In a recent interview with Munch Music, Ayra Starr expressed how much Rema inspires her. She mentioned that among all the famous people she knows, Rema stands out as someone who continually motivates her. She described him not just as a friend, but also as a brother who has been in the industry longer and knows how to navigate it.

Ayra Starr said, “Out of all the famous people I know, who would I say is my closest friend? I would say somebody that keeps inspiring me. And he’s such a good friend of mine and a brother. I wouldn’t say mentor but he’s somebody that’s doing the same thing I’m doing but at the same time, he has been here before me. And he knows how to move and he keeps inspiring me. It’s Rema. Shoutout to Rema. That’s my GOAT. That’s my guy. That’s my friend.”
