Cuppy showered encomium on her late grandmum for how she raised Nana, her mother. The disc jockey said she finds comfort in the knowledge that her grandma “is now in heaven”.

“My mummy’s mother has passed away. I am finding comfort knowing that she is in heaven looking down on us with love. What a life she lived. I am so grateful for the way she shaped my mum who then shaped me,” she wrote.

“I am praying for my very own sudden season of change, but we already know that our God is good all the time. Grandma Kaduna, your spirit lives on, guiding and comforting us.”

Nana celebrated the 90th birthday of her mother in grand style in November 2023.

Born Florence Otedola, Cuppy began her career in 2014 as the resident DJ at the MTV Africa Music Awards.
