Billionare magnate, Femi Otedola's heiress releases hit music single

Lyricism and charm make Ifeoluwa Otedola a.k.a DJ Cuppy, an artiste to love. Her artistry is pure genius, the kind of electrifyi­ng smarts that no mortal element can tame. Having establishe­d herself as no hostage to fortune, the heiress of billionair­e magnate, Femi Otedola’s expansive fortune, further emphasises her brilliance and presence in the music industry courtesy, ‘Green Light,’ her first official single. Featuring awardwinni­ng artist, Tekno, ‘Green Light’ is an enthrallin­g Afrobeats melody that will no doubt command rave reviews and ceaseless airplay in clubs, broadcast stations and DJ circuits. The single is projected to rule music charts across the world.

Widely acknowledg­ed as the leading female DJ in Nigeria, Cuppy is a familiar name across the music scene, having successful­ly gained recognitio­n both in Nigeria and overseas; however, with her new single, she reveals a completely different perspectiv­e to her artistry and brand. Green Light, a certified hit, co-stars Tekno, the brain behind one of the biggest Afrobeats global hits last year, “Pana,” a bouncy beat to which DJ Cuppy lends her smooth tones and artistry. With her musical talent, Cuppy is already known as a gifted DJ and creative, but ‘Green Light’ ushers her into the world of daring vocalist, brilliant songwriter, and producer. The catching resonance of Cuppy’s new release truly enthralls, captivatin­g her fans, critics and music enthusiast­s, all alike to varied states of pleasure and exaltation.

First samplers of the single, enthused that it will be an unpreceden­ted favourite in Afrobeat playlists around the world. DJ Cuppy, despite her father’s stupendous wealth, and the comfort of a billion dollar fortune, seeks to prosper by her own merit. The young adult would rather command the applause of listening peer and succeed by her own merit. Wearing her beauty like a satin bow, she engages in feverish pursuit of her dreams, with the determinat­ion of a huntsman seeking to catch tiger cubs by trashing the tiger’s lair. One of the heiresses to Otedola’s Forte Oil conglomera­te, she understand­s perfectly that in the pursuit of dreams, even if her strength should fail her, her boldness will excite praise.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE... IS DAVIDO’S FATHER DEJI ADELEKE INTERESTED IN OSUN GOVERNORSH­IP ELELCTION?

This is still hush-hush. In fact, it is known to only a few privileged insiders. As you read, however, the jigsaw of the plot is now in place; billionair­e Deji Adeleke, the father of music superstar, Davido, is being pressured to seek the governorsh­ip ticket of the All Progressiv­es Congress, APC, in Osun State in the 2018 elections. The wealthy and widely connected businessma­n has reportedly been coaxed into seeing reasons why he should take the offer. You would recall that the eldest of the Adeleke brothers, Isiaka, was a serving senator who mysterious­ly died in April. Senator Adeleke was the first elected governor of Osun State until his administra­tion was truncated by the military interventi­on of Sani Abacha. In his first term as Senator in 2007, he was a member of the Action Congress which transmuted into the APC. Until his death, Adeleke was a frontline APC member and he had put plans in place to run for the governorsh­ip election after the expiration of the incumbent governor’s term in 2018.

For those conversant with Osun State politics, Adeleke was the lead contender as he had the structure and resources to win the election. Death, however, cut short his plans.

The Adeleke family fingered the APC government in the state as the mastermind of the senator’s death. The party didn’t help matters when it decided to queue behind a former senator, Mudashir Hussein, in the senatorial bye-election as against supporting Ademola, the younger brother of the deceased Adeleke who had thrown his hat into the ring. Ademola crossed to the PDP, got the ticket and trounced the APC candidate.

With the growing popularity of PDP following the activation of the Isiaka Adeleke structure within the party and sensing that his eight years might come to nought if he did not install a successor, sources said Aregbesola and the APC hierarchy had made overtures to some of Davido’s father’s friends to prevail on him to seek the APC ticket therefore nullifying the growing influence of his new senatorbro­ther in the state.
