DJ Cuppy slammed by Nigerians for calling mum to ask how to boil rice
Nigerian DJ and billionaire heiress, DJ Cuppy, has sparked criticism online after revealing she still calls her mother to ask how to boil rice. The 32-year-old, known for her bubbly personality and music career, shared the confession in a lighthearted post on 𝕏, saying, “Making it big… but still calling my mum to ask how long to boil rice.”
While her post was meant to be humorous, many Nigerians didn’t find it funny. Some users argued that her lack of basic cooking skills might scare away potential husbands, especially given her age and public profile. They felt that such personal admissions should not be posted online.
One user, @Glorious2Smooth, warned, “Cuppy, you’re not supposed to say this online. You’re chasing your husband away unknowingly.” Others, like @Khaytweets, questioned if she ever cooked for herself, while @Official_Patson mocked her with, “And you Dey find husband?”
Some users tried to be helpful or romantic about it. @skidy_jay commented, “Baby don’t worry, I will teach you everything you need to know, no need of calling mum.” However, the overall tone remained critical, with many expressing disappointment.
One user, @Adeyemoshield, was particularly harsh, saying, “Ahn Ahn Aunty. I am highly disappointed in you o, I mean at your age you don’t know how to boil ordinary rice? Are you for real?” Others saw it as a red flag in a relationship context, with @TheDamiForeign writing, “You no sabi cook, omo u be red flag o.”
For some, the issue wasn’t just about rice, but a larger concern about responsibilities and basic life skills. @CableAnalyst wrote, “She failed in her responsibilities, it’s bitter but the truth – at this age no husband and you still can’t boil common rice.”
DJ Cuppy has not yet responded to the backlash, but the incident highlights the pressure Nigerian women, especially public figures, face when it comes to domestic expectations, regardless of their professional success.
