Kanye West Is Not The Richest Black Man Alive – DJ Cuppy

Popular celebrity, DJ Cuppy has come out to react after American rapper, Kanye West bragged about being the richest black man alive.

She recently had her say via her social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to her, Kanye West should get his facts right because her godfather, Aliko Dangote has that spot on lock.

Cuppy added that even if she is a huge Kanye West fan, she can’t watch him state facts that are untrue.

Her words, “Random, I know… I am a HUGE @KanyeWest fan. However with ALL due respect, I feel the need to remind him that he is not the “richest black man” -it is in fact my Godfather @AlikoDangote. Just clearing the air with #Facts.”

WOW.
