Nigerian Afrobeats sensations Rema and Ayra Starr have reignited dating speculation after sharing a brief kiss on stage at the Global Citizen Festival in New York over the weekend.
Starr, one of the night’s headliners, surprised the crowd when she introduced Rema midway into her set. The duo flirted and exchanged smiles as they delivered back-to-back performances of Rema’s global smash Calm Down featuring Selena Gomez, and his track Baby.
The high-energy collaboration reached its peak when the pair shared a kiss, sending fans into a frenzy and prompting loud cheers across the venue.
This is not the first time romance rumours have trailed the stars. Ayra Starr has previously dismissed speculation, describing Rema as her “brother in Christ.” However, their latest display has reignited the conversation online, with fans debating whether the chemistry on stage reflects something more.
Neither Rema nor Ayra Starr has publicly addressed the rumours since the performance, leaving fans eager for clarity as clips of the moment continue to circulate across social media.
