Recently, Ayra Starr was dragged on social media for disrespecting King of Juju music, Sunny Ade at an event.
In a trending video, Ayra Starr, who came to an event, was greeting some personalities. She came to where the 77-year-old Sunny Ade was sitting, instead of kneeling down to greet him, she simply shook hand with him while standing.
Nigerians were angry that being a Yoruba girl, she should have learnt that younger people don’t greet their elders by shaking hands with them.
She later apologized and begged King o Juju Music, Sunny Ade to forgive her.
Taking to her X handle the singer apologised profusely for disrespecting Sunny Ade.
She wrote: “I’m so sorry , I had just walked in and all the lights and nerves didn’t let me see but I came back around to greet everyone properly.
“I have never been that girl to be disrespectful, I’m a proper Yoruba girlllll and the video didn’t start until after I’d greeted Burna’s mom ! I’m very sorry to the legend, uncle and King Sunny Ade.”
