Ayra Starr poised to make her acting debut.

Afrobeats global sensation Ayra Starr has joined the expanding list of music singers venturing into Nigeria's film industry, Nollywood.


The 22-year-old Grammy-nominated artist will make her acting debut in Prime Video's original 'Christmas In Lagos'.
Teniola Aladese, Shalom C. Obiago, Rayxia Ojo, Shaffy Bello, and Adekunle Gold co-star in the romantic comedy.

It follows newly broken-hearted Fiyin (Aladese), who believes her best friend, Elo (Obiago), is the love of her life.

The film was shot in Lagos and directed by Jadesola Osiberu.


"For me, Ayra Starr embodies what it means to be young, female, courageous, brave, and fearless - simply being yourself. "She was on the list from the beginning," Osiberu told Variety.

Other musicians making cameo appearances in the film include Wurld and Liya, and the soundtrack includes songs by famous singer Sunny Ade, Afrobeats superstars Flavour and D'banj, and more.
