Otedola's daughters thrill at African Arts in London

It was an evening of who is who in London’s
social circle Tuesday night when the Chairman
of Forte Oil Plc, Mr. Femi Otedola, and his close
friend and Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko
Dangote, as well as other guests graced a well-
attended African arts exhibition organised by
Otedola’s daughters – Florence “DJ Cuppy” and
Temi Otedola.

The glittering event, which was held at the
famous Bonhams Arts and Exhibition Auction
House on New Bond Street, London, was a
showcase of the creative works of DJ Cuppy and
Temi Otedola.
While Temi’s works featured various African
themed paintings and sculptures, her sister, DJ
Cuppy, thrilled guests with her disc jockeying
skills.
Guests, including their father, Dangote, business
associates and well-wishers soaked in the
occasion by mingling, swerving, rocking and
singing along as Cuppy weaved her magical
hands on the turntable dishing out different
genres of music which included Afrobeat, hip-hop
and pop.
The evening also featured a fashion show and a
brief catwalk by beautiful models, who held
guests captive with their elegance and stylish
display on the improvised runway.
Perhaps not wanting to upstage his daughters,
Otedola and his right hand man, Dangote,
surprised the packed house by not making
speeches at the occasion, but posed for
photographs with as many guests who requested
photo opportunities.
Speaking at the event, DJ Cuppy and Temi
praised Dangote’s philanthropy and described the
business mogul as an inspiration for African
entrepreneurs. They commended him for his
annual commitment of $100 million through his
foundation.
Also, the Vice-President of Standard Charted
Private Bank, Richard Pattle, commended the
Dangote Foundation for partnering with the bank
to promote and support African arts including the
exhibition. (curled from this day Live)
