Ayra Starr explains her plans for the day if she were elected president.

Ayra Starr, the afrobeat sensation, has sparked a contentious online debate about gender roles by sharing what she would do for women if she were to temporarily become president.

The singer, who is well-known for her vocal support of the feminist cause, discussed her goals in an interview that went viral on Thursday, March 7, 2024, after learning that her song Rush was on former US President Barack Obama’s playlist.

When asked what she would do if granted the presidency for a day, Ayra responded emphatically, stating, “If I was president for a day, I will make sure women don’t have to pay for anything. No woman has to pay for anything, everything free. All the bags, all the jewelry, food. Women and children won’t have to pay for anything.“

However, her declaration drew criticism from male fans who expressed their displeasure in the comments section.

Ayra’s bold stance on gender equality has sparked a contentious discussion, highlighting differing perspectives on the issue of women’s rights and entitlements in society. While some applaud her commitment to advocating for women’s empowerment, others have questioned the feasibility and implications of her proposed policies.

As the conversation continues to unfold online, Ayra Starr’s outspoken advocacy for gender equality showcases the ongoing struggle for equal rights and opportunities for women in Nigeria and beyond.
