Meaning of My Lower Back Tattoo - Ayra Starr Finally Reveals

Nigerian singer Ayra Starr is now 21 years old and as big as she has gotten in her career, she is still of course her mother's daughter and a Nigerian girl. The mixture of these things means that there are still some things she cannot do now out of respect to her mother, and some things she has done that her mother has raised brows about. During Ayra Starr's press run this month, she has talked about a number of these moments including how her mother reacts to some of her more raunchy lyrics, her spending, and also, she finally explains why she got the tattoos she got. Here's what Ayra Starr said.

Speaking about her mother's thoughts on some of her lyrics, and some fashion choices she had to undo because of her mum, Ayra Starr said:

AYRA STARR: My mum is going to be blunt [about my music]. She'll be like "Ah ah, must you say that one? Ha! Must you swear? Why are you saying that? You're a child of God oh!" [laughs]. I pierced my nose two months ago, ask me where the piercing is now. My mom talked me out of that piercing. Everytime she'll see me, she'll say "I don't even want to see. I don't even want to see it."

Speaking also about how her mother feels about her spending, Ayra said:

AYRA STARR: There's this bag I want. It's not like I cannot afford it oh. It's just that if I try it, my mom! So I want to be able to get to a point where she doesn't care about what I spend. But if I try it now, she's going to be like "Ehn? You spent this on a bag?" My mum is very much a Nigerian mom.

Speaking about her tattoos, and why she got them, Ayra Starr revealed saying:

AYRA STARR: I have two tattoos. I have one on my back. The one on my side is supposed to be a cross but the tattoo artiste wasn't that great so it looks like an addition sign, it looks like a plus. Then I have wings on my back because like celestial being, I am a celestial being y'know. I see myself as a star. Just a star.
