Nigerian singer has revealed her personal picks for the “Afrobeats Big 3,” naming the artists she believes are the greatest in the genre.
During a recent interview with Hot 97 FM, Starr selected Tiwa savage, wizkid , and rema as the top Afrobeats artists of all time. Her choices noticeably left out Davido and Burna Boy , who are commonly mentioned alongside Wizkid as part of the genre’s widely recognized “Big 3.”
“My Afrobeats Big 3 would be Tiwa Savage, Wizkid and Rema. My solid Big 3,” she said.
Meanwhile, Starr also opened up about why she moved from Nigeria to New York, explaining that her friends and the cultural environment played a major role in her decision.
“I spent the last two summers in New York and last summer I lived in Hell’s Kitchen for about three months with my friends. We were watching American shows and movies. It was fun.
“Also, growing up, I had always wanted to come to America. So which city would I want to go? LA is too far, the time difference with Nigeria is nine hours. So, I chose New York,” she explained in an interview with Angela Yee.
