Ayra Starr has openly confessed that she hopes her mother avoids listening to the second verse of her latest collaboration with Wizkid, “Gimme Dat.”
In this verse, the Afrobeats singer boldly addresses surveying a man’s private parts, a statement that has stirred mixed reactions among listeners.
The controversial lyrics, which sample Wyclef Jean and Mary J. Blige’s 2000 hit “911,” include the lines, “So many people wan lick my stew, so baby chill make I survey your tools… and if I handle your 2 by 2, you fit to scream, you go lose your cool.”
The verse portrays Ayra Starr’s confidence in flipping attention from men into a source of power.
According to Daily Post, while the track has gained praise for its boldness and artistic flair, some listeners have found the lyrics too raw.
In response to the reactions, Ayra Starr took to her X handle on Saturday, humorously writing, “Hopefully my mom never listens to my second verse.”
The singer’s candid acknowledgment of the controversy highlights the provocative nature of her lyrics.
