I get marriage proposals every day - DJ Cuppy

Nigerian disc jockey and entrepreneur Florence Otedola, known as DJ Cuppy, shared that she receives marriage proposals daily. She humorously linked her ongoing academic pursuits to avoiding marriage, telling Marie Claire that she shows her grandmother new certificates whenever asked about a husband.

“

I get marriage proposals every day. And I’m not even talking about fans.

Cuppy, who holds degrees from prestigious universities like New York University and the University of Oxford, explained her drive for knowledge. She stated a desire to understand the inner workings of the entertainment industry rather than just being a participant. Her academic journey includes qualifications from King's College London, with plans for further study.

“

I call it avoidance of marriage.

The entertainer also reflected on her public profile, noting how her father, billionaire Femi Otedola, is sometimes recognized as "Cuppy's dad." She expressed pride in this role reversal, as she is usually known as Femi's daughter.

Charity is just giving because you want to. Being a philanthropist, though, is about making a lasting difference. It’s about long-lasting results.

Discussing philanthropy, Cuppy differentiated it from charity. She defined charity as simply giving, while philanthropy involves creating lasting solutions and achieving long-term results to address social issues.

Recently, my dad told me that someone stopped him at the airport to take a picture because they recognised him as ‘Cuppy’s dad’.
