Nigerian disc jockey Florence Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy, faced criticism from fans after sharing a photo with prominent figures, Aliko Dangote and Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Amina Mohammed. In her post, she advised Nigerians to be mindful of the company they keep, stating, “Show me who you surround yourself with, and I’ll tell you who you are. Choose your circle wisely.”
However, many fans quickly pointed out the irony in her advice, highlighting that her social circle is largely a result of her privileged upbringing as the daughter of a billionaire.
Some notable reactions included:
– Official Double XX:“You did not choose your circle, Cuppy; you inherited it, and that’s not bad. Who wouldn’t wish such?”
– Quiet Ifee: “Sissy calm down, them just born you into this circle, no he you surround.”
– Invxtor_ys: “Who life favor go think say others no dey try.”
– Pjuwah: “I surround myself with God and His angels.”
– Udor Awasi: “My dear, you were born with your circle.”
– Dolly Peace Clothing: “It is good to come from privileged homes. It really attaches to a lot of many opportunities. Cuppy you win.”
– Thaddeus Junior: “But you have a fighter in your circle. Talk well, rich kid.”
In a separate post, DJ Cuppy reflected on Nigeria’s 64th independence anniversary, describing the country as her superpower. She acknowledged the challenges Nigeria faces but emphasized that it remains a source of hope for her, asserting that being Nigerian is integral to her identity and brand.
