Ayra Starr Thanks MOB-STARS as She Closes 2025 With Gratitude

Afrobeats star Ayra Starr has sent a heartfelt message of thanks to her most loyal fans, the ones who have consistently streamed her music and supported her career all year.

Her appreciation comes at a time when streaming platforms around the world rolled out their year-end summaries. For Ayra Starr, this wasn’t just a passing shout-out.

This acknowledgement also comes at a pivotal moment, as she wraps up a year defined by major milestones, she remains Nigeria’s most-streamed female artist on Spotify, and earlier this year became the first African female artist to surpass 5 million followers on that platform.  She also had a breakout streaming success with her hit “Santa,” which pulled in more than 800 million plays, a testament to her growing global reach.

By personally thanking her top listeners, Ayra Starr underscored how critical her fanbase has been to her success. It’s a meaningful gesture that highlights the bond between artist and audience — a bond built on loyalty, consistent support, and shared love for her music.

Her note of appreciation feels especially potent given how far she’s come. What started as breakout singles and burgeoning popularity has turned into global recognition, digital-first achievements, and a fanbase that now spans continents. This moment of gratitude isn’t simply about looking back — it’s a statement that she values her fans as partners in her rise.
