Nigerian Afrobeats star Ayra Starr gave a special performance of her new hit song Hot Body during a Coldplay concert in Miami, with football legend Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo in the audience.
Ayra Starr, whose real name is Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, joined the famous British band as part of their 2025 world tour stop in the lively city of Miami, USA.
Her performance quickly went viral on social media, with many fans sharing videos of the exciting moment. Ayra also celebrated the moment on her official X account, writing:
“I just performed Hot Body on stage with Coldplay!! And Messi was in the audience.”
Messi and his wife later shared pictures from the concert, where they attended with their children.
Ayra Starr has been gaining worldwide attention recently, especially after signing a major deal with Roc Nation, the global entertainment company.
This isn’t the first time Nigerian Afrobeats stars have made headlines at global events. Tems, another big name in the genre, also performed at the FIFA Club World Cup halftime show, watched by millions, including former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Ayra’s performance is another proud moment for Afrobeats music and shows how Nigerian talent continues to shine on the world stage.
