Disc jockey Florence Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy has opened up about her spiritual journey and the path to self-awareness.
In a heartfelt video shared on Instagram, DJ Cuppy reflected on the transformative power of her Christian faith, noting that being a true follower of Christ requires the “death of self”—letting go of ego and worldly attachments to embrace a life led by faith.
Despite her outward success, Cuppy admitted she once felt deeply unfulfilled and empty.
She expressed gratitude for the self-awareness that helped her recognise that inner void and understand what she truly needed to find peace and purpose.
“To be a follower of Christ means death of self. So, if I think about the thing I’m most grateful for, it’s actually self-awareness.
“I actually cannot believe how successful I was by worldly terms, but how empty I felt inside.
“The worst thing is not being in a situation, but the worst thing is not realising that you’re actually in one,” she said. “Honestly, I’m so thankful that I realised not only that I was empty but also what I needed to fill those holes”, she said.
She also cited scriptures like Proverbs 3:5, “Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding,” and Romans 12:2, which urges believers to “not conform to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.”
Her spiritual journey led her to a profound realisation that true fulfillment doesn’t come from material achievements or external validation, but from surrendering to a higher power.
Cuppy’s newfound faith has brought her a sense of peace and purpose, allowing her to re-evaluate her priorities and align her life with her values.
