Nigerian social media lit up recently after Supernatural Ugo Nwokolo, popularly known as Mr Nigeria, made remarks about DJ Cuppy’s singleness, prompting a playful response from the celebrity DJ.
The buzz started on January 20, 2025, when the latest episode of The Honest Bunch podcast featured Mr Nigeria as a guest. In a now-viral clip, he weighed in on why DJ Cuppy, one of Nigeria’s most prominent and eligible bachelorettes, has yet to tie the knot. His comments sparked widespread debate and drew mixed reactions online.
“Personally, I feel like DJ Cuppy is not ready to get married,” Mr Nigeria stated confidently during the podcast:
“If she was, there’s one simple thing she could do—go to her DMs on any social media platform. She would see tens of thousands of messages from men. All of them can’t be gold-diggers. Out of those thousands, at least one, two, or three would have genuine love for her.”
He further argued that DJ Cuppy’s singleness stems from her insistence on seeking a partner within her social class, calling it “the wrong mentality” and urging women to consider men of lower status if they are comfortable with it.
His comments quickly went viral, igniting a wave of responses across social media. Critics accused Mr Nigeria of perpetuating outdated stereotypes, while some supported his call for women to rethink their dating criteria.
Amid the online uproar, DJ Cuppy’s reaction stood out for its humor and grace. Known for her witty personality, the billionaire heiress and DJ responded with a light-hearted tweet: “Let me quickly check my DM,” she wrote, delighting her fans and earning praise for her ability to defuse tension with a touch of humor.
The exchange highlights the ongoing societal debate about relationships, gender roles, and expectations in modern Nigeria. While Mr Nigeria’s remarks drew both applause and outrage, DJ Cuppy’s playful response turned the conversation into a moment of levity, showcasing her trademark charm.
As social media continues to dissect the topic, one thing is clear: DJ Cuppy’s ability to address controversy with humor makes her a relatable figure in the ever-evolving world of celebrity culture.
