Popular Afrobeat star Ayra Starr is facing heavy criticism over her recent post, which many have deemed insensitive given the ongoing controversy surrounding a Lagos corps member.
The singer took to X to share two stylish photos of herself in a black gown, expecting admiration from fans.
However, the post was met with backlash, as many accused her of ignoring pressing national issues, particularly the ordeal of an NYSC member who recently called out President Bola Tinubu‘s government over inflation and the hardship faced by corps members.
The corps member’s viral video, in which she also ridiculed Lagos for its alleged bad odor, sparked outrage, with reports emerging that she was being threatened by NYSC officials. Amid this heated debate, Ayra Starr’s post was seen as tone-deaf, leading to online criticism.
