DJ CUPPY "THY HOTNESS DON COME" HER INTERVIEW WITH FASHION BOMB IN THE US.

So the supremely gorgeous and calm daughter of billionaire oil magnate Mr. Femi Otedola, in the person of Florence "DJ Cuppy" Ifeoluwa Otedola was in the US very very recently and had an interview with Fashion Bomb, which was featured very late November 2017.

The young and very fashionable yet very respectful lady spoke on sundry issues, chief of which was her new collaboration with Tekno titled "Greenlight" and also spoke about the unfounded misconceptions about Nigeria.

Who is Cuppy for those who don’t know? She says,

“Cuppy is a fusion between Africa and the Western World. I’m a growing brand. Music is really my base, but I’m on a journey to find different ways to express myself.”

Tell us about your single, Greenlight.

 “Considering the video is about the love and relationship side of meeting someone, it’s about a girl or a guy giving you the Greenlight. Before I put out my record, I managed to build a great brand back home. I always felt like it was time for me to take things to the next level. I knew my debut single would be called Greenlight, so Greenlight for me means having the guts to finally go [and step into your destiny].”I sing on my song, which is very different because I’m not an artist, I’m a DJ. I don’t think I have the best voice in the world. I definitely don’t. Thank GOD for autotune. Music is changing. Greenlight is me taking it to the next level.”

What are the common misconception about Africa?

Cuppy says, “People think in Africa, we live in mud huts. But you’ve been to Lagos and know that is totally false! Nigeria is booming, Africa is booming, there’s an economy, there’s a lot of money. There’s a lot of interest in fashion and pop culture. So it’s definitely that idea of us Africans not being as exposed. Moet et Chandon found out that Nigerian is the bigger importer of champagne. People don’t know that we love to party, we like luxe things, we love exciting stuff, we are a great consumer to have as clients.”
She continues, “There are a lot of misconceptions about fraud and aboout a lot of Nigerian’s being corrupt, but there are a lot of hard working Nigerians in this world. I feel like even if people aren’t fully Nigerian, maybe their culture is Nigerian, you’ll find that there’s this work ethic that is completely unmatched.”

What’s next for Cuppy?

She says, “I want to work on an EP. There’s a lot of amazing thing going on for Afrobreats. It’s an exciting time. I want to do a lot of cool remixes. I want to bring Afrobeat to the mainstream, and remix American records with Afrobeat sounds.

UNVEILING BENNY PETERS THE ELUSIVE BILLIONAIRE BOSS OF AITEO WHO ENJOYS THE PROTECTION OF THE RUSSIANS IN AFRICA!

Benny Peters

Mr. Benedict "Benny" Peters is the elusive businessman oil tycoon behind the oil and gas concern by name AITEO where he is the founder and Executive Vice Chairman. The brand is among the biggest players in that field in Nigeria, and with a high stake in the oil field known as OML 29 which they had bought in 2014 in the heydays of the Goodluck Jonathan administration for $2.58 billion, under the keep of the embattled former Petroleum Resources Minister, Mrs. Dieziani Allison-Madueke. AITEO was established in 2008.

Prior to the emergence of this present Government of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, Benny Peters was one of those in the corridors of power, who though was doing his own private business, but was a force to reckon with and called shots then. He bestrode the corridors of power quietly like a colossus, he was one of those privileged enough to have gotten the opportunity to buy a lucrative oil well, so just like his own status grew astronomically, his brand AITEO also grew in status and were like a new bride that was getting all the right attention from all the right places and right people.

But alas, not too soon after all the seeming good times, it seems like the bubble might have busted too quickly too! For immediately this current administration came on board and the former Petroleum Resources Minister, Mrs. Dieziani Allison-Madueke quickly took  what is seeming like an infinite "leave of absence" from the country that she has yet to come back from (spoke to her legs), a few of her well known close associates too, also seemingly dusted their feet too and went on holiday too, that they haven't yet returned back from. Mr Peters was one of those who did too.

Mr. Peters who was a good friend of the head pastor of the House on the Rock Church, in the person of Pastor Paul Adefarasin has since he went abroad, given Nigeria a wide berth and it seems he is not willing to return so soon.

Why he decided to take such a decision, we cannot say?

Why would someone whose major business is located in Nigeria, his major cash cow at that, and the brand itself is even supposedly doing very well not want to return to your own country?

The unconfirmed speculation as we speak is that Mr. Peters is not too far away from Nigeria at all, only that he prefers to conduct the affairs of his vast business empire from our neighbouring country- Ghana! Remember with the way technology has made the world a global village, meetings can be conducted at anytime virtually and online real time. Him being physically present at meetings is of no importance no more, thanks to technology.
