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.

Nigerian singer Spyro speaks on his values, morals, and how he applies them to his work.
He shared that when shooting music videos, he does not tolerate certain things because they do not align with his beliefs.
“You can’t be in a video with me and you’re smoking. That can’t happen. You can’t be in a video with me and you’re naked. That won’t happen. I have rules and regulations for working with people.
“I can’t be on a song that is not clean, to start with. Shoday, give your life to Christ. I said, ‘Shoday, give your life to Christ.’ He said I should continue mine while he focuses on his. Even if he’s not with Christ, he’s coming to Christ. That’s why I’m in this industry. It’s a gradual process.”
Babcock University makes headlines as it speaks regarding content creator Carter Efe, who claimed that he studied at the school and graduated with a first-class degree.
When asked for proof, he shared a certificate that stated “First Class Upper.” However, the university has now spoken out, stating that the certificate is not from the school and is forged.
“Babcock University does not issue ‘Honorary Certificates’ in recognition of undergraduate academic performance. Academic excellence, including the award of First Class Honours, is formally recognized only through the University’s official degree certificate and academic transcript issued by the Office of the Registrar.”
“There is no academic classification or degree known to Babcock University as ‘First Class Upper.’ The recognized classification is First Class Honours.”
