DJ Cuppy Reacts After Being Accused Of Not Paying Zlatan Ibile For ‘Gelato’ Collaboration

DJ Cuppy, a disk jockey and daughter of billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, has reacted to the allegations that she did not pay rapper, Zlatan Ibile, for his collaboration in their 2019 hit song, Gelato.

KanyiDaily recalls that Davido’s Logistics Manager, Afeare Isreal, had claimed that Zlatan is angry with DJ Cuppy because despite the commercial success of “Gelato”, the billionaire daughter did not compensate the rapper.

Isreal also alleged that Cuppy did she provide accommodation for Zlatan when she took him to Abuja for her fundraiser, where she made billions of naira.

Reacting to the allegations, DJ Cuppy simply tweeted, “Super Story,” with the hashtag, #freecuppy. In another tweet, she noted that she has learnt to “kill them with kindness and and rise above the noise.”

The feud between the two entertainers started after DJ Cuppy lamented over her broken friendship with Zlatan, revealing that the rapper blocked her on Instagram and WhatsApp for over 10 months.

She wondered why he did so, because, according to her, they were actually friends and he is yet to disclose his reasons for blocking her after they collaborated on the hit single ‘Gelato’ back in 2019.

On Thursday, Zlatan shocked Nigerians when he denied ever knowing DJ Cuppy in an interview on Soudcity’s ‘The Switch‘ show.

When quizzed on his lingering feud with the DJ, Zlatan left the audience stunned when he asked if Cuppy was an artiste. He also claimed he doesn’t know her.

Zlatan’s response caused lots of controversy among Nigerians on social media, which was why Davido’s PA Isreal revealed the reason behind the bad blood the rapper and Cuppy.
