For the appearance, Ayra wore a sheer purple off-shoulder dress featuring a thigh-high slit, with her underwear visible beneath the see-through fabric.
The appearance comes during a busy period for Ayra in New York. The singer moved to the city in late 2025 and has incorporated New York into her latest musical era, including “Midnight in New York,” a track from her third album, “Starrgirl.”

The show took place on September 10 as designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne continued Public School’s return to the New York Fashion Week calendar. The label returned to the runway earlier this year after a seven-year absence from the traditional fashion schedule.
21 Savage attended the presentation alongside Carmelo Anthony, having also appeared with the former NBA player at Tommy Hilfiger’s Spring 2027 show earlier that day. Swizz Beatz, Fabolous, Miles Caton, Julez Smith and several NBA players were also among the guests at Public School’s presentation.
Fireboy DML was also photographed at the event, with Public School’s guest list bringing together musicians, athletes and figures from fashion and entertainment.
The Spring/Summer 2027 collection, titled “Living Proof,” marked another stage in Public School’s return under Chow and Osborne. The designers founded the New York label in 2008 and built its aesthetic around the intersection of streetwear, tailoring and New York culture.

Her third album, “Starrgirl,” released on August 14, includes a track titled “Midnight in New York,” which uses the city as the setting for a late-night romance.

