Ayra Starr and Rihanna Delight Fans at Crop Over Festival in Barbados
Nigerian music sensation Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, better known as Ayra Starr, recently caused a stir online after videos surfaced of her and global pop icon Rihanna at the Crop Over Festival in Barbados.
The two artists have been seen growing closer since their first meeting at a Fenty Beauty event in London, where they shared a brief but promising conversation. This latest sighting at the Crop Over Festival, a major cultural event in Rihanna’s home country, has further fueled excitement among fans.
The Crop Over Festival, a vibrant celebration of Barbadian music, arts, food, and culture, spans three months and culminates in the grand Kadooment Day carnival parade. Established in 1974, the festival has become a highlight of Caribbean culture, attracting tourists and celebrating local traditions.
In the videos, Ayra Starr, elegantly dressed in a Mas costume, appears to be enjoying herself alongside Rihanna. The Nigerian star, whose style and music are reminiscent of early 2000s Rihanna, continues to build her brand with such high-profile interactions. Her sophomore album, The Year I Turned 21, remains popular, and this festival appearance further cements her growing international presence.
