Afrobeats singer Ayra Starr is set to make history as the first African artist to headline an NFL half-time show during the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Jacksonville Jaguars game in London on Sunday. Starr, 24, hopes her performance will send a powerful message, as she believes artists should represent their culture and the people who listen to them.
Earlier this year, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny made history by performing entirely in Spanish at the Super Bowl half-time show, marking the first time a musician has done so at the event. Starr, who has already broken numerous records, is set to perform tracks from her new studio album, Starrgirl. Before becoming a superstar, Starr studied political sciences and international relations, which has influenced her outspoken advocacy for women's rights and equality.
As Afrobeats continues to grow in popularity worldwide, Starr hopes to see more female artists gain equal recognition and opportunities in the genre.
