Jesus disrupted my career – DJ Cuppy

Disc jockey Florence Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy, has shared that a spiritual awakening transformed the direction of her career.

In a recent post on X, the 31-year-old opened up about how her deepening faith led her down an unexpected path — one that has ultimately brought her a deeper sense of purpose and fulfilment.

Cuppy was baptised at Holy Trinity Brompton in London in August 2024, describing the experience as the “best decision” she’s ever made.

“Was thinking this evening, Jesus really disrupted my DJ career plans o, but in the BEST way,” she wrote on Friday. “Booked and busy means nothing if you’re not walking in purpose.”

Cuppy launched her career in 2014 as the resident DJ at the MTV Africa Music Awards and went on to establish herself in the music and entertainment industry with hit songs like Gelato, Green Light, Vybe, Currency, and Jollof On The Jet. She also recently stepped into the world of acting.

Offstage, the daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola has pursued academic excellence, earning a master’s degree in African Studies from Oxford University in March 2023.

In March 2024, she was appointed as a King’s Trust International Ambassador by King Charles III.
