DJ Cuppy Speaks Out Against Age-Shaming Over Marriage Pressure

Renowned Nigerian DJ, Florence Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy, has expressed her frustration over being ridiculed for her age due to her unmarried status.

The 32-year-old daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola took to Instagram to address the backlash, revealing that some people have labeled her as “old” simply because she isn’t married yet. She questioned the logic behind such comments, wondering what those same people would say about individuals in their 40s.

“I’m 32 years old, and some people are already calling me old. If that’s the case, what do we call people in their 40s? Prehistoric? Fossilized? Nawa,” she wrote.

Cuppy’s remarks come after her high-profile engagement to British boxer Ryan Taylor in December 2022, which ended in the summer of 2023. Following their split, Taylor rekindled his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Fiona Michelle.
