Ayra Starr Sparks Debate After Choosing Ghanaian Jollof Over Nigerian Jollof

Nigerian Afrobeat star Ayra Starr has reignited the age-old rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana over jollof rice after revealing her preference for the Ghanaian version.

During an interview on her promotional tour, the “Rush” hitmaker was asked about her favorite Ghanaian meal. Without hesitation, she responded, “I prefer Ghanaian jollof rice to Nigerian jollof rice.”

Her comment has since gone viral, sparking heated debates online. The long-standing feud between the two West African nations revolves around whose jollof rice is superior.

Ghanaian jollof is celebrated for its rich tomato flavor, while Nigerian jollof is known for its smoky taste and unique preparation.

The statement has divided Ayra Starr’s Nigerian fans, with some accusing her of “betrayal” while others defended her right to her opinion. On the other hand, Ghanaians welcomed her with open arms, calling her an honorary Ghanaian and praising her for her “excellent taste.”

Social media platforms have been flooded with memes, debates, and polls as fans from both sides try to settle the never-ending jollof rivalry once again.
