Life may not be as rosy as it ought to be, if Dj Cuppy’s tweet is anything to go by. In a recent tweet, Cuppy, whose real name is Florence Otedola, gave out the clue that she was a lonely person at the moment. “Not me! (I was) up at 2:29am wishing I had someone to cuddle with” Dj Cuppy tweeted, indicating she was lonely. It would be recalled that recently, the ‘Gelato’ crooner, accused Zlatan, who she featured on the song, of blocking her on his social media accounts. She felt so pained of being blocked by Zlatan, that she had to voice out. Zlatan however, has not replied her question yet, leading to rumours that both Cuppy and Zlatan, are not enjoying a rosy relationship at the moment. Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, 29, professionally known as Cuppy, is a Nigerian disc jockey and producer. She is the daughter of Nigerian businessman Femi Otedola.
