DJ Cuppy has been a trending topic on Nigerian social media since she dropped her latest song 'Charged Up' yesterday.
While many are bashing her for consistently dropping songs which they believe are below par, Linda Ikeji TV host, Hero Daniels has taken time out to analyse what's wrong with her sound and why It hasn't been accepted.
According to him, 'she's Experimenting beats from other parts of the world (werk had the London vibe and "charged up " has the South African vibe) and imposing Naija lyrics on them which isn't bad but so far hasn't been accepted. Before you can do that, you need to have stayed and gained the trust of the very hard to please Nigerian audience. If it was Tiwa savage that sang the exact same lyrics. People would be feeling the vibe'.

's other Tweets@cuppymusic should continue with the familiar style and gain grounds and street credibility first before experimenting new fusions. Don't get me wrong, you could sometimes get lucky with new Vibes like slimcase and the shaku shaku trend
's other TweetsBut I think it's time to go back to what's familiar and gradually blow our minds with your unique sound w hen you've gained enough grounds in the ever competitive Nigerian music space
's other TweetsGreenlight was hit, currency was OK but the "werk " and "charged up" needs to be charged up. Slow down your unique style for now and tweak it to suit your primary audience. Forever a Fan
