Florence Otedola, known as DJ Cuppy, has spoken about how her view of her upbringing has changed over time.
The disc jockey and daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola said she did not always realize how different her life was from others.
Growing up, she never had to worry about basic needs, and her lifestyle seemed normal to her. But as she got older, she began to see that what she took for granted was something many people could only hope for.
Sharing her thoughts on X (formerly Twitter), she wrote, “Growing up, I didn’t fully realize just how privileged I was. I never had to worry about anything. Thank God I see it now. What felt normal to me is something someone else is praying for. Gratitude changes everything.”
Her post has led to conversations online, with people sharing different views. Some appreciated her honesty and said it was good to recognize privilege, while others pointed out that many people struggle with daily needs.
Cuppy isn’t the only privileged Nigerian celebrity who was unaware of their social strata. Akin to Cuppy’s self-realisation is singer David Adeleke, otherwise known as Davido.
