The 21-year-old music star also explained the differences between the two countries' jollof rice traditions.
When asked which country's jollof rice she enjoys more, Ayra Starr said:
"Ghanaian jollof".
"I mean they are both really amazing. I grew up with Nigerian jollof rice. Nigerian jollof is practically called party rice, so people eat it at parties. It is like a celebratory food."
"The culture around it is that they usually use a big pot to cook it outside, so it kind of burns and it is smoky. So it is smoky jollof rice, that is what it is called. Ghanaian jollof rice has like things inside but for Nigerian jollof, the protein, vegetables are outside if you are having anything else. So it is two different vibes."
