In a candid interview with Billboard, Nigerian songstress Ayra Starr opened up about her struggle with imposter syndrome following the release of her chart-topping hit, ‘Rush.’ Imposter syndrome, characterized by persistent feelings of inadequacy despite evident talent and achievements, weighed heavily on her mind despite her undeniable skill.

Ayra confessed that she initially hesitated to release ‘Rush,’ plagued by doubts about its potential reception. The track marked a departure from her usual style, leading her to question its suitability. However, buoyed by her team’s encouragement, she ultimately took the leap.

To her surprise, ‘Rush’ skyrocketed in popularity upon its release, propelling her into the limelight. Despite its success, Ayra found herself grappling with feelings of unworthiness, unsure if she truly deserved the acclaim showered upon her.

“I put out different sounds all the time, but with ‘Rush’, it was different from anything I had put out before. I was like, ‘I am not sure I want to do this’, and everybody was like, ‘Trust me, Ayra, just trust your team’,” she said.

“And when it came out, it blew up immediately. Just from the snippet, like a 30-second snippet, it was already trending.

“I started to have imposter syndrome because nothing like that has ever happened to me. Like, I do not know if I deserve this.”
