Nigerian singer, Ayra Starr has apologised for not greeting legendary Juju musician, King Sunny Ade (KSA) properly.

The singer’s gesture was described as uncultured, with one X user, @_AsiwajuLerry, writing: “The fact that Ayra Starr is a Yoruba girl makes this quite disrespectful no matter how you spin it.

“She must not go on her knees but a simple knee gesture would do. The man even bowed his head out of respect for the person he’s shaking and she was there standing like a shigidi.”

Ayra Starr issued a public apology.

She wrote “I’m so sorry, I had just walked in and all the lights and nerves didn’t let me see but i came back around to greet everyone properly, I have never been that girl to be disrespectful, I’m a proper Yoruba girlllll and the video didn’t start until after I’d greeted burna’s mom! I’m very sorry to the legend, uncle and King Sunny Ade.”
