Videos have emerged of Ayra Starr at a performance in Hamburg, Germany, where the highlight of her performance was a kind gesture that was obviously unplanned. In the circulated video, which took place on November 26, the hitmaker is seen leaving the stage to meet directly with her fans while singing her hit song, “Rush.”
In the video, the singer steps off stage and sings with fans, holding hands and taking selfies with them. Then, she sees a physically challenged lady in a wheelchair nodding to the music, and proceeds to her, squatting before her and singing the concluding lines of the song.
This compassionate act displayed by the star has left netizens in their emotions, with many praising Ayra Starr for her kindness. This is because, quite often, physically challenged people who attend concerts rarely attention. Starr’s effort to meet with the lady shows that all concertgoers matter, regardless of their physical abilities. It also teaches us the importance of showing acts of kindness to everyone, especially those who are less fortunate than us. This emotional moment was undeniably the highlight of Ayra Starr’s Hamburg concert.
“Rush” is a 2021 song from Ayra Starr’s “19 and Dangerous” album. The song was a frequent feature on charts around the world and even made it to Barack Obama’s summer playlist of 2023. Rush gives a metaphor of a water tap running, which signifies progress in Nigeria. In it, the persona is a victim of people enquiring if her “tap” is functional. In the chorus, she affirms that it’s not only running, but rushing: “e dey rush well well.”
