Rihanna seeks Ayra Starr collaboration — after working with Tems

Rihanna, the award-winning Barbadian music star, says she wants to work with Ayra Starr, the Nigerian singer.

The music stars recently met at the Fenty X Puma party in London, where they both exchanged pleasantries.

During the chat, Starr told the ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker that Barbados, Rihanna’s home country, is her “favourite place in the world”.

Oh her part, Rihanna confessed she had only heard of Starr through her cousin’s obsession with her music.

“I have been hearing of Ayra Starr, I did not know who but my cousin she was like, ‘Oh my God I got this from Ayra Starr.’ She was obsessed with you,” she said.

She also inquired if the Nigerian songstress has a project with Tems, her colleague.

Starr confirmed that collaborations are in the works, but none have been released yet.

Rihanna responded by playfully expressing her interest in collaborating with the singer, saying, “You got an extra verse for me? Call me”.

In 2022, Rihanna collaborated with Tems, who contributed to the writing of ‘Lift Me Up’, the celestial ballad for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.

Starr previously expressed her desire to collaborate with Rihanna, describing the US singer as her “queen”.

She added that she loves her music, stating it boosts her confidence.

Cynthia Morgan reveals why she’ll never reach out to Burna Boy

Cynthia Morgan has revealed why she will never reach out to Burna Boy amid the controversy surrounding his rumoured past relationship with Uju Stella.

In a recent post on her Instagram story, Morgan claimed people advised her to contact Burna Boy regarding Stella’s interview.

In the interview, Stella alleged that she and Burna Boy dated for three years and she got pregnant for him.

In the post, Morgan said she can’t reach out to Burna Boy because he is still upset that she didn’t believe him when Stella made the accusations in 2016.

The songstress also took a shot at men, arguing that they tend to lie and get angry when others don’t believe them.

“For those sending me messages to reach out to Burna Boy, I won’t. If it was me I would reach out but he is probably still mad that I didn’t believe he didn’t impregnate Uju Stella in 2016,” she wrote.

“That’s what most men do. They lie and get mad when you don’t believe them. Something he finally admitted to online 8 years later. You all leave me alone. All the best Damini.”

Morgan and Burna Boy have collaborated on music, with their 2016 song ‘Acting Bad’ a notable example.

There were also rumours of a romantic relationship between the two singers in 2015, although the pair did not confirm it.

Cubana Chief Priest vows to secure Speed Darlington’s release amid Burna Boy feud

Cubana Chief Priest, the Nigerian socialite, has promised to secure the release of Speed Darlington, the rapper.

The rapper was arrested on November 27 while performing at a show in Owerri, Imo state. He was accused of cyberstalking Burna Boy, the Grammy-winning artiste.

In a post via his Instastory on Sunday, Cubana shared a photo of Darlington. In the accompanying caption, the socialite said: “Tomorrow we coming for you Akpi Nwamama.

“Monday is almost here. Make we now show power,” he added.

The post comes amid the feud between Cubana and Burna Boy over an undisclosed matter.

Over the weekend, the duo engaged in a heated war of words on social media.

The controversy started when Burna took to Instagram to call out the socialite, describing him as a “low-budget Rick Ross”.

“No forget say u be Azaman o. And dem don gbe your plug wey him name na Omo Igbo for ATL. And na u be next. #OwerriRickyrozay,” he wrote in Pidgin English.

Responding via a series of posts, Cubana said Burna Boy was dissing him out of jealousy over his success.

He also claimed the singer won a Grammy award because of his relationship with the embattled US rapper Diddy.

“It’s so clear because how is it even possible that someone who brags to be so rich go dey live in so much pain? Wetin dey pain you? Shebi na you be African princess,” he wrote.

In another post, the socialite recounted how he paid Burna N1 million to perform as a backup artiste for his birthday celebration in 2018.

Darlington, on the other hand, has remained in detention despite a court order granting him bail in December.

His lawyers Deji Adeyanju and Stan Alieke have described his continued detention as “unjustifiable”.

In a statement on his X page on Monday, Adeyanju disclosed that the police have been directed to comply with the court’s order to release the rapper.

“The Federal High Court has directed the Nigerian Police to comply with the order to release Speed Darlington immediately pending the hearing of the substantive matter,” he said.

“The court further directs Abubakar Marshal, Esq. to stand as surety to Akpi. Alternatively, he should be arraigned immediately.”
