Social media users have continued to react differently to the apology tendered by Grammy Award-nominated artist, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, popularly known as Ayra Starr, after a video of her seemingly disrespecting the Juju maestro went viral on the internet.
Tribune Online reports that the 21-year-old took to her verified X account on Saturday to apologize after she was captured extending her hands to greet King Sunny Ade at the Afrozobs Pre-Grammy party presented by Heineken.
Apologising over the development, Ayra Starr tweeted, “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.”
Mixed reactions have, however, continued to trail the apology. While some berated her for addressing the music legend as uncle, others praised the “Rush” crooner for owning up to her mistake and tendering an apology.
Reacting to the apology post, @tobijubril wrote, “King sunny Ade is not your uncle he’s your Grandpa.”
Another user, @phanciey tweeted, “You called KSA “Uncle”? You wey never reach 25? God abeg.”
“Point of Correction Sabi girl, KSA is not your “Uncle” He is old enough to be addressed as a “Daddy” Good gesture you apologized btw, Kudos ❤️.” @adxjnr wrote.
“It is disrespect when you called King Sunny Ade an Uncle ok. He is able to father your mother. Be Wise,” Crownprince_Com opined.
Supporting the Mavin act, @Mister_ade5 wrote, “I just knew that you didn’t see him properly and I’m glad you came to clear the air 🥺 Stay safe and love you baby 🫶🏽❤️.”
Another user @TheMahleek tweeted, “Apology & no too much talk, just the way it should be. Soft 🤍.”
“I won’t lie, i was shocked when i saw the video but it’s great you apologized immediately and cleared the air. Love.” @3ffizzzy tweeted.
