Popular Nigerian disc jockey and producer, Florence Otedola, widely known as DJ Cuppy, has opened up about her deeply complicated relationship with Lagos, revealing that the city of her birth has often left her feeling inadequate and unappreciated.

Despite being the backdrop where her brand was forged and her identity built, the billionaire daughter disclosed that Lagos has also been the setting for her most painful personal and professional set-backs.

"Lagos is where I was born, that’s my home, it’s where Cuppy was made. Lagos has probably been where I’ve experienced most of my disappointments," she revealed.

Reflecting on her journey in the entertainment industry, DJ Cuppy shared that the high-pressure environment of the nation's commercial capital frequently fueled self-doubt and emotional strain.

"Lagos is where I felt like I’m not good enough. Lagos is where I’ve had my biggest heartbreaks and sometimes where I felt unappreciated the most," she admitted.

While confirming that she still holds love for her hometown, the international DJ described living and working in the metropolis as a relentless daily struggle.

"I feel like Lagos assaults you. It’s just a place where you have to survive," Cuppy added.
