Ayra Starr, a Mavin Records artist, missed her three-city US tour due to illness.
On Sunday, the music sensation was scheduled to headline the Industry Night Show in Houston.
She was also scheduled to play at Virginia City’s Something In The Water concert.
The program was supposed to feature ASAP Rocky, Busta Rhymes, and a slew of other American celebrities.
Ayra Starr claimed in a statement on Sunday night that her doctor had ordered her to be on bed rest immediately.
She apologised to fans over her inability to meet her stage performance obligations.
The singer reassured the public that she looks to make a special comeback when she recovers.
Her statement reads: “DC, VA & Houston, your girl is going through it.
“My doctor has advised I slow down, hence I’m on immediate bed rest.
“So sorry I couldn’t meet every one of you as planned.
“I’m also sorry you feel let down but I promise to be back in a special way for you when we’ll have a magical time.
“I appreciate your prayers and well wishes.”
Ayra Starr is a Beninese-born Nigerian singer.
She began a fashion career at 16 with Quove Model Management before deciding to pursue a career in music.
After doing covers for several songs by popular artists, she posted her first original song in December 2019.
This caught the attention of Don Jazzy, the record producer, who signed her to his label Mavin Records.
In early 2021, Ayra Starr achieved mainstream recognition with her eponymous debut EP and its hit track ‘Away’.
