Twenty-two-year-old Grammy-nominated diva Ayra Starr has joined the list of pop stars to delve into the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood.

The Afrobeat sensation will make her acting debut in Prime Video‘s original ‘Christmas In Lagos’.

The romantic comedy stars Teniola A. Aladese, Shalom C. Obiago, Rayxia Ojo, 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’s director, Jadesola Osiberu, said in an interview, “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.”

Other musicians featured in the film include Wurld and Liya. The soundtrack features songs from legendary musician Sunny Ade, Afrobeats icons Flavour and D’banj, and more.

How do RMD and Shaffy Bello always get these big roles? Another person who always feature in big-bucket films is Sola Sobowale. Unfortunately, she wasn't cast in this film.

How do they do it? There must be something they are getting right. Don't quote me to write nonsense if you don't know the answer to my question.
