Afrobeats star Ayra Starr has revealed that there’s a specific part of her latest collaboration with Wizkid, “Gimme Dat,” she hopes her mother never hears. The track features a daring second verse where Ayra boldly sings about commanding a man to let her “survey” his private parts, a line that has sparked both praise and controversy.
In the song, Ayra expresses how many men admire her for the wrong reasons, but rather than being bothered, she transforms their attention into her own power. She sings, “So many people wan lick my stew, so baby chill make I survey your tools… and if I handle your 2 by 2, you fit to scream, you go lose your cool.” The lyrics are direct and unapologetic, leading to mixed reactions from listeners. Some fans appreciate the boldness and creativity, while others feel the lyrics are too explicit.
Ayra’s candid approach to discussing her sexuality has led to debates about the role of women in music and how they express themselves. While some argue that the lyrics are empowering and reflect a shift toward more freedom of expression, others believe they may be too explicit for mainstream consumption.
Despite the attention the verse has garnered, Ayra Starr took to her social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), to humorously express her concern. She wrote, “Hopefully, my mom never listens to my second verse,” suggesting that while she embraces her artistic expression, there’s still a line she doesn’t want to cross in front of her family.
