Always thought that Rihanna has the lamentation singing style you can often find in African music, most especially Nigerian songs…this cover neatly proves that, as the music perfectly fits Ayra’s voice Love this cover! They need to collaborate Or give us a Tems, Rihanna & Ayra mega mix 😍
Burna too has that singing style only that its deeper and bass. Can you imagine a song between Rihanna, Tems, Burna & Ayra.... Crazy!. By the way listen to her new album "The year I turned 21". Birds sing of money from the album reminds me so much of Rihanna.
That's remind me 12 year 13 years ago when Rihanna sing this song for the first time oh god what a beautiful time thinking just about someone who mean a lot for me till today

Great talent thou 👏 but this sounded odd to me kinda. This particular song is one of my favorite songs of all time and I listen to it almost everyday maybe it’s because I’m used to the Original version and haven’t listened to any cover of the song before.
I can listen to this cover in so many voices and never get bored - man down is so expressive
Every word is its own song with this artist
this woman is just beyond incredible.
I can't agree with you more
The chills come running back...from. the carribean to africa,dammmn...her voice is signature ❤
I agree. One love sis ❤
I love the talking drum that brings this home it’s beautiful
Rihanna ft. Ayra Starr would be the kryptonite
First watched from an ad and now I'm here...Ayra Star is indeed a ☆
This girl can sing. Wow, just wow
Always thought that Rihanna has the lamentation singing style you can often find in African music, most especially Nigerian songs…this cover neatly proves that, as the music perfectly fits Ayra’s voice
Love this cover! They need to collaborate
Or give us a Tems, Rihanna & Ayra mega mix 😍
That's would be s great remix the 2 great singer's a video wow
Burna too has that singing style only that its deeper and bass. Can you imagine a song between Rihanna, Tems, Burna & Ayra.... Crazy!.
By the way listen to her new album "The year I turned 21". Birds sing of money from the album reminds me so much of Rihanna.
Didn’t think I’d find another artist that gave me the same feeling as when I first heard Tems.
They are half sisters
@Odewale Taye who told you that?

I didn't mean to end his life, I know it wasn't right
I can't even sleep at night, can't get it off my mind
I need to get out of sight, 'fore I end up behind bars
What started out as a simple altercation
Turned into a real sticky situation
Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing
Makes me wanna cry
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him (him)
Coulda been somebody's son
And I took his heart when (when)
I pulled out that gun
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Man down
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Man down
Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh, why? Oh, why?
Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
Little 22, I call her Peggy Sue
When she fits right down in my shoes
Whatchu expect me to do?
If you're playing me for a fool
I will lose my cool, and reach for my firearm
I didn't mean to lay him down
But it's too late to turn back now
Don't know what I was thinking
Now he's no longer living
So I'm 'bout to leave town, ayy-uh
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him (him)
Coulda been somebody's son
And I took his heart when (when)
I pulled out that gun
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Man down
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Man down
Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh, why? Oh, why?
Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down (well, hear me now)
In central station
Said, I'd never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it, never thought I'd do it
Oh gosh, what ever happened to me?
Ever happened to me, ever happened to me?
Why did I pull di trigger, pull di trigger, pull di trigger? Boom
And end a nigga, end a nigga life so soon
When me pull di trigger, pull di trigger, pull it pon you
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do? Ayy
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Me say one man down, ah wah me say?
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum

Anyone knows how is the drum called? Im really amazed by it sounds 😍
It's an African Talking Drum 💜
Talking drum originated from south west of Nigeria 🇳🇬
It's called Talking drum originated from the Yoruba tribe of Africa.
Omg😍❤️❤️

This is NOT Rihanna’s Song 🎶!
Rihanna Re-Did this 🎵
Do y’all research 🔬
Okay Professor
Keep lonzing
Rihanna do wrote on this song. No move tf around dusty.
Great talent thou 👏 but this sounded odd to me kinda. This particular song is one of my favorite songs of all time and I listen to it almost everyday maybe it’s because I’m used to the Original version and haven’t listened to any cover of the song before.
It's because they used these african talking drums, they alway sound like they played underwater
She killed the song
