Nigerian artist Oyinkansola Aderibigbe, widely known as Ayra Starr, has made history by becoming the first Nigerian woman to receive a prestigious RIAA Diamond single certification for her hit song “Santa.” At just 22 years old, Ayra Starr achieved her first RIAA Latin Diamond Certification for the track, which features Puerto Rican artist Rauw Alejandro and Jamaican singer Rvssian.
The RIAA Diamond Certification is awarded to artists whose songs have sold over 10 million copies in the United States. Ayra Starr’s “Santa” topped the charts, and her fans expressed their admiration for both the song’s lyrics and its captivating tone. One fan, @afholashade, celebrated the milestone, commenting:
“The first African woman to do so.”
Known for her unique fashion and vocal talent, Ayra Starr delighted her fans as she showcased her keyboard skills and singing abilities. Disc jockey Florence Otedola, also known as Cuppy, praised Ayra for her pure talent.
