Move over, Jimmy Jatt ... DJ Cuppy takes over

For a long time now, the deejaying sector of the Nigerian entertainment industry has been dominated by DJ Jimmy Jatt. That seems about to change however as one DJ is set to give Jatt a run for his money and take over the sector. Surprisingly, the DJ in question is not even a man, but a woman, and she seems set to succeed where many other male DJs have failed. This DJ is none other than DJ Cuppy, the worldwide famous daughter of the billionaire, Femi Otedola, who in a very short space of time has become Nigeria’s top female DJ and is now set to go the whole way and become not just Nigeria’s top DJ, but Africa’s. Already, she has performed at occasions that many Nigerian and African DJs only dream of. She set a record with one of such performances when she was chosen as the first African DJ ever to perform at the 2015 edition of the Oil Barons Charity Gala in Dubai. Right now, Cuppy, basking in the success of her recently released mixtape, House Of Cuppy II, which has superlatives mixes of music by Olamide, P-Square, Yemi Alade, among others, and the voice of Funke Akindele as well on it, has concluded plans to embark on a tour of Africa that’s aptly tagged Cuppy Takes Africa. The tour will kick off next month in Lagos on August 1st, move to Dakar, Senegal on August 5th, Accra, Ghana on August 7th, and Nairobi, Kenya on August 10th. From Nairobi, Cuppy will head to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania on August 15th, Kigali, Rwanda on August 21st, Kampala, Uganda on August 22nd and make its final stop at Johannesburg, South Africa on August 29th. Expectedly, Cuppy is excited about the tour and she confirmed her excitement to E-News, gushing that “I’m really looking forward to my Cuppy Takes Africa Tour because it’s all about helping people and inspiring young people around Africa through music.” Go, girl.
