Nigerian music artiste and disk jockey, DJ Cuppy, has lamented that she felt insecure about how people viewed her haircut, adding that a lot of young black people are too superficial.

The singer said this when she was hosted by her long-time friend and online celebrity, Kiddwaya at an unplanned Instagram live session in the UK, on Thursday.

DJ Cuppy whose real name is Florence Otedola, is currently studying at Oxford University and at the beginning of 2022, she launched a new look as she cut her hair and dyed it pink, which is her signature colour.

She said felt a bit insecure about how people looked at her since she cut her hair. She lamented that the cruise on focusing on mundane things has gone a notch among young black people.

Cuppy said, “A lot of guys are not attracted to someone with short hair. And it’s really annoying because I’m the same person. To me, it made me insecure and I asked myself, ‘am I ugly?’

“I feel like as Nigerians and young black people, we need to stop being so on the surface. We are putting ourselves under too much pressure. Even with make-up, lashes, we cannot kill ourselves. Even weight is a thing.”

Cuppy, however, noted that she would prefer to be real. She also believes that sharing her real self in her relationship will keep it going in the good days and the bad days.

She said, “People adore my sister Temi, she is a fashionista, she is so graceful. We are from the same parents, but I am never going to look like her. It is important that we don’t put ourselves under pressure.

“You and I always talk about the premium cuppy, which is pressure in itself. If I don’t want to be this premium princess with pink long hair and wearing dresses all the time, so be it.

“The reality is that, if you are serious about your partner, your partner has to take you for the good days and bad days. One day, your partner is going to see your real hair. One day, she is going to see your false eyelashes fall off. Except you want to be fake for most of your relationship.”

Meanwhile, Kiddawaya said that women have the power to control the narrative on beauty.

They also acknowledged that a lot of Nigerians are going through mental health and socio-economic issues. However, Both of them felt that many Nigerian are dismissive of the pressures, and private struggles of privileged folks like themselves.

Charani claimed that it was her husband’s quick intervention that saved her from losing her marriage after Regina Daniels introduced her to drug addiction.

She also claimed that the only reason Regina Daniels is fighting with their husband is because he wants her to stop drug and alcohol addiction, stressing that the lawmaker doesn’t smoke nor take alcohol.

Charani further accused Regina Daniels of lesbianism, claiming that she sleeps with girls.

“You know too well that I almost lost my marriage when you introduced me to drugs 6 years ago and it was my husband’s quick insistence on intervention that rescued me from that dark path.

“You have been a bad influence since you married into this beautiful family giving drugs to nannies and our workers, including your younger sister Destiny.

“You infested everyone with your virus and this is why I will not trust my daughters around you unsupervised especially when I found out that you were sleeping with every single girl around you,” she wrote.

Charani urged Regina Daniels to seek psychological help and leave Ned Nwoko’s other wives out the her scandal with their husband.

Regina Daniels is yet to react to Charani’s allegations.

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has sparked controversy after he ordered a couple out of his concert in Denver, United States, on Wednesday night, for allegedly sleeping midway into his performance.

The drama began when the singer paused his set and asked a male fan to take his girlfriend “home” for sleeping during his performance.

“When I stand up here [on the stage] and see you over there with your girl sleeping in the front of me, it pisses me the f**k up. So, please, take her the f**k home… Walahi I’m not performing another song till you go home,” Burna Boy fumed.

At first, the couple, especially the lady, was reluctant, but eventually left after the crowd started demanding they leave as Burna Boy vowed not to perform another song until their exit.

Burna Boy resumed his performance after the couple left the concert.

His action has sparked mixed reactions, with many berating him for kicking ticket holders out of his concert.

Recall that Burna Boy previously made similar headlines after he kicked a starstruck male fan who stormed the stage to hug him while he was performing.

He also once asked a fan to leave his concert for not dancing while he was performing.

The singer has earned a reputation for controversially kicking fans out of his concert for trivial reasons.
