Ayra Starr Shines Bright on “The Tonight Show” With an Electrifying Performance

Ayra Starr’s performance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, was absolutely incredible in every sense of the word! The Nigerian singer performed a medley of her hits “Last Heartbreak Song” and “Woman Commando” from her sophomore album “The Year I Turned 21“. Her soulful voice and captivating stage presence left me speechless.
What struck me most was her confidence and charisma on stage. She owned the moment, and her energy was infectious. The way she transitioned from the soulful “Last Heartbreak Song” to the energetic “Woman Commando” was seamless and showcased her impressive vocal range.
The choreography that came with her “Woman Commando” performance was the highlight of the day. Beautiful rendition it was!
Ayra Starr’s performance was not only a testament to her talent but also a milestone for Afrobeats globally. She joins an elite group of Nigerian artists who have graced The Tonight Show stage, including Wizkid, Tems, CKay, Burna Boy, Asake, and Rema.
Watching her perform, I couldn’t help but feel proud of how far she’s come. From her debut EP in 2021 to her recent Grammy nomination, Ayra Starr’s rise to fame is a true inspiration. Her music and message are reaching a global audience, and I have no doubt she’ll continue to break barriers and push the boundaries of Afrobeats.

“Kai!” by Olamide & Wizkid: A Nigerian Musical Masterpiece of Swagger, Soul, and Cinematic Vibes

When Olamide and Wizkid team up, it’s more than just another collaboration, it’s an event. The result is bound to be monumental. With Kai!, the duo has delivered not just a song, but a full-on experience. From catchy lyrics to a music video that looks like a blend of West African royalty and retro British theatre, Kai! is a visual delight and a pleasing sound.
The Lyrics: Confidence, Wealth, and Appreciation in Every Line
Olamide kicks off the track like a man who knows exactly who he is:
“Mr. Bombastic, Mr. Romantic, Mr. Fantastic…”
He’s not just rapping—he’s narrating his lifestyle with suave. But it’s not all bravado. Midway through, Olamide slows it down to admire the beauty of a woman in a way that’s both poetic and playful:
“See your body, baby—na God take e time create you.” Then he ends with the exclamation “Kai”
It’s a tender word that praises the woman’s body appreciating her beauty. It’s a compliment that feels elevated, respectful, and smooth—a perfect bridge between street talk and romance.
If you are trying hard to woo a woman, continuously sing this part of the song for her and with time you will see her dancing to your tune.
Wizkid follows with his signature laid-back flow, crooning:
“It’s too easy ‘cause the money surplus / Na money dey stop long talk…”
Wizzy’s contribution is all vibes, all groove. He’s flexing wealth and calm confidence, delivering his lines with the kind of charisma that made him the global star he is. It’s the type of verse that sounds just as good when it’s whispered into your ear through your headphones at 2 a.m. as it does blasting from a rooftop party in Lagos.
Once she begins to dance to your tune, add wizkid‘s line where he talks about the supplication of money, trust me you have gotten yourself a woman.
The hook, “Kai!” echoes like a reaction you can’t help but feel there is this indescribable sweetness attached to it, that you can’t wait to say it. It’s a wordless exclamation packed with energy, and it punches through the track like fire. It’s one of those hooks that’ll have you singing long after the song ends.

The Visuals: Theater, Elegance & Subtle Flexes
Directed by Jyde Ajala, the Kai! video is a true aesthetic trip. The opening feels like a movie show that flows into music. Think grand theater meets Afro-urban glamour. Rich red curtains, vintage set pieces, warm golden lighting, it’s all designed to evoke luxury, nostalgia, and class. The stage feels intimate but regal, like something out of a West End musical where every detail has meaning.
Olamide and Wizkid’s fashion tells its own story. Baddo shows off range—corporate power suit one moment, jersey swagger the next. Wizkid leans fully into minimal, stylish streetwear that balances his global star status with local swag.
Their synergy in style and presence enhances the storytelling. Background dancers appear in clean formations, moving in synchronization to the beat. Every camera pan, every lighting cue, feels intentional. Even the props used, rotary phones, heavy drapes, retro furniture, add texture and mood, giving viewers a visual treat that matches the song’s rich sound.
Why You Should Watch Kai! Right Now
If you’re a fan of lyrics that land, visuals that linger, and collaborations that actually hit, Kai! is your new favorite. You hear that flavorful sound the trumpet adds to the song, it’s fire, it brings out the Afro fusion in the music.
“Kai” is energy, its culture, it’s beauty and chemistry added to music.
The FC and Baddo fans are already flooding the comments with praise, and honestly? They’re not wrong.
Don’t be left out in the flow, watch Kai!—and feel every second of it.

Ayra Starr & Wizkid’s “Gimme Dat” Honest Review

Let’s talk honestly.
When Ayra Starr and Wizkid dropped “Gimme Dat,” we all expected magic. And why not? Two of the most gifted voices in Afrobeats coming together on a track, that’s enough to make anyone sit up. So did it deliver?
Yes… and maybe a little no.
The Vibe? Sweet. Smooth. Easy on the ears.
“Gimme Dat” has pure vibes. The kind of song you want to play with the windows down or on a quiet night when you just want to feel good.
The production is clean, soft drums, mellow rhythm, a nice throwback sample from Wyclef’s “911,” and everything flows. Ayra’s voice? Beautiful as ever. Wiz? Smooth, mature, effortless.
You can hear the chemistry. They’re not trying too hard. It feels like two people are just enjoying each other’s energy. And that’s what makes it work.
But let’s be real, it played a little too safe.
For a collab this big, you kind of expect something more bold. More fire. More oomph. Instead, it stays calm, No doubt it’s a lovely song, but it doesn’t really hit you in the chest or stick in your head like you’d expect from these two.
It’s the type of track you enjoy while it’s on maybe even replay once or twice, but after a few days, it might fade into the background unless you’re a die-hard fan.
Still, it’s a win in its own way.
“Gimme Dat” is grown, it’s sexy, and it shows how much Ayra Starr has evolved. She’s no longer the rookie. She held her own beside Wizkid, and that alone deserves applause.
Wizkid, on the other hand, did what he always does, ride the beat, stay cool, and never lose his magic touch. But honestly, we’ve seen more daring sides of him in the past.
Conclusion
“Gimme Dat” isn’t a bad song, not even close. It’s just not explosive. It’s soft, sensual, and mature. The kind of song you grow to appreciate with time, not one that grabs you on first listen.
But if you’re in the mood for something chill and smooth, this is your jam.
Rating: 7.5/10
Smooth ride, but we expected a little more from such a powerful combo.
