‘The Year I Turned 21’ is due to feature 14 tracks, and will include guest features from the likes of Asake, Anitta and Coco Jones, Giveon, Seyi Vibez and Milar. The album has already been previewed by last year’s ‘Rhythm & Blues’ and February’s ‘Commas’.
Ayra Starr most recently teamed up with Rvssian and Rauw Alejandro on ‘Santa’ in early April, and with Aya Nakamura on ‘Hypé’ in March.
Ayra Starr’s 2021 debut album ’19 & Dangerous’ scored a four-star review from NME‘s Sophie Williams upon its release. Williams wrote: “There’s a real allure to Starr’s world of magic, determination, and confidence, which she explores and inhabits as ‘19 & Dangerous’ progresses. The surging and euphoric ‘Fashion Killa’ showcases it best, with lyrics that channel the energy of a big night out over a joyous, strobe-lit beat. The track exemplifies how the strength of Starr’s self-belief is the album’s true quality: balancing a sensitive kind of pop with proud, flawless bravado.”

It's no secret that DJ Akademiks and Saucy Santana don't get along, and a new lawsuit brought against the former has only upped the ante. Yesterday, DJ Akademiks' ex-girlfriend Ziya Abashe sued him, accusing him of rape, sexual assault, defamation, and more. Ak has since denied any wrongdoing, calling the lawsuit a "shakedown."
Saucy Santana decided to chime in on the allegations during an Instagram Live rant last night, dubbing Ak a "freaky b*tch." He also reminded the personality that when serious allegations were made against Santana's close friend Yung Miami, Akademiks didn't hold back. He instead taunted the City Girl online, even accusing her of snitching on Diddy. Of course, this rubbed Santana the wrong way, and Akademiks' new lawsuit is an opportunity for him to fire back.
At the time of writing, DJ Akademiks' Instagram profile appears to have been deactivated, leaving Saucy Santana confused. According to the "Material Girl" performer, Yung Miami never deactivated her account amid Ak's relentless criticism. In a new clip, Saucy Santana questions why he decided to deactivate, urging him to get back online to face his current circumstances. "Where yo page?" Saucy Santana asks. "You was on here every day messing with Caresha, she ain't deactivate. I'm looking for Akademiks' page... 'We're sorry.' Uh uh! Bring that a** here, boy. You should have deactivated when you was messing with that lady, got that lady drunk, on top of that lady and all of that. Ew, nasty."
He went on, further clowning Akademiks for the disturbing allegations made against him in the new lawsuit. What do you think of Saucy Santana calling out DJ Akademiks for deactivating his Instagram account? What about Akademiks' ex suing him?
