It is cold & lonely in New York – Ayra Starr

Ayra Starr has spoken candidly about her struggles in New York, months after relocating from Lagos

In a Substack post, the singer revealed she’s battling loneliness and harsh winter conditions, describing her apartment as “almost-empty” and the city as “a walk-in freezer”.

Starr admitted to moments of regret, missing out on Detty December in Nigeria.

She confessed to feeling like she’s in her “nobody gets me era”, no longer caring about proving herself to others.

She said: “It’s so cold it feels like the city is actively trying to unalive my motivation. It’s the kind of cold that makes you realize happiness was just a summer hallucination, and I can’t stop the tiny voice at the back of my mind sarcastically saying, ‘Who sent you work?’”
