Afrobeats musician Ayra Starr’s mom, Nene Aderigbigbe, has talked candidly about her decision to break up with three close friends.
Aderigbigbe explained her choice in a New Year’s reflection posted on TikTok, citing emotional tiredness, improper behaviour, and betrayals of trust.
“So I was reflecting on life, you know, it is a new year, and you want to reflect and see what you can correct,” I remembered that a few years ago, I cut off from a few of my friends. I don’t know if I overreacted, and do you know why I did it,” she said.
According to her, the first friend betrayed her trust by sharing a private conversation with her husband without consent, prompting Aderigbigbe to immediately cut off contact.
The second friend’s husband made her uncomfortable with inappropriate messages, including sharing his travel plans.
“The second person, I am your friend, why will your husband be telling me where he is travelling to?” she asked, noting that she felt disrespected and uneasy by the messages.
Speaking further, she said the third friend constantly complained about her marriage, draining Ayra Starr’s Mom emotionally.

She said that, being married for over 20 years, the friend’s repeated complaints took a toll on her mental well-being.
“You have been married for 20 years, and you are still calling me to complain about your marriage. What do you want me to do?” she said, adding that the repeated complaints took a toll on her mental well-being.
Aderigbigbe, who chose not to disclose the reasons for cutting ties to the friends, stated, “So that is why I cut those friends off, and till today, they do not even know why.”
Afrobeats singer, Ayra Starr, says she prays that for her mother to listen to the second verse of her new collaboration with Wizkid, “Gimme Dat”
In her lyrics , she commanded a man to let her “survey” his private parts.
In her second verse of the song, which sampled Wyclef Jean and Mary J. Blige’s 2000 hit ‘911,’ Starr shared that a lot of men watch her for the wrong reasons, but she knows how to flip that gaze into power.
“So many people wan lick my stew, so baby chill make I survey your tools… and if I handle your 2 by 2, you fit to scream, you go lose your cool,” she sings.
The verse instantly caught the attention of listeners. While many commended her artistry, others criticised her delivery on the verse as being “too raw”.
Ayra Starr herself shared on her X handle on Saturday that he doesn’t want her mother to listen to the controversial verse.
