The lovely singer and daughter of Femi Otedola, who is one of the wealthiest man in the country, only recently released two singers that are trending and wowing her fans.
This and many more youthful achievements of the lady must have led to her bagging the award. Acknowledging the impact she has had on the youths in her 25 years of living, DJ Cuppy wrote a caption that embodies this and also expressed gratitude to the event organisers for the recognition.
"As a 25 year old Nigerian, the youth are always my priority! Thank you to Lagos state for this tremendous honour! "
