Reacting in a Twitter post on Sunday, Cuppy faulted Kanye’s claims, saying that her ‘godfather’ Dangote is the richest man black man.
She tweeted: “Random, I know…I am a HUGE Kanye West 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, Aliko Dangote. Just clearing the air with #Facts.”
According to Forbes Billionaire’s list, Dangote is the richest Black man.
