Ayra Starr Sets New Standard for Nigerian Female Artists on YouTube
Ayra Starr has etched her name in the history books, becoming the first Nigerian female artist to cross 1 billion views on YouTube, a feat that pushes her ahead of Yemi Alade, who previously held the record with 805 million views.
At just 23, the Mavin Records star is blazing a trail in the Afrobeats scene, both at home and abroad. Her chart-topping single Rush, which alone accounts for over 450 million views, played a massive role in pushing her over the billion mark, captivating audiences across continents.
Ayra now joins an elite list of Nigerian artists who have hit the billion-view milestone on the platform, a club previously dominated by men such as Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Rema, and Ckay.
Her achievement signals more than just numbers; it’s a powerful moment for female artists in Nigeria and across Africa, showing that the global stage is wide open. With her Grammy-nominated music and unstoppable momentum, Ayra Starr is not just riding the wave, she’s redefining it.
