Lil Duval & Cupid Drop Hot New Anthem “Go Auntie” Today- A Celebration for the Culture
Los Angeles, CA– Today, Comedian and entertainer Lil Duval teams up with the reigning king of line dance himself, Cupid, to release their latest singles “Go Auntie,” available now on all major streaming platforms. The infectious new track is a celebration of the stylish, confident, two stepping aunties that keep every family function lit – from weddings to backyard BBQs.
The release comes on the heels of a major honor for Cupid, who the State of Louisiana officially recognized as the Line Dance King of the World. With classic anthems like the multi-platinum “Cupid Shuffle,” “Flex,” and “Pop That Fan,” Cupid continues to shape culture, bring generations together, and fill dance floors across the globe.
But he’s not done yet.
On May 26th, 2025, just in time for Memorial Day Weekend, Cupid is back again with another summer banger, dropping “The Cookout (Remix)”, featuring southern hip-hop legends Bun B and Paul Wall. The remix is poised to be the go-to soundtrack for every grill master and family gathering this summer.
With being a 7x multi-platinum artist, Cupid proves yet again why he holds the crown – blending music, movement, and moments that bring people together.
“Go Auntie” is more than a song – it’s a vibe, a celebration, and a tribute to the unsung queens of the cookout,” says Cupid. “And we’re just getting started.”
Stream “Go Auntie” now on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and all digital music platforms.
