Afrobeats singer Ayra Starr has denied being aware of any rivalry between her colleagues, Asake and Seyi Vibez.
While Asake and Seyi Vibez haven’t publicly clashed, there has been tension between their fanbases, particularly on social media.
In a recent interview with The Beat FM Lagos, Ayra Starr was asked if her decision to collaborate with both artists on her sophomore album, ‘The Year I Turned 21,’ was intentional due to their alleged rivalry. She responded that she was unaware of any such rivalry and chose to work with them purely because she admires their musical talent.

She said, “I didn’t put Asake and Seyi Vibez on my album because of their rivalry. I didn’t know about the rivalry between Asake and Seyi Vibez. I just love both of them as artists.
“I’m really big on sonics; what would sound good sonically. My team is always thinking of the business side but I’m just thinking of who would be sonically compatible with me. And I’ve been listening to Seyi Vibez’s ‘Different Pattern’ for a very long time. So I decided to work with him. When I sent the record to him, he sent his verse almost immediately. They were very quick with it. Asake, too, he sent me his verse in three days.”
