Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr is making a grand entrance into Hollywood as she secures a role in the highly anticipated film adaptation of Children of Blood and Bone.
The Rush hitmaker will star alongside an elite cast, including Academy Award winner Viola Davis, Tony Award-winning actress Cynthia Erivo, and Golden Globe nominee Idris Elba. This marks a major milestone in her career, transitioning from music superstardom to the global film industry.
The announcement comes just months after Ayra Starr made her Nollywood debut, proving her versatility as an entertainer. She now joins a growing list of Nigerian musicians who have successfully crossed into acting, including Simi, Yemi Alade, Tiwa Savage, Falz, Banky W, and Reminisce.
Her involvement in Children of Blood and Bone, an adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s best-selling novel, is expected to introduce her to a worldwide audience beyond music. Fans and critics are already buzzing about what she will bring to the big screen.
