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.

Ubi Franklin Opens Up on the Financial Risks of Nigeria’s Music Industry
Music executive Ubi Franklin speaks on music and shares how music is actually very risky to get into, and he explains why.
He states that no matter how much you put into music, you are never sure of how much you will get back.
He said “Music is the riskiest business I’ve ever done. You need ₦100m to promote one song. Even if TikTok carries it, you still need money to keep it on the charts because people have short attention spans, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get your money back.”
