Nigerian DJ and singer, Florence Otedola, better known as DJ Cuppy, has sparked a massive online conversation after announcing on multiple social media platforms that she is on the lookout for a man. The star took a rather unconventional approach by using LinkedIn, a professional networking site, to make her request, leaving many Nigerians stunned and amused.
On LinkedIn, Cuppy made a post that read: “LinkedIn… I’m looking for a man in finance: 6 foot, brown eyes.” Along with the text, she shared a picture of herself making a playful crying face, which only added to the humor and intrigue surrounding the post. While LinkedIn is typically used for career and professional connections, Cuppy’s lighthearted search for love caught the attention of her followers and other users.
Cuppy didn’t stop there—she also shared similar posts on other platforms. On X (formerly Twitter), she wrote: “I will find a man in finance o… 6 foot, brown eyes. Mark this tweet.”
The posts quickly went viral, with Nigerians taking to X to express their reactions. While many found the posts entertaining and humorous, others were left questioning whether it was appropriate to make such personal declarations on LinkedIn, given its professional nature. Some users were surprised at how casual and open the DJ was about her relationship preferences, especially on a platform typically reserved for career discussions.
Reactions ranged from amusement to mild shock. “Only DJ Cuppy can trend on LinkedIn for looking for a man,” one user commented, while others couldn’t help but laugh at her boldness. The mix of playful flirting and career-related content was enough to make the hashtag #Cuppy trends.
Cuppy’s online antics have become a staple of her public persona. Known for her unapologetic personality and social media presence, she has previously used her platforms to share aspects of her life, from her music career to her personal moments. However, this latest search for a man—coupled with her detailed specifications of a potential suitor—has garnered particularly widespread attention.
As the conversation continues to heat up on social media, one thing is clear: DJ Cuppy has once again captured the attention of her fans, giving them something to talk about. Whether or not she finds her “man in finance” remains to be seen, but for now, Cuppy is firmly trending across platforms.
