Renowned Nigerian DJ, Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, widely recognized as DJ Cuppy, expressed her desire on a recent Tuesday to step into the role of a backup singer for the celebrated musician Ahmed Ololade, more commonly known as Asake.
On that particular Tuesday, Cuppy took to her X account (formerly Twitter) and shared a video capturing her very first encounter with Asake. In the video, she passionately expressed her strong yearning to become a part of his music band as a backup singer. She articulated her aspirations with the following words: “I hadn’t met @AsakeMusik in person until this delightful surprise. Finally, I got the chance to discuss my profound desire for career growth, aiming to become his dedicated backup singer.”
This exciting development comes approximately three weeks after Asake achieved an extraordinary milestone by selling out the illustrious O2 Arena in London, UK, with a capacity of 20,000 attendees.
This remarkable accomplishment firmly places him in the esteemed company of Nigerian artists such as Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid, who have also achieved this prestigious feat.
