The entertainer shared her reflections in her upcoming documentary, titled Ifeoluwa, where she spoke about her personal experiences growing up in Lagos and how the city has shaped her life.
Cuppy said she loved Lagos because it was her birthplace and the place where her public identity as DJ Cuppy was developed. However, she admitted that the city had also been the setting for some of her most difficult moments.
“I love Lagos, but me and Lagos have an interesting relationship.
“Lagos was where I was born, it's my home, it's where Cuppy was made.
“Lagos is probably where I've experienced most of my disappointments.
“Lagos is where I felt like I'm not good enough.
“Lagos is where I've had my biggest heartbreak and sometimes where I felt unappreciated the most.
“And I feel like Lagos assaults your senses. It's just a place that you have to survive,” she said.
The disc jockey also observed that both she and Lagos were constantly evolving, but said some people continued to expect her to remain within a particular image or identity.
Her comments offer a personal insight into the experiences behind her public image, highlighting the emotional challenges she associates with the city she calls home.
