Ayra Starr made this known while speaking with Love Island USA star, Chelley Bissainthe, during a Billboard interview shared about her nomination for the 2026 Grammy.
While tagging it a moment of reassurance in her career, Ayra Starr said ‘I am very grateful that I’m actually a two-time Grammy nominee. The first time I got nominated, it was like oh my God, I got nominated.
‘But the second time I was like maybe I need to trust God and myself a bit more. I have collaborated with many people, and I still want to collaborate with more people. But everyone knows Burna Boy is like my number one person I want to collaborate with’, she said.
The songstress earned a Grammy nomination for Best African Music Performance for ‘Gimme Dat’ with Wizkid, released in April 2025.
The nominations were announced in November 2025 ahead of the 1 February, 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony.
