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.

Felix Lee, a 24-year-old Australian-born member of the K-pop group Stray Kids, has been appointed as a muse for Louis Vuitton’s artistic director for womenswear, Nicolas Ghesquière.
Felix’s journey with Louis Vuitton began in August 2023 when he was named a house ambassador. His relationship with the brand has since flourished, leading to his runway debut at the Louis Vuitton Women’s Fall-Winter 2024 Collection on March 5, 2024.
His recent appearance at the Fall-Winter 2025 show in Paris marked his second runway walk for the brand, solidifying his status in the fashion industry.
With a substantial following on Instagram, Felix frequently showcases Louis Vuitton pieces, blending his personal style with the brand’s aesthetic.
South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun, renowned for his roles in popular dramas such as “My Love from the Star” and “Queen of Tears,” is currently facing significant professional setbacks due to allegations about his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron.
These allegations suggest that Kim Soo-hyun, now 37, was involved with Kim Sae-ron when she was underage, leading to the termination of several endorsement deals.
However, luxury fashion house Prada, which had appointed Kim Soo-hyun as a brand ambassador three months prior, announced the mutual termination of their contract. A Prada Korea representative stated, “In consideration of the gravity of the issue, we have mutually agreed to terminate our contract with actor Kim Soo Hyun.”
Similarly, South Korean cosmetic brand Dinto ended its advertising agreement with the actor, citing substantial grounds that made the continuation of the contract unfeasible.
The controversy intensified following claims that Kim Soo-hyun dated Kim Sae-ron starting in 2015, when she was 15 and he was 27, with the relationship allegedly lasting six years. These allegations surfaced after Kim Sae-ron was found deceased in February 2025.
In response, Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Goldmedalist, denied these claims, asserting that the two were not in a relationship during Kim Sae-ron’s minor years and that Kim Soo-hyun is being unfairly linked to her death.
