Nigerian music sensation Ayra Starr has made a surprising revelation—before rising to fame, she once ran a fan page for Nicki Minaj and even engaged in internet trolling.
During a recent appearance on the I Said What I Said podcast, the Rush hitmaker humorously admitted her secret desire to become an online troll, explaining that it would help her cope with negative comments directed at her.
“Sometimes, I just want to be a troll on the internet, maybe with a fake page. That way, when people insult me, I won’t feel bad because I’d be doing the same thing.”
Her playful confession had the show hosts laughing, but Ayra Starr doubled down on her point, citing Rihanna as an inspiration for her bold approach to online interactions.
“Rihanna back in the day used to clap back at people all the time!”
From Fan Page Admin to Global Star
Ayra Starr also admitted that she wasn’t just trolling for fun—she actively defended Nicki Minaj on social media before becoming a celebrity herself.
“I had a Nicki Minaj fan page. I used to be a troll, so I feel like I’ve been there, done that. But honestly, I think trolling would still fit me. It would be so fun!”
