Nigerian DJ and musician Florence Otedola, known professionally as DJ Cuppy, has responded to ongoing chatter about her marital status with a witty TikTok video shared on 14 July 2026. In the clip, the 33-year-old daughter of oil billionaire Femi Otedola directly addresses those 'worried about my marital status,' announcing that she is heading out to 'get another degree' instead.
Cuppy's Cheeky Response Goes Viral
The short video, which shows Cuppy walking her dog, features on-screen text that reads: 'To those worried about my marital status, I'm on my way to get another degree. Yeah, EXACTLY what she said.' The sarcastic punchline has sparked widespread reactions, with thousands of fans flooding the comments section. Many backed Cuppy's decision to prioritise education over marriage, while others questioned her choice.
Cuppy already holds multiple degrees, including a master's from the University of Oxford and another from New York University. Her humour landed with particular resonance given that her younger sister, Temi Ajibade, is currently expecting her first child with musician Mr Eazi, following their wedding in summer 2025.
Temi Ajibade's Pregnancy Adds to the Conversation
Temi's pregnancy announcement naturally turned some public attention back to Cuppy, with social media users speculating about the elder sister's relationship timeline. Rather than address the chatter seriously, Cuppy leaned into the joke, turning a routine dog-walking clip into a widely shared commentary on societal pressure around marriage.
With family and public attention shifting to Cuppy's relationship status, the TikTok reads as a pointed, comedic response to the pressure many young African women face to marry before pursuing further academic ambitions.
