less religious is what works for me for now, but that might change later,” she added.
Ayra Starr’s comments have since generated mixed reactions on social media.
While some fans praised her honesty and admired the way she spoke about her faith, others debated her statement about wanting to be “as perfect as Jesus”.
Supporters argued that the singer was simply expressing her desire to live a better and more meaningful life.
Many also agreed with her view that spirituality can exist outside the walls of a church.
Others noted that many young people today are moving away from strict religious structures and choosing a more personal approach to faith.
However, some critics argued that being spiritual without being religious can be confusing.
A few social media users also questioned whether it is possible for anyone to aspire to the level of perfection associated with Jesus.
Despite the debate, many people commended Ayra Starr for speaking openly about a topic that many celebrities often avoid.
The singer is known for sharing aspects of her personal life and beliefs with her fans.
Over the years, she has frequently spoken about self-confidence, growth, and staying true to oneself.
Aside from discussing her spirituality, Ayra Starr also surprised fans by revealing that she is making a move into acting.
According to the singer, she has already begun building a career in the movie industry.
She disclosed that she started acting last year and is preparing for the release of her first film.
The singer did not reveal the title of the movie or provide details about the role she played.
However, she confirmed that the project is expected to be released later this year.
“I started acting last year and my first movie will come out this year,” she said.
The revelation has excited many of her fans, who are eager to see her on screen.
Ayra Starr has become one of the most successful young female artistes in Nigeria since she broke into the music scene.
Signed to “Mavin Records”, a Nigerian record label founded by Don Jazzy, she rose to fame with songs such as “Away”, a 2021 single by Ayra Starr, and “Bloody Samaritan”, a 2021 single by Ayra Starr.
She has since become one of the leading voices of the new generation of Afrobeats stars.
