The Multi talented female Songwriter “Ayra Starr,” said “she was used to a very slow beat and all that. she just sings her heart out. But when it comes to ‘Bloody Samaritan,’ it was a whole different case. She had this beat for six months and she kept begging the producer, ‘London, please don’t give it to anybody. she was sure that she could do this. Ayra Starr was very sure she could work on this beat.’ We know the story of the good Samaritan. Bloody Samaritan is the opposite—people that pretend to be good Samaritans, but they’re hypocrites, then people that judge you and criticize you. So, it’s like, you can’t kill her vibe. Starr is going to do what she wants to do. because Ayra is dangerous. Nobody should come to her with bad energy. In 2021, she presented her four-track Ayra Starr Ep, which gained her a larger following and made her the second most-streamed Nigerian female project at the time of its release.
