“Sabi girl don dey too like fun.”
Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr sure knows how to have a good time. But guess who she partied with lately?
The Fenty Queen herself, Rihanna.
Both were spotted at the Barbados Crop Over Festival, an annual festival that lights up the island from June till August. They attended the crown jewel of the festival: Kadooment Day, a grand carnival parade that celebrates Barbadian music, arts, culture, and food.
In a video circulating online, both singers wore jeweled bodysuits that exposed most of the body, adorned with feathery wings at the back and equally jaw-dropping headgear—a look reminiscent of the flamboyant styles seen at the Calabar Carnival.
Ayra was clearly soaking in the fun, as was Riri, who—if you recall—had relished an Ayra Starr collaboration after both met at the Fenty X Puma party in London this past April.
Sure, there have been a few murmurs about Ayra being “half-naked” at the Barbados festival, but let’s be honest, what’s a carnival without a bit of daring fashion? Arya Starr seems to be enjoying the perks that come with being a twenty-two-year-old.
So, while some might clutch their pearls, we say: go ahead Sabi girl!
