The 26-year-old Afrobeats artiste and daughter of Femi Otedola, Nigerian business magnate, was in the United States alongside her father.
Ever since she had her big break in the country’s music industry, Cuppy has taken impressive career strides and earned herself a deluge of ever-loyal fans.
Her recent single ‘Gellato’, which featured Zlatan Ibile, also made great numbers on streaming platforms. The song scaled up to number 3 on the Apple Music chart within a day of release.
The song also caused a frenzy among Nigerians on social media; topped playlist in clubs, radio stations, and occasions across the country, and recently got Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, vibing to ‘Gelato’.
Aside from music production and entertainment awards, DJ Cuppy has bagged quite a number of endorsement deals with renowned brands including Pepsi, Tiger Beer, and Samsung.
