Popular blogger and entrepreneur, Linda Ikeji, who was also present at the event took to her Instagram page to pour accolades on the businessman. According to Linda, Femi Otedola should be the father and humanitarian of the year for donating such a huge amount of money.
DJ Cuppy and her father, Femi Otedola, have always had a special father and daughter bond. She always shares photos of them having fun moments on Instagram. Her popular single, “Gelato”, on which she featured Zlatan Ibile was then inspired by one of such moments.
On several occasions, Internet users trolled her for allegedly not being talented. Furthermore, it’s been said that her wealthy background is what is keeping her relevant in the entertainment industry.
Nevertheless, DJ Cuppy has proven to be an entertainer with a big heart, and one ready to use her status to bring light and hope to children in Nigeria through her foundation
