Sarah Oyinkansola Aderibigbe, popularly known as Ayra Starr, has officially passed 1 billion total views on YouTube, making her the first Nigerian female artist to reach this record.
The Mavin Records singer’s milestone is driven by the global success of her single hit “Rush,” which alone was over 458 million views on the platform as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday.
This new achievement places the 22-year-old singer popularly known as “Sabi Girl” alongside Nigerian heavyweights Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Rema, Omah Lay, Kizz Daniel, Tekno, P-Square, Flavour, and Fireboy DML, who have each surpassed the 1 billion YouTube views mark.
