During a recent Fenty event in the United States, Rihanna, the American singer and entrepreneur, expressed her interest in collaborating with Nigerian artists Tems and Ayra Starr.
Ayra Starr, the Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer, was among the guests at the event, where she had the opportunity to meet Rihanna, the owner of the multi-billion dollar beauty brand.
As they exchanged pleasantries, Rihanna asked Ayra Starr if she had collaborated with Tems yet, to which Ayra Starr replied, "Not yet but soon."
Rihanna wasted no time in expressing her desire to work with Ayra Starr and Tems. "You got an extra verse for me? Call me," Rihanna offered to Ayra Starr.
The possibility of a collaboration between Ayra Starr, Tems, and Rihanna has sparked excitement on social media, particularly since Rihanna has not released music in quite some time.
Rihanna's last release was the 2022 track 'Lift Me Up,' featured on the 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' soundtrack, which was co-written by Tems.
Both Tems and Ayra Starr have announced that they will be releasing new albums in 2024. During her recent Coachella performance, Tems revealed that her album was ready and even performed an unreleased track from it, sampling Seyi Sodimu's classic single 'Love Me Jeje.'
Fans are eagerly anticipating the possibility of a collaboration between Tems and Ayra Starr on their upcoming albums, and perhaps, a surprise feature from Rihanna as well.
