There’s a fresh wave building around rising Afrobeats act Modola, and it’s being powered by her latest release, “Kupe,” a vibrant, high-energy collaboration with Bhadboi OML.
From the very first listen, Kupe leans into rhythm, confidence, and pure dance culture. The record blends Afropop with soukous-inspired elements, creating an infectious sound that feels designed for movement—one of those songs that naturally pulls people to the dancefloor.
Even before its official release, the track has started making noise online. The #KupeBottleChallenge has already picked up momentum on TikTok, with users jumping on the trend and adding their own creative spins.

The buzz hasn’t been limited to just fans either—celebrities and influencers across Africa and the diaspora have been joining in, including Nollywood star Funke Akindele, helping push the song further into the spotlight.
For Modola, born Temidola Awosika, this moment feels like another step forward in a journey that has been quietly building. Known for her bold energy, striking stage presence, and a sound that fuses Afropop with global influences, she’s steadily carving out her own lane.
Her story stretches beyond borders. Although she was born in Lagos State, she moved to Italy at just two years old, growing up in Milan. It was there that her musical foundation was shaped, drawing inspiration from global icons like Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, and Rihanna—artists who influenced her early belief that music could become more than just a passion.
