Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, better known as DJ Cuppy, has revealed a deeply personal side of her life, sharing her spiritual awakening and renewed relationship with God. Once celebrated for her flashy lifestyle and vibrant public persona, Cuppy is now focusing on a quieter, more introspective journey of faith and self-awareness.

In her latest reflection, Cuppy delves into the concept of the “death of self,” a central Christian principle that encourages surrendering ego and worldly desires in favor of a deeper connection with God. She shared, “To be a follower of Christ means death of self,” explaining that embracing self-awareness and humility has become a cornerstone of her life.

Despite her global success and glamorous image, Cuppy admitted to feeling a profound emptiness. “I actually cannot believe how successful I was by worldly terms, but how empty I felt inside,” she confessed, highlighting the stark contrast between external achievements and internal fulfillment.

Rather than ignore these feelings, Cuppy chose to face them, which led to a transformative moment of clarity. “The worst thing isn’t being in a dark place,” she reflected. “The worst thing is not even realising that you’re in one. I’m just thankful that I finally saw it for what it was — and realised what I truly needed to heal.”

Anchoring herself in her faith, DJ Cuppy now draws strength from scriptures like Proverbs 3:5, which advises, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” — and Romans 12:2, which encourages believers to “not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
