Popular Nigerian DJ and billionaire heiress, Florence Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy, has sparked reactions online after revealing that she still seeks her mother’s help when cooking — even something as basic as boiling rice.
Taking to her X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday, the 32-year-old wrote:
“Making it big… but still calling my mum to ask how long to boil rice.”
The lighthearted post quickly went viral, prompting a wave of mixed reactions from fans. While some found the admission relatable and humorous, others expressed disappointment or concern, especially considering her age and public profile.
Some reactions included:
- @Glorious2Smooth: “Cuppy you’re not supposed to say this online. You’re chasing your husband away unknowingly.”
- @Khaytweets: “So you don’t usually cook for yourself?”
- @Official_Patson: “And you Dey find husband?”
- @Adeyemoshield: “Ahn Ahn Aunty. I am highly disappointed in you o. I mean at your age you don’t know how to boil ordinary rice? Are you for real or you are just catching cruise? All these rich man pikin self.”
Despite the criticism, some fans came to her defence, noting that cooking skills do not define a person’s worth or success, especially in a society where professional and domestic roles continue to evolve.
DJ Cuppy, daughter of oil magnate Femi Otedola, has often been candid about her personal life on social media, where she shares updates about her career, studies, and relationships.
