Italian-based Nigerian singer and songwriter Modola steps forward with “Kupe,” an energetic Afro-fusion release featuring rising Nigerian street-pop act Bhadboi OML.
Released on April 10, 2026, the track quickly gained momentum online, especially through the viral #KupeBottleChallenge, while also climbing multiple streaming charts across Nigeria.
Driven by production from Oodun and released under PG Records alongside Base World Global, the song blends Afrobeats and Afro-fusion with noticeable Makossa and Soukous-inspired influences, giving it a lively and dance-focused sound.
“Kupe” centers on nightlife, confidence, attraction, and youthful enjoyment, while its multilingual delivery — combining English, Yoruba, and French phrases — adds extra flavor to the rhythm-heavy production.
Beyond its infectious vibe, the track also touches on relatable social themes, including the pressure to maintain appearances despite financial struggles, captured in the standout lyric, “Some of us just look rich, shishi we no get.”
