Celestial Being, Ayra Starr, is the cover girl for the July edition of the Hunger magazine published by British photographer Rankin.
Radiant-looking Ayra is seen on the cover of the publication with sunglasses, wearing a Hugo-branded top and jeans with a silver wig cap. In a related photo, she is seen in an all-black dress with a padlock and keys stringed around her waist with her hand on her cheek.
Noted for wearing mini-skirts, mainly to her performances, her outlook on the cover of the magazine makes her fans appreciate her style from a different perspective.
The publication highlights aspects of Commas hitmaker, who continues to make waves with her latest album, The Year I Turned 21.
Hunger is a biannual magazine launched in November 2011, “born from Rankin’s desire to celebrate the innate drive that we all possess and with a bit of creativity.”

Melodies on the compilation include Birds Sing of Money, Goodbye (Warm Up) ft Asake, Control, Lagos Love Story, Last Heartbreak Song, Bad Vibes.
In a recent interview, Ayra stated that she chose to work with the artistes featured on the album because she had a musical soft spot for each of them.
“Everybody I collaborated with on this album, I genuinely love their sound. I say I’m the creative director of my music because I hear different things and I put different things together,” she stated.
