DJ Cuppy Receives N2.8b Mansion As Birthday Present From Dad
By Funmilayo Olusanya
London-based disc jockey and singer, Florence Otedola, aka Cuppy who turned 30 on Friday was left in total shock as she received a country home worth £5,000,000 (N2.8Billion) birthday present from her billionaire dad Femi Otedola.
This was revealed in a Whatsapp conversation with her dad which she shared on her official Instagram page on Friday.
DJ Cuppy started the WhatsApp discussion by inquiring about her father’s memory of her birthday.
Femi Otedola quickly responded that he could never forget because he had already prepared an enormous birthday present for DJ Cuppy.
In honor of her daughter, Femi Otedola said that he had given the order for DJ Cuppy to receive a £5,000,000 country estate (big mansion) from Barclays Bank as a gift for turning 30.
When reacting, DJ Cuppy was rendered speechless because she could not foresee it happening and, so, was completely taken aback.
Meanwhile, contrary to popular belief, Cuppy chose not to celebrate her birthday by throwing a party.
She stated that she is thankful to God for everything she has been able to accomplish thus far.
She wrote on social media, “Yes, Lord, you did it again. You gave me another year. Happy 30th birthday to me!
“Earlier this year, I decided that I wouldn’t do some silly lavish cuppy party but instead, enter my new age in prayer and surrounded by family only.
“For once, I am going to clap for myself and say I am so proud of all I have accomplished and so excited for the joy my 30s will bring.
“Happy birthday, incredible Cuppy, ME!”
Recall that Cuppy and the rest of her family recently gathered on the largest boat in the world to celebrate her father’s 60th birthday. In actuality, the family is still sailing the open seas.
Cuppy has performed as a DJ at a number of noteworthy occasions, including the Financial Times Business of Luxury Summit, Tatler and Christie’s Art Ball, and the MTV Africa Music Awards (South Africa) (Mexico).
She has collaborated on songs throughout her singing career with artists like Tekno, Rema, Fireboy DML, Teni, Sarkodie, Skuki, and Zlatan.
She was born into affluence but is also philanthropic and has shown a passion for assisting the less fortunate. She has collaborated with Save The Children UK through her Cuppy Foundation, and since 2021, she has made significant financial contributions to numerous nonprofit organizations in Nigeria.

Eloswag, a former contestant on Big Brother Naija Season 7, has broken his silence following the release of his private video online.
The reality star reportedly uploaded a clip featuring himself and an unidentified woman on his Snapchat account at approximately 3 a.m. on Sunday.
Though Eloswag swiftly deleted the video, it had already caught the attention of the internet.
The explicit content quickly gained traction after being reposted by the controversial gossip blog, Gistlover, sparking widespread conversations across social media platforms.
In response to the incident, Eloswag took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his frustration and consider possible legal action.
In a now-deleted post, he wrote, “I mistakenly posted a video on my Snapchat by 3am and deleted it immediately, guess who has the video? GISTLOVER? How? Please, can I sue? Because it doesn’t make sense.”

The reality star’s reaction highlights the challenges celebrities face when intimate content finds its way online.
While some supporters have shown empathy, others have engaged in heated debates about the responsibility of public figures in handling their digital content.
Eloswag’s predicament places him alongside other Nigerian celebrities who have dealt with similar scandals, such as Moyo Lawal, Tiwa Savage, Oxlade, and James Brown, whose private videos have previously surfaced online.
Legal experts have weighed in on Eloswag’s potential case, noting that while pursuing legal action against individuals or platforms that share such content can be complex, it is not impossible.
The development has reignited discussions on digital privacy and the ethical responsibilities of content-sharing platforms.
As Eloswag’s fans and critics await further updates, the incident underscores the precarious nature of online privacy and the far-reaching consequences of a single momentary lapse.
