DJ Cuppy admits to spelling struggles, despite Oxford University degree, others
Popular Nigerian disc jockey and philanthropist Florence Otedola, known professionally as DJ Cuppy, has revealed a surprising personal struggle — she still finds spelling difficult, despite holding multiple degrees, including one from the world-renowned University of Oxford.
Cuppy made the light-hearted confession on her X (formerly Twitter) handle, joking about how autocorrect constantly “fights” her spelling attempts.
“[I] went to Oxford Uni and [I] still can’t spell tomorrow o – tommorrow? tomorow? tomorro?”
“My autocorrect stay fighting. Lol,” she posted.
A decorated academic still keeping it real
Despite the spelling struggles, DJ Cuppy is highly educated, holding an impressive academic résumé:
- Bachelor’s in Business and Economics – King’s College London (2014)
- Master’s in Music Business – New York University (2015)
- Master’s in African Studies – University of Oxford (2023)
She has also hinted at plans to pursue a fourth degree, reinforcing her deep commitment to education and personal growth.
Fans react with love and laughter
Many fans praised Cuppy for being candid and relatable. Some shared their own experiences with autocorrect battles and spelling blunders, regardless of their education level. Others admired her for proving that academic excellence doesn’t require perfection, and that success comes with embracing one’s quirks.
As one fan commented,
“Even geniuses misspell sometimes — that’s what makes you human, Cuppy!”
Cuppy’s honesty is yet another reminder that even those who’ve walked the hallowed halls of Oxford aren’t immune to everyday challenges — or the wrath of autocorrect.
