Meanwhile, the Grammy-nominated Nigerian also disclosed that she has already prepared her acceptance speech during the chat, saying she is set to receive the award despite stiff competition.
“I have my Grammys speech ready. It is quite long because it is the first African category. I already know my walk, my outfit,” Ayra Starr said.
