Ayra Starr has made history, becoming the first Nigerian female artist to surpass 1 billion total views on YouTube. Her achievement cements her place among Afrobeats icons such as Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Rema, and Fireboy.

At the heart of her streaming success is Rush, her Grammy-nominated hit single, which has garnered over 450 million views on YouTube. The song holds the record as the most-viewed Afrobeats music video by a Nigerian female artist and remains one of the genre’s most globally recognized visuals.

Since its release in September 2022, Rush has dominated international streaming charts, earning Ayra Starr a platinum certification in the UK. She became the first Nigerian female artist to debut a solo track on the UK Official Top 100 chart.

In 2025, she continued her meteoric rise with Gimme Dat, a collaboration with Wizkid released on April 25. The track blends elements of Wyclef Jean’s classics Diallo and 911 with modern Afrobeats sounds.
