The music icon, known for her unique voice and hit songs like “Away” and “Rush,” is now set to make her mark on the silver screen, bringing her unique talent to the international stage.
The film, based on the popular fantasy novel by Tomi Adeyemi, has generated a lot of curiosities due to its compelling story of magic, oppression, and resilience in a fictional West African inspired world.
Ayra Starr will star alongside an incredible cast of Hollywood legends, including Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis, Emmy-nominated Cynthia Erivo, and Golden Globe nominee Idris Elba.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Ayra as she enters the world of Hollywood.
Ayra’s transition into acting comes just a few months after she dipped her toes into Nollywood, Nigeria’s thriving film industry.
Her involvement in Children of Blood and Bone is just one example of how Nigerian artists are increasingly making waves in international entertainment.
This great news shows how talented Nigerian artists are as many other Nigerian artists like Simi, Yemi Alade, Tiwa Savage, Falz, Banky W, and Reminisce have already made their own marks in the film industry.
