I just let them be – Ayra Starr on how she deals with internet trolls

Nigerian music sensation, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, professionally known as Ayra Starr has recently opened up about her approach to dealing with social media trolls.

Speaking in an exclusive interview on Cool FM, the young artist, known for her chart-topping hits, revealed her laid-back attitude towards negative comments on social media, emphasizing that she let them be.

“I read stuff and I see stuff, and if it’s bad, I just let them be. I feel like I’m in my ‘let them be’ era and stage. But if it’s stupid, I just block,” she said.

According to the ‘Rush’ hitmaker, she has come a long way, and has come to understand how social media works better over time. Ayra Starr also touched on the occasional moments of responding to trolls, saying that it was more for fun and entertainment than a result of anger.

“I’ve grown so much, and I know that my attention gives things value, so I don’t rate people.

“I feel like I had an era on Twitter just three months ago where I was responding to trolls. Not because I was angry, I was just having fun. I was on my bed with my legs in the sky responding to them. I just let them and I don’t keep things in my mind because I won’t remember in like three hours,” she added.
