With over 418 million streams on his iconic hit Cupid Shuffle, six-time multi-platinum recording artist Cupid has cemented his legacy as a cultural icon and a driving force in the global line dance community. Known for his infectious energy and ability to unite people, Cupid inspires generations through music, dance, and community engagement.


Last month, Cupid created another viral moment when he surprised the LSU Women's Basketball team and their coach, teaching them the moves to his hit dance Flex, which has already amassed over 42 million streams across platforms. These spontaneous and joyful appearances underscore his dedication to spreading positivity and getting people of all ages on their feet.


Cupid recently released the music video for his latest single, Pop That Fan, where he hits the dance floor alongside renowned line dance choreographers nationwide. The upbeat track is a call to celebration, inviting fans to join the movement—literally—and pop open a fan while dancing along.


His career is also marked by record-breaking achievements, including the 2008 Guinness World Record for the largest line dance ever assembled, with over 17,000 participants. In 2017, New Orleans and Louisiana Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser issued proclamations honoring Cupid's contributions to music and culture.


Beyond his music, Cupid's influence has attracted significant partnerships with brands like McDonald's and Walmart, the latter earning a Shorty Award nomination. His widespread impact has been recognized by media giants such as Rolling Stone, The New York Times, MTV, BET, CNN, and BBC, to name a few.
