Nigerian Afrobeats singer Ayra Starr, born Sarah Aderibigbe, has spoken about her personal spiritual journey, describing her faith as individual, flexible, and not strictly defined by organised religious practice.
In a recent livestream conversation with TikToker Jarvis, the singer discussed her relationship with God, explaining that her spirituality is guided more by personal conviction than formal religious structures.
Ayra Starr said her aspiration is to live in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ, noting that she is “trying to be as perfect as Jesus,” while emphasising that her faith is shaped by personal growth and moral values rather than rigid religious observance.
She added that her connection with God and the Holy Spirit is not limited to church attendance, but is expressed through daily living and personal experience.
“I have a close relationship with God and the Holy Spirit and it doesn’t come with me only being in church. God says let it be unto you according to your faith. I have found a way that works for me,” she said.
