The entertainer shared her thoughts in a LinkedIn post on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, explaining that she makes a point of learning from her father whenever he visits London.

According to Cuppy, observing his investment decisions has changed how she views business, particularly the importance of creating value beyond making money.

“Whenever Mr Femi Otedola comes to London, I MUST pick his brain! Why do I think it’s important to understand how my dad thinks? Tbh, I wish I had his brain. Genius!” she wrote.

Cuppy said watching her father grow his investment in First HoldCo Plc had taught her that successful business goes beyond financial returns.

She explained that his approach had helped her appreciate the role of value creation in building sustainable businesses and contributing to the wider economy.

The DJ also praised Otedola’s confidence in his investment decisions, highlighting his willingness to commit substantial personal funds to shares.

“What fascinates me even more is his confidence. He’s invested over $450 million of his own money in shares. Now that’s putting your money where your mouth is,” she said.

The investment figure was cited by Cuppy in her post.

The entertainer said her appreciation of her father’s business thinking had grown with age, adding that his approach to decision-making was among the most valuable lessons she continued to learn from him.

“The older I get, the more I realise that the REAL wealth is in the way he thinks. I’ll always be his student. Very happy to learn,” she added.

Her comments reflected her desire to learn from Otedola’s experience as a businessman and investor rather than focus solely on his financial success.

DJ Cuppy, who has built a career in music and entertainment, has also used her public platform to share personal reflections and experiences.

Her latest post highlights the value she places on learning from family members with experience in business and investment.
