<h2>Nigerian singer Ayra Starr recently shared how cooking Nigerian meals plays a vital role in her life, especially while on the road.</h2>

<p>The singer, who has always been open about her love for Nigerian food, especially yam and egg, stressed that while on the road she prefers home-cooked meals. Speaking during an interactive sit down with fellow singer <strong>Coco Jones</strong>, the pair discussed their music, career progression, and even their preferred ways of unwinding after stressful days.</p>

<p><em>“One thing I’m going to do when I’m on the road is to make sure to have a TV show so I can disappear for three minutes to watch it; I'd watch it on my phone,” </em>she said, emphasising the importance of finding small moments of relaxation.</p>

<p>She added, <em>"I also try to eat Nigerian food wherever I am because it keeps me happy. I be like, 'I don't want to eat burgers again. Are we eating burgers again?' please."</em></p>

<p>Ayra Starr opened up about how cooking puts her at peace, saying, <em>"Sometimes I just want to eat my food, and sometimes I try to stay in serviced apartments whenever I can so that I can cook. I feel like that keeps me and centres me. So even if I'm tired from a shoe and it's late, even if it's 9, 10, or 11 p.m., cooking is relaxing for me."</em></p>

<p>She explained<em>, "Thank God for my friends, they don't leave me alone. We have group chats, and I still try to involve them in my life, but they get it. Sometimes I just disappear when it becomes overwhelming."</em></p>
