RENOWNED French Disc Jockey (DJ) and record producer, David Guetta has referred to Nigerian music star, Ayra Starr as the new version of American superstar, Rihanna.
The Frenchman made this known during a recent interview with Cool FM Nigeria, Lagos, via Skype, in which he noted that Ayra Starr has the potential to attract a global audience.
He said: “When people speak about Ayra Starr in the industry, a lot of us see her as the new Rihanna. Because she comes with her vibe that is very specific because of where she’s coming from. But she has the potential of crossing over into different cultures.
“Since we recorded, she is having even more hits. It’s crazy. I’m French. I was in Paris, and everyone was talking about her. I was shocked like, ‘This is amazing. An African artiste that’s killing it in Europe, killing it in the U.S., it’s not every day. Last time I saw it was working with Akon."
David Guetta recently worked with Ayra Starr and American rapper, Lil Durk on his latest song, ‘Big Fu.’
