Nigerian billionaire businessman Femi Otedola has publicly reaffirmed his support for his daughter, Florence Otedola, widely known as DJ Cuppy, as she resurfaced on social media after a self-imposed one-month hiatus.
The award-winning DJ and producer had earlier stepped back from the online spotlight to embark on what she described as a period of spiritual reset. Announcing the break to her millions of followers, she explained that she wanted to begin the year with a 21-day biblical fast, dedicating time to prayer, reflection and personal growth away from the constant noise of the internet.
Her decision, though framed as a positive and intentional pause, stirred concern among fans who have grown accustomed to her bubbly presence and candid updates about her life, career and faith journey. Messages of support poured in, with many applauding her for prioritising mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing in an era defined by relentless connectivity.
On her return, DJ Cuppy shared a short video, describing the break with the biblical term “Selah” a word often interpreted as a call to pause, reflect and be still. The clip signalled a calmer, more introspective tone, suggesting that the time away had deepened her sense of purpose and clarity.
She followed the video with a screenshot of a private message from her father, whose words quickly became the emotional centre of her comeback. “Ifemii. Be strong. It will be well. Love you,” Otedola wrote, using an affectionate Yoruba term that underscores their close bond.
The message resonated widely, not only as a father’s reassurance to his daughter, but as a broader reminder of the importance of family support in navigating public life and personal transformation. For many observers, it captured a softer side of one of Nigeria’s most prominent business figures and highlighted the human realities behind celebrity and wealth.
DJ Cuppy’s return, framed by faith, vulnerability and paternal encouragement, has sparked renewed conversation about the pressures of social media, the value of intentional breaks and the quiet strength found in simple words: be strong, it will be well.
