“My loves, I’ve been performing almost every day since October. Of course, my voice is strained,” the ‘Bloody Samaritan’ singer tweeted.

‘Bloody Samaritan’ received positive reception for its message and production. It peaked at number one on Nigeria’s TurnTable Top 50, making Ayra Starr the first female artist in the history of the chart to reach number one with a solo song.

Signed to Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records, the 19-year-old caught the attention of the Nigerian audience with the release of her debut hit, ‘Away’, early this year.

In August, she released her debut album, 19 and Dangerous, which earned her the number 2 spot on Billboard’s Next Big Sound chart in the same month.
