The ‘Away’ crooner took to social media on Tuesday to counter the claims that she cannot sing. She also explained why her voice appears to be “strained” recently.
“My lovesss, I’ve been performing almost every day since October, of course, my voice is strained, I be human being,” she wrote.

“So please dead that Ayra Starr cannot sing bs, dead it fast fast. It’s all talent and grace here baby,” she added.
