Ayra Starr to Make Hollywood Debut in ‘Children of Blood and Bone’ Adaptation
Nigerian music sensation Ayra Starr is gearing up for her Hollywood debut in the highly anticipated film adaptation of Children of Blood and Bone, a 2018 young adult fantasy novel by Nigerian American author Tomi Adeyemi.
The book, which quickly became a New York Times bestseller, has been adapted into a major American fantasy film after Adeyemi signed a lucrative seven-figure deal with Fox Studios. In a recent Instagram post, Adeyemi shared exciting updates about the film’s growing ensemble cast, which now includes Ayra Starr, alongside Nigerian icons Richard Mofe-Damijo and Pamilerin Ayodeji, as well as Shamz Garuba, Zackary Momoh, Kola Bodunde, and rising star Saniyya Sidney.
