Ayra Starr has boldly declared Wizkid as the undisputed king of Afrobeats, praising his unique ability to create what she described as “sexy Afrobeats.” 

The statement has reignited debates among fans over who truly dominates the Afrobeats scene, particularly between the genre’s leading stars Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy, often referred to collectively as the “Big 3.”

Speaking about their collaboration on her hit song Gimme Dat, Ayra Starr said, “Nobody else could have been right on that song aside from Wizkid. Even just his sonics and the sound, the chorus pattern feels very Wizkid; it feels very like sexy Afrobeats. And everybody knows Wizkid is the king of sexy Afrobeats.”

 Her remarks underscore the singer’s admiration for Wizkid’s artistry, highlighting not just his musical talent but also his ability to craft tracks that resonate with a wide audience.

Ayra Starr emphasized that working with Wizkid allowed her to experience firsthand the magic that has earned him international acclaim. 

“When I was recording Gimme Dat, his energy and creativity were unmatched. He knows exactly how to make a song catchy, emotional, and smooth all at once. That’s what sets him apart from other artists,” she added on August 23, 2025.

Fans of Afrobeats have long debated who deserves the title of the genre’s leading figure. While Davido is celebrated for his high-energy hits and Burna Boy for his Afro-fusion prowess, Wizkid’s ability to combine sensual rhythms with mainstream appeal has won him both critical and popular recognition.

 Ayra Starr’s endorsement adds further weight to this argument, as she is widely regarded as one of the fastest-rising stars in the Afrobeats scene herself.

Beyond the collaboration, Ayra Starr believes Wizkid has shaped the modern sound of Afrobeats. “He has this effortless style that makes everything he touches sound like a hit. It’s not just about singing; it’s about creating an atmosphere, a vibe. That’s sexy Afrobeats, and he’s the king,” she said.

Wizkid’s influence extends beyond the studio. His global collaborations and performances have helped Afrobeats gain international recognition, making him a cultural ambassador for Nigerian music. 

Ayra Starr’s public praise reflects a growing acknowledgment among younger artists who see Wizkid as a mentor and standard-bearer for creativity and excellence.

In conclusion, Ayra Starr’s declaration that Wizkid is the king of sexy Afrobeats on August 23, 2025, underscores his enduring impact on the genre. 

Through collaborations like Gimme Dat and his consistent innovation, Wizkid continues to define what it means to be at the top of Afrobeats, inspiring a new generation of artists and fans alike.
