The renowned Nigerian producer and DJ Cuppy, Florence Otedola, has received recognition for her outstanding philanthropic efforts on behalf of the Cuppy Foundation. She was given the renowned Philanthropic Endeavour Leadership Award during the Best of Africa Award show, a celebration of the accomplishments of people with African and Pan-African heritage.
DJ Cuppy posted the happy news on her Instagram page, where she also posted a photo of herself holding her well-earned prize while dressed in traditional Yoruba attire. She emphasised her delight in being African in her caption, which she used to express her sincere gratitude to the organisation for the honour.
The post read, “Honoured to receive the ‘Philanthropic Endeavour Leadership Award’ thank you @BOA_Awards. Being African is truly my greatest superpower!”
While receiving her award she said, “This award means so much to me because I am being honoured by my own people. I DJ around the world and do a lot of philanthropy but there is something that happens when we get together as Africans. I really believe that when we unite we create more than anyone can handle and that’s what I strive for at Cuppy Foundation.”
