Grammy-nominated artist Ayra Starr has revealed that she intentionally avoided romantic relationships during her school years to protect her image.

The 23-year-old Mavin Records star shared that she refrained from dating to prevent being labeled as someone’s ex once she rose to fame.

In a candid interview with Quenlin Blackwell, Ayra admitted she was always cautious about people’s motives when they approached her.

“I didn’t date in school because I didn’t want to be remembered as anyone’s ex. Guys would try, but I questioned their intentions—why me? It felt like they had hidden agendas,” she explained.

The rising star also opened up about her current dating preferences, emphasizing that intelligence and depth matter more to her than looks.
