DJ Cuppy is marking Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day with pride and an emotional tribute to her homeland. The billionaire heiress, philanthropist, and international disc jockey took to Instagram to declare that no matter the challenges, she would still choose Nigeria — even in another lifetime.
Sharing her patriotic message, Cuppy wrote:
“Èmi ni Omo Naija. My birthplace. My home. My country. Nigeria turns 65 today. Through it all, our people keep pushing, persevering, and finding joy even in the toughest times. God didn’t rush when He made us… He gave us resilience, spirit, and endless energy. In my next life, I’d still choose to be Nigerian.”
Beyond her music career, Cuppy — daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola — has built a reputation for championing Nigerian culture on the global stage.
From deejaying at international festivals to pursuing her master’s degree at Oxford while proudly repping the green-and-white, she often uses her platform to highlight her roots.
Her heartfelt Independence Day message struck a chord with fans, many of whom praised her for proudly embracing her heritage at a time when frustrations about the country are at an all-time high.
For Cuppy, the milestone is not just about celebrating independence but also honoring the resilience, energy, and unwavering spirit that define Nigerians worldwide.
