Ayra Starr Prioritizes Intelligence Over Looks in Love: “Motivation Matters More Than Appearance”

Afrobeats sensation Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, widely known as Ayra Starr, has opened up about what truly attracts her in a romantic partner—hinting that physical appearance isn’t a top priority.

In a candid interview with media personality Diana Eneje, the ‘All The Love’ singer emphasized that intelligence and drive hold far more weight than looks when it comes to relationships.

“I don’t ever have a physical type. I am just attracted to intelligent people. Just be very intelligent. That’s the Gemini in me speaking,” Ayra Starr explained.

She added that mutual motivation is a key factor in any connection: “Just be intelligent, motivate me, let me also motivate you. Let’s be motivating ourselves to make money. Looks don’t really matter.”

The revelation sheds light on the singer’s personal approach to relationships, highlighting a preference for partners who can inspire growth and ambition rather than fitting a conventional idea of attractiveness.
