Nigerian DJ Florence Otedola, better known as DJ Cuppy, has been feeling inadequate, undervalued and devastated by the city she was born in and formed her identity around.
Cuppy said her relationship with the city is tricky, noting that some of her worst failures and traumatic experiences took place there.
“Lagos is where I was born, that’s my home, that’s where Cuppy was made,” she added talking about her challenges.
“Lagos has probably been the place where I’ve had most of my disappointments.
She also said Lagos was where she experienced some of her worst heartbreaks and times of self-doubt.
“Lagos is where I felt like I’m not good enough.
I have had my deepest heartbreaks in Lagos and occasionally felt most neglected there,” she said.
Cuppy characterised Lagos as a place where people have to strive to survive all the time and said she still loves the city.
“Lagos feels like it rapes you. It's basically a place where you have to survive," she remarked.
