“Even With All My Success, I Still Call My Mum to Ask How to Cook Rice” – DJ Cuppy Opens Up

Popular Nigerian disc jockey and billionaire heiress, Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, better known as DJ Cuppy, has stirred buzz online after admitting she still doesn’t know how to cook rice.
The entertainer made this revelation on July 30th, 2025, via her verified X (formerly Twitter) page, confessing that she still calls her mother to ask how long it takes to boil rice.
Cuppy, daughter of business mogul Femi Otedola, shared the tweet in a lighthearted tone, revealing that despite her success and education, including three degrees and a recent second master’s from Oxford University, cooking remains a struggle.
Her post comes as her father prepares to launch his highly anticipated memoir, “Making It Big”, set for release in August 2025. While the memoir focuses on business and success, Cuppy’s candid confession offered a humorous contrast, highlighting the reality behind even the most accomplished lives.
Social media users have since flooded her comment section, reacting with a mix of amusement, surprise, and empathy.
DJ Cuppy, who is going to clock 33-year-old in November, tweeted; “Making it big… but still calling my mum to ask how long to boil rice .”
