Not a few people will love to be in the shoes of Ifeoluwa Otedola , aka DJ Cuppy .
She is a daughter of one of the wealthiest men in Africa , Femi Otedola , and her music career is flourishing .
In the light of the above , many were surprised when DJ Cuppy reportedly said she sometimes wished she wasn ’t Otedola ’ s daughter . In the said interview , Cuppy had complained about living under the shadow of her influential father.
According to her, all her successes are usually attributed to her privileged background .
However , in a new interview with Vibe Magazine , DJ Cuppy explained better .
“ I will never apologise for what family I ’ m from and if anything , I can use my opportunity to create more opportunities for others .
I ’m actually a hard – working young woman that has a passion for DJ -ing and that message has taken me a lot of years to come through . I ’ m still working on it , but I feel like finally , my work ethic has started to speak for itself,” she said .
Gushing about the success of her song , Green Light , which she teamed up with Tekno to create , Cuppy said, Green Light is my original song .
I came out to the market with a song titled I love my Country , which was a remix, but Green Light is really me , not hiding behind anyone ’ s record. Tekno and I wrote the song together , produced it , and I ’ m so proud of it .
For me it ’s such a breath of fresh air .
“ Regardless of how well the song does – and it ’ s doing very well – I ’ m so proud that I decided to take a risk . I ’m singing on it , which is a new thing for me .
I love the video, I just love everything about the song . Regardless of it being my song , it ’s such a jam . I fall in love with it every time . Every time I hear it , I feel refreshed.”
