Afrobeats continues to take over the global stage, and Ayra Starr is leading the charge! Her song “Memories” has made a surprise feature as a soundtrack in Marvel’s latest animated series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, marking another massive crossover moment for African music.
Seeing an Afrobeats anthem in a Spider-Man project would have been unimaginable years ago, but times have changed, and Ayra Starr is at the forefront of this cultural shift. The track comes from her latest album, The Year I Turned 21, a deeply personal, genre-blending project that highlights her artistic growth.
Since her rise to fame under Mavin Records, Ayra Starr has solidified herself as one of Afrobeats’ biggest stars. Her breakout hit “Rush” earned over 370 million Spotify streams and a Grammy nomination for Best African Music Performance. She followed it up with “Sability”, which topped charts and even landed on Barack Obama’s summer playlist.
With multiple BET and Headies nominations, global collaborations, and now a Marvel placement, Ayra Starr is proving that Afrobeats is unstoppable—and she’s just getting started.
