Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr is celebrating another major win in her rising global career after earning her second Grammy nomination.
The Mavin Records star took to her Instagram Story on Monday, November 10, 2025, to share her excitement with a confident post that simply read, “2x Grammy Nominee.”
This comes shortly after the Recording Academy announced the nominees for the 2026 Grammy Awards, where Ayra Starr secured a nomination in the Best African Music Performance category for her viral collaboration with Wizkid titled Gimme Dat.
Ayra Starr first made Grammy history in 2024 when her breakout hit Rush earned her a nomination in the same category, making her the youngest Nigerian female artist to ever receive the honor. Her second nod not only cements her place among Africa’s top global exports but also highlights her growing influence in shaping the international sound of Afrobeats.
Fans across social media have flooded her mentions with congratulatory messages, hailing her as one of the defining female voices of the new Afrobeats generation. With her music continuing to break barriers and reach new audiences, Ayra Starr’s Grammy recognition is yet another reflection of her steady climb on the world stage.
The 2026 Grammy Awards are set to hold on Sunday, February 1, 2026, in Los Angeles, where the singer will be vying for one of music’s most prestigious honors.
