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.

However, the businessman has repeatedly denied the allegations, asserting that he has no connection to the woman or her child.
“Children are a gift from God regardless of how they come, and I have more than enough to take care of my children, as many as possible that will come my way,” Chief Priest said.
“I have a beautiful marriage; this is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and if you watch the whole attack, it is on the marriage.”
When asked whether he would have accepted the child if proven to be his, the socialite responded, “Of course.”
He also expressed his willingness to undergo a paternity test but criticized the tone of the allegations. “You cannot bash me this hard and expect my loyalty,” he added.
Chief Priest further stated that the controversy has not impacted his marriage, emphasizing the strength of his bond with his wife. “We are not just husband and wife; we are business partners and associates that are inseparable,” he said.
He also suggested that the timing of the allegations raised questions about the accuser’s motives.
“The woman is always popping up every time I have an issue that goes viral. This shows that she has an ulterior motive rather than genuinely looking for the father of her child,” he stated.
The businessman noted that the saga has persisted for some time but maintained that he has no knowledge of the individuals orchestrating the accusations.
