Nigerian DJ and philanthropist, Florence Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy, has opened up about her views on marriage, calling it the most significant contract anyone can enter, with God as the ultimate witness.
In a post shared on her X account on Thursday, the daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola reflected on the meaning of matrimony. She wrote that marriage is “the most powerful partnership in life” and “perhaps the most important contract you will ever sign, with God Himself as the witness.”
Cuppy’s remarks come in the wake of her younger sister Temi Otedola’s wedding to Nigerian singer Oluwatosin Ajibade, better known as Mr Eazi. Sharing her thoughts, Cuppy explained that seeing Temi walk down the aisle reminded her that marriage is far from outdated. She emphasized that with the right partner, marriage has the power to strengthen one’s sense of purpose while also building love, family, and legacy.
Temi and Mr Eazi recently concluded a series of wedding celebrations spread across three countries. Their first ceremony was held on May 9 in Monaco, a symbolic date chosen in honor of Mr Eazi’s late mother’s birthday. This was followed two months later by a traditional Yoruba wedding at the Otedola family residence in Dubai. The couple rounded off their celebrations in August with a private white wedding in Iceland.
The pair had earlier announced their engagement in April 2022 when Temi shared a video of the proposal on Instagram. At the time, they hinted that their weddings would be intimate affairs, a promise they kept by opting for private ceremonies despite the global attention on their relationship.
Cuppy’s reflections highlight how her sister’s marriage inspired her own views on commitment, reinforcing her belief that matrimony remains one of life’s most sacred and enduring unions.
