Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has shared her picks for the greatest Afrobeats artists of all time, naming her personal “Afrobeats Big 3.”

During a recent interview with Hot 97, the singer selected Tiwa Savage, Wizkid, and Rema as the artists she considers the most influential in the genre.

Her selection notably left out Davido and Burna Boy, who are commonly mentioned alongside Wizkid as part of Afrobeats’ widely recognized “Big 3.”

“My Afrobeats Big 3 would be Tiwa Savage, Wizkid, and Rema—my solid Big 3,” Starr said.

In a separate interview with Angela Yee, the singer also opened up about her decision to relocate from Nigeria to New York City. She explained that her experiences spending time in the city and the presence of close friends played a major role in the move.

“I spent the last two summers in New York, and last summer I lived in Hell’s Kitchen for about three months with my friends. We were watching American shows and movies—it was fun,” she said.

Starr added that moving to the United States had long been a personal goal. She ultimately chose New York over Los Angeles, noting that the time difference between Los Angeles and Nigeria—about nine hours—would have made it more difficult to stay connected.
