I don’t make music for accolades, DJ Cuppy replies fan

Disk Jockey DJ Cuppy

Disc Jockey Florence Otedola aka DJ Cuppy has said that she is not into music for the accolades.

The 29-year-old made this known on Twitter on Monday while responding to a fan who questioned why the disc jockey keeps receiving backlash from critics.

“Cuppy achieves a lot and gets little praises but underserved backlash,” the fan wrote.

Responding, Cuppy wrote, “Well. good thing I don’t do it for accolades. My loyal cupcakes, I see you and I love you.”

Since the release of her album Original Copy, the disc jockey has received several backlashes from fellow celebrities and critics who berated the album.

Singer Kelly Handsome knocked her in February 2021 after her performance at the Gold Dust saying that music is not for everyone.

“If I talk now haters will say their daily prayer ‘black bla bla’….. ‘Ur career don die’. ‘U’re looking for attention’. ‘U’re hating’, meanwhile the person chatting has never stood out for anything in life.

“This is an insult to music as a career and an embarrassment to NAIJA music. This is like mocking real musicians, when did we get here? You cannot buy talent. They would have paid me or someone to write a proper song for her, bring out her British accent & all but No,” he wrote on Instagram.
