DJ Cuppy, the well-known Nigerian disc jockey and daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola, has become the center of conversation across Nigerian social media after revealing her newfound Christian faith. The 31-year-old shared that she has recently dedicated her life to Christ, a decision she described as the best she has ever made.
“I made THE best decision of my life,” she writes in heartfelt posts across her social media platforms as she shared images of her baptism at London’s Holy Trinity Brompton. “Baptism isn’t just a ceremony; it’s a transformation. I am a new creation, reborn in His grace,” she continued.
Although throwing many off guard, Cuppy received support from fans on her spiritual journey.
On X, a user named Chima Echefule, congratulated her, writing, “Congratulations, you made the right choice.” Another user, Francis Anita, echoed this sentiment, stating, “This is the best decision to be made by anyone. Congratulations.” Others added their voices in support, with @_Deejustdee welcoming her to the faith, and Tobi Akinbo humorously suggesting that she might consider recording gospel music now.
Others, however, were not so impressed. Linking her newfound faith to her marital status, they questioned whether her religious conversion was a result of personal struggles.
Desmond Alake commented, “If you can’t find love in men, you will definitely find it in God.” Similarly, @Tokyo_XXL remarked, “When they are done with the street and ready to settle down, that’s when they accept Christ. May the Lord wash away all your sins and hope you find a good husband. Amen.”
TNR compiled a list of similar comments:

While reactions have been mixed, one thing is certain: fans and followers will be closely watching to see how this significant life change will impact Cuppy’s social media presence and her career in music. So, don’t rule out the possibility of Gospel Cuppy happening.
