Ayra Starr Hopes Her Mom Skips the Second Verse of ‘Gimme Dat’ with Wizkid

Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr has sparked conversations online after candidly admitting that she’s not exactly eager for her mother to hear a certain part of her new collaboration with Wizkid, Gimme Dat.

In the track — which samples the classic ‘911’ by Wyclef Jean and Mary J. Blige — Ayra Starr gets bold and sultry in the second verse, flipping male attention into a show of confidence and control.

"So many people wan lick my stew, so baby chill make I survey your tools… and if I handle your 2 by 2, you fit to scream, you go lose your cool," Ayra sings.

While many fans applauded her unapologetic expression of power and femininity, others felt the lyrics were "too raw" for comfort.

Reacting humorously to the buzz, Ayra took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote:

“Hopefully my mom never listens to my second verse.”

Our Take:
Ayra Starr continues to carve out her own fearless lane in the Afrobeats world. 🎤✨ Her lyrics on Gimme Dat may raise eyebrows, but they also highlight a young woman fully owning her artistry and expression — something that’s refreshing and powerful to witness in today’s music scene.

Of course, balancing boldness with broader audience sensitivity — including parents! 😂 — is part of the growing pains of becoming a global star. Still, if history has taught us anything, it’s that the biggest icons often shook tables before building empires.

Ayra’s star isn’t just rising — it’s blazing. 🚀
