Multi-award winning artist  Ayra Starr discloses that she would never date a fellow musician even in her dreams, despite being a globally acclaimed artist herself. Ayra Starr who is currently 22-year-old made these claims during a recent interview she had with American singer-songwriter and actress Coco Jones for Rolling Stones after Coco sought to find out if the Nigerian star would date someone in the industry.  “Even in the dream world, it wouldn’t be somebody that is in the industry. Probably just like a billionaire. On a yacht. In Dubai. In a thong.”  Talking about her dating life,the artist celebrated the fact that she was single before hitting the limelight, a decision she credits to have helped raise her standards and give her a clear goal of what she wants.  “I’m so happy I was not really dating before I started music,” the 22-year-old artist candidly said. She went on to add, “I didn’t really know what I was missing, so now that I have waited this long to date people I have very high standards and if it is going to be hard to meet it [my standards] then it is going to be bye bye.”  She further noted that  with all things considered she still wasn’t in a space for dating as she barely had free time given her career choice.  “But also, I don’t even have time for myself talk less of a boy.’’ In a previous interview with Dazed Magazine, the Nigerian artist shared she was a lover girl deep in her heart, who had a deep longing to fall in love and experience the type of relationship she has always envisioned.  “I want to fall in love. I wrote ‘Lagos Love Story’ about what love would look like if I was… I’m just very strong-headed about it. I actually have never been in love…I’ve been in certain situations not situationships!—but I’ve never been in a fully committed relationship.”
