DJ Cuppy, known off-stage as Florence Otedola, expressed excitement over her father Femi Otedola’s upcoming memoir “Making It Big”, which has sparked fresh online discourse around “Nepo babies” versus “LAPO babies” in Nigeria.
She shared photos of herself reading the book and encouraged followers to pre-order it, praising her father’s candor: “Not every billionaire spills the tea… but my dad did and turned it into a whole book”
In response, Femi Otedola humorously challenged his wealth status, tweeting: “I’d love to order a Cuppy please. By the way, who told you that I’m a billionaire.”
His reaction sparked trending engagement amid the ongoing debate over privilege and opportunity.
The memoir’s announcement ignited the broader Nepo vs LAPO babies conversation, questioning how much of success hinges on inherited privilege versus self-made hustle.
Many Nigerians weighed in on X (formerly Twitter), with critics calling into question stories of self-made wealth absent family advantage.
