Florence Otedola, the Nigerian disc jockey better known as DJ Cuppy, has delivered an exhilarating performance of her hit songs at her grandmother’s 90th birthday party.
The ‘Jollof on the Jet’ crooner took to her Instagram page on Monday to share a video of her performance at the event.
Cuppy also said it was an “honuor” to perform at her grandmother’s birthday.
Christine Otedola is the mother of Femi Otedola, the billionaire businessman.
The 29-year-old said that prior to the performance, she felt reluctant and anxious but was happy to be part of the celebration.
“IMAGINE the honor to perform to your grandma at her 90th birthday at your hometown? I can. ONLY for this unforgettable moment and special blessing,” she wrote.
“To be honest, I was a bit reluctant to perform when it was requested because for most of the year, I’ve been focused on university and been hiding in Oxford.
“Plus, I haven’t been to Nigeria in years, I had so much anxiety. But I’m so happy I was able to make it to Epe in time.
“Last time I performed here was at my Grandad’s funeral 7 years ago but today reminded me that we MUST celebrate our grandparents as life can be so short.”

Cuppy has established herself as a household name in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
She recently spoke of her struggles as a female in the industry.
“Going to the male-dominated space, you have to be strong and have the zeal. Women have to work twice as hard to get half as much done. Compared to my male counterparts, I’m still underpaid, undervalued,” she had said.
