Billionaire businessman Femi Otedola and his daughter, popular DJ and philanthropist Florence Otedola, known as DJ Cuppy, have once again captured public attention with their playful family bond. This time, the spotlight falls on a giant book dummy Cuppy gifted her father — a humorous and symbolic version of his newly authored book titled “How To Make It Big.”
The heartwarming moment, which has been trending on social media, shows Otedola curiously untying the ribbon on the oversized gift. When he finally opened it and discovered the massive book replica, the usually reserved billionaire broke into a smile. He read the card Cuppy wrote for him, still smiling, before pulling her in for a hug. He also referred to her as “my angel,” a term he often uses affectionately.
The lighthearted gesture has sparked positive reactions from fans who admire the close relationship between the father and daughter. Their interaction highlights the well-known playful dynamic that has often made headlines over the years.
The giant book dummy is believed to be Cuppy’s creative way of celebrating her father’s latest milestone — the release of his book, “How To Make It Big.” The book details Otedola’s journey in business, his struggles, successes, and lessons learned over several decades. For many young Nigerians interested in entrepreneurship, the book has become a major talking point.
By presenting a giant version of the book, Cuppy appeared to be making a symbolic statement about the impact of her father’s career and the larger-than-life role he plays in her life.
The gift also comes just days after another viral moment involving father and daughter. Cuppy, who recently turned 33, jokingly asked her billionaire father for one of his multi-billion-naira properties as a birthday present.
In a casual chat, she requested his £70 million mansion located in the upscale St. John’s Wood area of London. The mansion is one of Otedola’s most luxurious properties, sitting in one of the city’s most exclusive neighbourhoods.
“Daddy, I would like the St. John’s Wood house. I’ll only turn 33 once,” she said.
Otedola’s reaction was humorous. Instead of responding with words, he shared a funny meme, signalling how surprised he was by her bold request. Social media users found the exchange amusing, with many joking that Cuppy “shoots her shot” with confidence when it comes to asking her father for gifts.
Although it was clear she made the request jokingly, the conversation once again highlighted the playful and open relationship between both of them — a relationship that fans often admire.
The Otedola family is one of Nigeria’s most visible and admired families, not only because of their wealth but also because of their sense of humour and closeness. Over the years, the family has shared several lighthearted moments that have gone viral.
In 2020, Femi Otedola broke the internet when he bought three Ferrari Portofino cars for his daughters. The colourful vehicles matched each daughter’s style — pink for Cuppy, blue for Temi, and brown for Tolani. The gesture was celebrated across social media platforms and further cemented Otedola’s image as a doting father.
Earlier this year, Cuppy also made headlines when she jokingly asked her father for a private jet upgrade. His response, once again, was humorous and playful.
These moments continue to fuel the public perception of a family that, despite its wealth and status, enjoys simple, affectionate, and humorous interactions.
Cuppy is known for her lively and bold personality. Over the years, she has grown into a popular figure in music, philanthropy, and social entertainment. Her willingness to share personal and family moments online has earned her a large following.
Fans describe her as confident, outgoing, and unafraid to express herself openly. Her recent birthday request for the £70 million property fits perfectly with her personality — playful, cheeky, and full of jokes.
Her latest gesture of gifting her father a giant book also aligns with her love for creativity and public humour. It also shows her admiration for her father’s accomplishments. Even though she is the child of a billionaire, Cuppy often speaks proudly about the values of hard work and humility she says her father taught her.
While Femi Otedola is best known for his success in business, especially in energy and philanthropy — his transformation into a public mentor and author has attracted widespread attention.
His book, “How To Make It Big,” is part of his effort to guide young entrepreneurs and share lessons from his decades-long journey in the corporate world. Many Nigerian youths have expressed interest in the book, which they say offers inspiration and practical wisdom.
Cuppy’s gift may therefore be seen as her way of honouring this new chapter in her father’s life.
Shortly after videos of the gift presentation surfaced online, fans flooded social media with comments. Many praised the warm relationship between Cuppy and her father, describing it as “goals.” Others joked that her birthday request for a mansion might still work if she keeps trying.
Some social media users also praised the creativity of the giant book dummy, calling it one of the most thoughtful celebrity gifts of the year.
The heartwarming moment between DJ Cuppy and Femi Otedola has once again shown the public the strength of their family bond. At a time when many stories in the media highlight conflict and scandals, the Otedolas continue to show the lighter side of public life — one filled with affection, humour, and celebration.
