Nigerian music sensation Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, professionally known as Ayra Starr, recently shared insights into her approach to handling social media trolls during an exclusive interview on Cool FM. The chart-topping artist revealed her nonchalant attitude towards negative comments, emphasizing her “let them be” philosophy.
“I read stuff and I see stuff, and if it’s bad, I just let them be. I feel like I’m in my ‘let them be’ era and stage. But if it’s stupid, I just block,” she stated.
The ‘Rush’ hitmaker highlighted her growth and improved understanding of how social media operates over time. Ayra Starr also acknowledged that, on occasion, she responds to trolls for amusement rather than out of anger.
“I’ve grown so much, and I know that my attention gives things value, so I don’t rate people. I feel like I had an era on Twitter just three months ago where I was responding to trolls. Not because I was angry, I was just having fun. I was on my bed with my legs in the sky responding to them. I just let them, and I don’t keep things in my mind because I won’t remember in like three hours,” she added.
