DJ Cuppy Opens Up About Her Spiritual Journey

• Nigerian DJ and media personality, known for her vibrant pink aesthetics and luxury lifestyle, is now focusing on spiritual introspection rather than flashing lights.

Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, better known as DJ Cuppy, has revealed a deeply personal side of her life, sharing her spiritual awakening and renewed relationship with God. Once celebrated for her flashy lifestyle and vibrant public persona, Cuppy is now focusing on a quieter, more introspective journey of faith and self-awareness.

In her latest reflection, Cuppy delves into the concept of the “death of self,” a central Christian principle that encourages surrendering ego and worldly desires in favor of a deeper connection with God. She shared, “To be a follower of Christ means death of self,” explaining that embracing self-awareness and humility has become a cornerstone of her life.

Despite her global success and glamorous image, Cuppy admitted to feeling a profound emptiness. “I actually cannot believe how successful I was by worldly terms, but how empty I felt inside,” she confessed, highlighting the stark contrast between external achievements and internal fulfillment.

Rather than ignore these feelings, Cuppy chose to face them, which led to a transformative moment of clarity. “The worst thing isn’t being in a dark place,” she reflected. “The worst thing is not even realising that you’re in one. I’m just thankful that I finally saw it for what it was — and realised what I truly needed to heal.”

Anchoring herself in her faith, DJ Cuppy now draws strength from scriptures like Proverbs 3:5, which advises, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” — and Romans 12:2, which encourages believers to “not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
