Biola Bayo, her goddaughter, organised the party, which had in attendance Toyin Tomato, Akin Boss, Iyabadan Sneh, Toyosi Adesanya, Toyin Adegbola, Funmilayo Adelusi, and more.
Videos captured online showed the emotional moment Dupe walked into the birthday venue, and was taken aback by their grand gesture. The video also captured the moment she was presented with a money bouquet as she hugged all the celebrity guests at the party.
