DJ Cuppy: How Being A Billionaire’s Child is Affecting My Career

Daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola who made her music debut this year titled Green Light with the ladies’ big cassava guy, Tekno involved. And also well-known as one of the leading disc jockey and producer on a chat with NET TV held recently said she has not always had it easy.

Twenty-five-year-old Florence Ifeoluwa aka DJ Cuppy said: “I always call my dad a bit of a cloud, which is lingering over me, but I also work really hard. I think it is a gender thing and as women, we have to work twice as hard to get our voices out there. Whenever I get to perform, people have already decided. I then hear things like ‘she is rubbish, she only got this show because of her dad’, It is really painful”

She added: “Initially, it used to affect me but it doesn’t affect me anymore. I love what I do, and I am good at what I do and that’s all that matters. If I was depending on my dad only, I don’t think I would have been able to come this far because being a female DJ is not easy”.

“It’s even harder being a woman, I have had to work extra because when you go out, they will say you are a woman and you don’t know anything, but nothing is handed to me on a silver platter, it is not all icing or cupcakes every day, I have a great team that works really hard”

On how the music expects with other colleagues in the industry, DJ Cuppy said, “it is such a great time for music, Tekno has had a great year with major hits, he also worked with me on my single, ‘greenlight’. I am also really excited about Niniola and Simi because they are so talented. Of course our Princes, Wizkid and Davido are killing it on the global scene, so basically, things are going good music industry”, she concluded.
