Ayra Starr under fire again over skimpy dress
Ayra Starr, the Nigerian songstress, has once again tackled critics of her dress at a concert.
Starr who is on her ’21: World Tour’ delivered an electrifying performance in Stockholm, Sweden last Saturday.
Clad in a pink-coloured dress, Ayra entertained the cheering concertgoers with her hit songs while wearing a pant-revealing outfit.
Shortly after, the ‘Sability’ hitmaker took to X to appreciate her fans for showing up at the concert.
She also berated critics who had called her out over her outfit, adding that they were not her “targetted audience”.

“Stockholm has set the bar so high !!!! Thank you for giving me all the energy I needed !! See you next year,” she wrote.
Reacting to the tweet, an X user mocked the singer, saying she wore “a baby’s wear”.
Yeah your moms pampers , does she need more ?

The singer, however, slammed the user for making such a comment.
Another X user also referred to the songstress as a “pretty girl, empty head”.
In her reaction, Ayra insinuated that if she had an “empty head” she would not have “earned a degree at 18”.
I had a degree at 18 sammyboy , you wouldn’t be able to know an empty head if you were staring at one

This is not the first time Starr has been criticised over her skimpy outfit at concerts.
In November 2022, she was at the receiving end of social media backlash over the dress she wore to a concert in Lagos.
Again in June, she was also criticised for her skimpy dress during a concert in Athens, Greece.
