On July 15, 2025, Nigerian music star Ayra Starr was announced as a new signee to Roc Nation, the entertainment powerhouse founded by Jay-Z, prompting speculation about her status with Mavin Records. Contrary to rumors, Ayra Starr remains a leading artist under Mavin Records, one of Africa’s biggest music labels.
Her partnership with Roc Nation is expected to be a distribution deal, similar to that of artists like Megan Thee Stallion, aimed at boosting her global presence, particularly in the U.S. and European markets. The deal is poised to facilitate high-profile collaborations, strategic branding, and broader industry reach, while she continues her affiliation with Mavin Records.