Odumodublvck has said he would die for his woman as Christ died for him, in a post linked to his ongoing feud with BlaqBonez over a woman they had both been intimate with.
The rapper’s latest comments come after he revealed on Wednesday that BlaqBonez had called him to say he had previously been in a friends-with-benefits relationship with his girlfriend. Odumodublvck said BlaqBonez contacted him believing he was unaware of their past involvement.
The dispute over the woman has been identified by both rappers as a major part of the breakdown in their former friendship. BlaqBonez previously said that he and the woman had been intimate without him knowing she was also involved with Odumodublvck.
Amid the renewed clash, Odumodublvck wrote on X: “The same way Christ died for my sins, I, Odumodublvck, will die for my woman.”
He described the sentiment as “gangstar love” and “true love,” adding that money cannot buy the bond and that talking strengthens the relationship.
Odumodublvck has continued his public dispute with fellow Nigerian rapper BlaqBonez, accusing him of contacting him to disclose a previous friends-with-benefits relationship with his girlfriend and making further allegations about his conduct.
In a series of posts on X, Odumodublvck claimed BlaqBonez called him with the intention of telling him that he had previously been involved with his girlfriend.
“THIS NIGGA @BlaqBonez BUZZED ME WITH THE INTENTION OF TELLING ME THAT HE WAS FRIENDS WITH BENEFIT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND A LONG TIME AGO, THINKING I AM UNAWARE,” he wrote.
Odumodublvck questioned why BlaqBonez would reveal the information himself rather than allow the woman to decide whether and when to tell him.
“WHO ARE YOU TO TAKE AWAY HER LIBERTY TO TELL ME IF YOU NO WAN SPOIL HER LIFE,” he wrote, before accusing BlaqBonez of threatening, bullying and harassing her.
He also claimed BlaqBonez later contacted him to ask why he had not attended a Jeriq show.
In another post, Odumodublvck alleged that BlaqBonez called again under the guise of checking on his welfare.
“THE IDIOT BUZZ ME SAY E WAN CHECK ON MY WELFARE 😂😂😂,” he wrote.
According to Odumodublvck, BlaqBonez then asked: “WHY YOU DEY VEX FOR ME LIKE THIS? NA BECAUSE OF YOUR BABE? SHE NO TELL YOU WETIN WE BE BEFORE?”
Odumodublvck subsequently challenged BlaqBonez over allegations involving a woman, questioning why he had not taken legal action if he believed he had been falsely accused.
“IF YOU SAY WOMAN FALSELY ACCUSE YOU, YOU SUPPOSE DON SUE THE WOMAN BY NOW,” he wrote. “WHY YOU NEVER SUE AM?”
He then made further allegations about BlaqBonez’s interactions with the police, claiming that the rapper had spent time in a cell, later apologized in writing in the presence of his lawyers, and requested to apologize verbally to the person he was publicly criticizing after being asked to leave a police station.
“RAP BEEF BUT YOU SLEEP FOR CELL,” Odumodublvck wrote. “RAP BEEF BUT YOU DON APOLOGIZE VIA A HANDWRITTEN APOLOGY IN FRONT OF YOUR LAWYERS.”
He also accused BlaqBonez of sexual abuse, repeatedly describing him as a “sexual abuser.” The allegations have not been independently established in the posts.
Odumodublvck framed his response as a defence of his girlfriend, saying he would stand by her regardless of public opinion.
“BASED ON SAY DEM KNOW SAY SOCIETY GO SAY ‘NA BECAUSE OF WOMAN,’” he wrote. “UNFORTUNATELY ME I NO BE SOCIETY.”
“I LOVE MY WOMAN AND I GO DIE FOR AM IF NEED BE,” he added.
Odumodublvck also said that if he had not publicly addressed the matter, it could have remained within the context of their rap dispute.
“IF I DID NOT ACT LIKE THE SO CALLED MAD MAN YOU GUYS SAY I AM, THIS MATTER WILL HAVE GONE UNDER THE RADAR OF RAP BEEF,” he wrote.
He ended one of his posts by suggesting that the artists involved could eventually reunite.
“ONE DAY WE GO ALL ASSEMBLE AGAIN,” he wrote. “TILL THAT DAY. PEACE AND LOVE. 🙏🏿❤️”
The latest allegations follow BlaqBonez’s earlier account that he had been in a friends-with-benefits relationship with the same woman Odumodublvck was dating, without initially knowing that she was in a relationship with the rapper.
Davido has suggested that he could walk away from music following his ongoing exchange with Nigerian rapper Erigga over comments about musicians who come from family money.
The dispute began after Erigga wrote on X: “Shoutout to all the musicians who don’t come from family money and had to grind for every single dollar they earn.”
Davido responded by defending artists who come from wealthy families but still worked to build their careers, calling Erigga’s post “useless motivation” and referring to him as an “imbecile.”
Erigga subsequently criticized Davido’s response, questioning why musicians without family wealth could not celebrate their achievements.
Davido has now returned to the exchange, writing: “No worry o I go soon leave their music for una GO MAKE MY BILLIONS … then that shit gonna be boring AF.”
He followed the post with: “Deep down who like poverty?”
Davido also responded to a user who claimed that without his father’s wealth, he would have been “just another Mr MayD.”
“Says the face of a chimpanzee,” Davido replied.
Davido’s comments come shortly after Nigerian artist Siraheem, who also comes from a wealthy family, announced his decision to step away from music to focus on his other projects.
The latest exchange between Davido and Erigga has brought renewed attention to the relationship between family wealth, music careers and the idea of being self-made in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Erigga has responded to Davido’s criticism of his comments about musicians who built their careers without family money, calling out the singer over his use of the word “imbecile” before escalating their online exchange.
The back-and-forth began after Erigga wrote on X: “Shoutout to all the musicians who don’t come from family money and had to grind for every single dollar they earn.”
Davido responded: “No be we say make your pops no guard o. Shoutout to the ones that came from family money and still grind to the top. Comot here with that your useless motivation … imbecile.”
Erigga subsequently addressed the use of “imbecile,” bringing people with intellectual and developmental disabilities into the conversation.
“Big love to everyone on the spectrum, Down syndrome, autism, etc… it can never be cool to insult people with a disease,” he wrote.
He then returned to the subject of family wealth, questioning why his original shoutout appeared to provoke Davido.
“NA SHOUTOUT TO THE ONES WHEN GET IT OUT THE MUD WITHOUT FAMILY MONEY DEY MAKE DAVID CRASH OUT?” Erigga wrote. “From where to where??”
“Big man pikin dey cry say poor men children de hail dem self???” he added. “Motivate your self naw.”
Erigga went on to label Davido the “Ambassador of RICH KIDS,” asking: “Because ur papa get money make we no happy again for our small wins???”
The rapper also made the dispute more personal, writing: “I’m disappointed IN YOU SLOVIDO.”
“NA ME U WAN BULLY? NA ME U WAN OPPRESS?” he added.
The exchange has since developed into a wider argument over family wealth, privilege and the meaning of being self-made in the Nigerian music industry.
