Afrobeats global sensation, Ayra Starr has joined the growing list of pop stars to venture into the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood.
The 22-year-old Grammy-nominated diva is set to make her acting debut in Prime Video's original 'Christmas In Lagos'.
The romantic comedy also stars Teniola A. Aladese, Shalom C. Obiago, Rayxia Ojo and Shaffy Bello, and Adekunle Gold.
It follows recently heartbroken Fiyin (Aladese), who's convinced her best friend, Elo (Obiago), is the love of her life.
The movie was filmed in Lagos and directed by Jadesola Osiberu.
"For me, Ayra Starr represents what it means to be young and female and daring and brave and fearless - just being yourself. She was on the list from day one," Osiberu told Variety.
Other musicians making cameos in the film include Wurld and Liya, while the soundtrack features songs from legendary musician, Sunny Ade, Afrobeats icons, Flavour and D'banj, and more.
