Nigerian music sensation Ayra Starr is making major waves on the global stage, and her latest achievement proves she’s not slowing down. Her hit single “Commas” has just been certified Gold in Canada, a testament to her expanding international reach.
This isn’t her first taste of Canadian success. In 2022, her breakout track “Rush” went Platinum in the country, solidifying her place in the global Afrobeat movement. With “Commas” now following suit, Ayra becomes one of the few Nigerian artists to receive multiple certifications in North America—a rare and impressive feat.

With millions of fans worldwide and a growing collection of international awards and accolades, Ayra Starr is more than a rising star—she’s becoming a global force in music.
