BILLIONAIRE-BUSINESSMAN, FEMI OTEDOLA THROWS CLASSY PARTY FOR DAUGHTER, CUPPY {+PHOTOS}

Following Ifeoluwa Otedola aka Cuppy’s graduation from King’s College London, her parents Femi & Nana Otedola threw a classy 3-in-1 party {her birthday, graduation & album launch} for her at the 5-star Mandarin Knightsbridge in London. Cuppy graduated with a Second Class Upper in Business Management. This celebration is coming a few days after she dropped her latest wave-making work, House of Cuppy, a house mix of Nigerian songs by artistes including Tiwa Savage, Kcee, Naeto C featuring D’banj, Dr Sid, Alexandra Burke, Chidinma, Wizkid, illBliss and Suspect.

Born in 1992 and formerly known as DJ Cupcake, Cuppy began by playing the Piano after which she ventured into beat making and thereafter DJing. At 17, she had already become a household name playing at some of London’s top nightclubs and events and at various London Fashion Week fixtures. She’s also played at well-known clubs in Paris, New York and Dubai. With entertaining global diplomats and international representatives under her belt at the events such as the Financial Times Luxury Summit and Christie’s Art Ball, Cuppy is no stranger to forming strong relationships with global brands and companies.

As a DJ, Cuppy plays across all genres, but began experimenting with music from Lagos, and noticed that it was gradually becoming widely accepted worldwide. This fueled her curiosity and she sought to create a universal sound that would appeal to people the World over without losing touch of her cultural heritage. Chosen as the official resident DJ for the MTV Africa Music Awards 2014 and currently a brand advocate fuelling the ‘Fascinating Nigeria’ campaign, Cuppy calls her new sound Neo-Afrobeats, a genre of music, which blends Electric House with Afro-beats.
