When I was 14, my Muslim teacher prophesied that Mavin Records would sign me – Ayra Starr Revealed (Video)
Well known Nigerian artist and lyricist Ayra Starr has described how one of her auxiliary teachers forecasted when she was 14 years of age that she will one day be endorsed by Mavin Records.
The celebrity made it clear that she went to a Deeper Life School, where she was constantly criticized for breaking the rules.
Talking during the most recent episode of the Afrobeats Insight webcast facilitated by Joey Akan, the Mavin underwriter said that two of her male educators urge her to genuinely take her enthusiasm for singing.
The singer behind “Sability” claimed that her Muslim mathematics instructor not only advised her to join the choir but also predicted that Mavin Records would sign her in the future.

She revealed that Don Jazzy, Mavin’s boss, messaged her when she posted a video of herself singing on social media when she was 16 years old.
She said; “I went to a very religious school even though I was not from a religious family. I went to a Deeper Life school. It was a shock but I learned how to live with it. They [some of the teachers] used to beat me. I grew up in a household where we are allowed to speak our truth and ask questions. I can remember they [my teachers in school] will tell me like oh women are not allowed to wear trousers. I will be like, that’s not true. God did not say that. They will be like, ‘What do you know, you this small girl?’.
“I have a teacher that literally inspired me. He literally said I was going to be signed to Mavin. I was like 14 then and he was like, Mavin is going to sign you, start making videos. And he would just inspire me when I’m singing in school, he would be like, oh sing in the choir. And he was even Muslim but he would tell me to go to church and join the choir.”
