Popular Nigerian disc jockey, Florence Otedola, fondly known as DJ Cuppy, says singlehood is taking a toll on her.
In a post via X on Wednesday, the 31-year-old described being a single and childless woman in her 30s as terrible.
“Being a single, childless woman in her 30’s is terrible. All I ever do is exactly what I want, all the time,” she wrote.
Daily Trust recalls that in December 2022, the Gelato singer got engaged to her ex-lover, Ryan Taylor.
However, it came as a shock to many people when in July last year, she announced via her social media that she had parted ways with Taylor.
This happened barely seven months after their engagement.
Speaking at a recent event, DJ Cuppy who is the daughter of billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, said despite being from a privilege background, her life has been “unpredictable”
She said: “There is a power in uncertainty. There is a power in not being sure there is also power in failure. Even the biggest, most successful women; they don’t always do well. They don’t always sell out arenas or bestselling books. Failure is inevitable. We will all have failure in our personal lives and in our professional lives.”
Using herself as an example, she said, “I can stand here and tell you how unpredictable my life has been despite being from a privileged background. Whether it is my failed jewellery line which I started at 28 years old or going to the University of Oxford at 29 and almost failing class.
“To add the cherry on top, last year I got engaged but now I am no longer engaged but such is life. I know my story is still happening but there is more to come and I am okay with the uncertainty.”
