Nigerian disc jockey and music producer, DJ Cuppy, has drawn attention on social media after revealing that she still relies on her mother for basic cooking instructions at age 32.
In a post shared on her X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday, Cuppy wrote, “Making it big… but still calling my mum to ask how long to boil rice.” The lighthearted comment quickly went viral, drawing a flurry of reactions from fans and followers.
Cuppy, whose real name is Florence Otedola, is the daughter of Nigerian billionaire and philanthropist Femi Otedola. Despite her international education and success in music and philanthropy, her post sparked debate over domestic skills and expectations of women.
Some users criticized the statement, suggesting it might affect her relationship prospects. One user, @Glorious2Smooth, commented, “Cuppy you’re not supposed to say this online. You’re chasing your husband away unknowingly.”
Another follower, @Adeyemoshield, expressed disappointment, writing, “I mean at your age you don’t know how to boil ordinary rice? Are you for real?”
Others questioned whether she regularly cooks at all, with @Khaytweets asking, “So you don’t usually cook for yourself?”
The responses reflected broader conversations around gender roles, societal expectations, and the scrutiny public figures face over personal matters.
DJ Cuppy, who has often used her platform to share both personal experiences and social issues, has not responded further to the comments.
Despite the criticism, some fans defended her honesty, appreciating the humility and humor in her post.
