Ayra Starr has opened up about her reservations regarding a risqué line in her latest track with Wizkid, titled Gimme Dat.

 The Mavin Records star confessed she hopes her mother never hears her second verse on the song, where she boldly sings about inspecting a man's private parts.

The collaboration, which cleverly samples Wyclef Jean and Mary J. Blige’s early 2000s classic 911, sees Ayra Starr flipping male attention to her advantage. 

In the provocative verse, she playfully references "surveying tools" and hints at having a powerful impact on her partner.

The lyrics, though applauded by some for their boldness and wit, sparked mixed reactions among listeners. 

Some fans praised her confidence and songwriting skills, while others felt the verse was a bit too explicit for their taste.

Taking to her X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday, the Rush crooner joked about wanting to keep the racy part of the song away from her mother’s ears. 

“Hopefully my mom never listens to my second verse,” she posted, drawing laughter and support from fans who found her honesty relatable.

Ayra Starr, who has steadily risen to global fame with her unique voice and daring style, is no stranger to pushing creative boundaries. 

Gimme Dat adds to her growing reputation for blending catchy Afrobeats rhythms with unfiltered, expressive lyrics.

Her latest admission shows the delicate balance artists often navigate between creative freedom and family expectations, especially in cultures where traditional values still hold strong.

Despite the controversy, the new collaboration with Wizkid is already gaining traction across streaming platforms, further cementing Ayra Starr’s place among Afrobeats' most fearless young stars.
