Cuppy, Rema, Rayvanny - Jollof on The Jet
The psychedelic official video - brought to life by renowned visual artist and director Jimmy Turrel - places Cuppy centre stage amidst trippy visuals, vibrant colour schemes and fellow ‘Jollof On The Jet’ contributors Rema and Rayvanny - a perfect visual accompaniment to the track’s bright, sunkissed vibes.
