Nigerian singer Ayra Starr sparked a heated conversation on social media after speaking out against violence toward women, following the tragic death of Christiana, a 300-level FUNAAB student who was kidnapped and murdered by her own church member. In her heartfelt tweet, Ayra called for justice with the powerful words, “Stop killing us! Stop raping us! Women deserve better.”
While many praised Ayra for her bold stand, not everyone seemed to be on the same page. In a disturbing turn of events, a few male commenters decided to mock her activism. One user sarcastically wrote, “No go wash your mini skirt for show tomorrow,” a comment that took the internet by storm. Instead of focusing on the serious issue Ayra was addressing, trolls fixated on her fashion choices, completely diverting attention from the murder of Christiana.
Fans quickly rushed to Ayra’s defense, with some calling out the comment for its insensitivity. “Why are people so insensitive in the CS?!” one user exclaimed, while another pointed out, “We all deserve better, Oyinkansola,” referring to Ayra Starr’s real name.
However, the backlash only fueled more inappropriate comments, with others arguing that Ayra Starr’s clothing choices somehow undermine her activism. “You self stop wearing short skirts, it matters too,” another user quipped, sparking outrage among her supporters.
Ayra, who has been a vocal advocate for women’s rights, has yet to respond directly to the controversial comments, but her message remains clear: the focus should be on justice for Christiana, not on trivial distractions like her wardrobe.
Despite the noise, her tweet has garnered over a million views, showing that her fight for justice is resonating with many, even if some are missing the point.
