Nigerian Afrobeats Stars Shine at UK’s Wireless Festival, DJ Cuppy Applauds
DJ Cuppy, renowned disk jockey and music sensation, has taken to social media to celebrate the stellar performances of Nigerian afrobeats stars at the prestigious Wireless Festival in London.
The festival, a cornerstone of the UK’s music scene, recently featured a quartet of Nigerian talents including Asake, Rema, Ruger, and Shallipopi, who captivated audiences with their electrifying performances.
DJ Cuppy, who graced the festival as a performer herself, expressed immense pride in her fellow artists’ achievements. In a heartfelt message on her X handle, she lauded Asake, Rema, Ruger, and Shallipopi for their contributions to the global music stage.
Her post exuded enthusiasm and support, emphasizing how these artists are representing Nigeria with distinction on an international platform.
The Nigerian music industry has been making waves globally, with recent milestones including Ayra Starr and Burna Boy becoming the first African artists to perform on the mainstage of Glastonbury, another iconic UK festival.
Moreover, British band Coldplay’s collaboration with Nigerian afrobeat legend Femi Kuti further underscored the growing influence and recognition of African music on the global stage.
DJ Cuppy’s commendation comes at a time when Nigerian artists continue to push boundaries and redefine the narrative of African music worldwide.
Their performances at events like the Wireless Festival not only showcase their talent but also highlight the diversity and richness of Nigerian music genres such as afrobeats.
Indeed, as DJ Cuppy aptly puts it, these achievements demonstrate that Nigerian artists are not just participating but excelling on the global stage.
This recognition serves as a source of inspiration for aspiring musicians across Africa and beyond, encouraging them to dream big and aim for international success in the music industry.
Former senator Ben Murray-Bruce has shared his belief that Afrobeats sensation Davido could someday become the Governor of Osun State.
Speaking in a recent episode of his Common Sense series, Murray-Bruce pointed to Davido’s family background and growing political interest as key reasons behind his prediction. He described Davido not just as a global music star, but as someone with strong political views and ambition.
According to him, it’s no surprise given the Adeleke family’s legacy in Osun politics. Davido’s uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is the current governor, while another uncle, Isiaka Adeleke, held the same position during the Babangida era.
Murray-Bruce believes if Davido decides to enter politics, especially with proper guidance and structure, he stands a strong chance. He also added that Nigeria could benefit from more entertainers in politics, given their strong connection with the people. He concluded confidently, “Davido, if you ever run, I believe you’ll win.”
Big Brother Naija Star, Uriel Oputa speaks on losing out at the 11th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, AMVCA.
The reality star took to social media to express disappointment with not winning the best dressed award to the event.
It can be recalled that Prince Nelly and Liquorose both won the best dressed award for Male and Female. It can also be noted that these two are former BBN stars.
Uriel then states on her Instagram “This is not to knock anyone’s design. Everyone looked stunning. But let’s be honest,the only reason I didn’t win best dressed is because I wasn’t there on time. Nobody can tell me my dress didn’t eat.”
Nigerian Actress Chioma Chukwuka reacts emotionally to winning the best actress award at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards 2025, AMVCA.
The actress was awarded the win after her role in “Seven Doors” a film produced by Femi Adebayo. Her role gathered a lot of attention from fans as they praised and applauded her acting skills.
This earned her enough credit to be recognized as the best AMVCA actress for 2025. The actress takes to social media to express her gratitude “THANK YOU JESUS !!! Words really fail me ! AMVCA BEST ACTRESS 2025.”
