On October 1, 2018, DJ Cuppy innocently celebrated Nigeria's independence with a tweet that reads, 'today, we experience the joy and pride of being called NIGERIANS! The greatest nation'.
Sadly, the tweet didn't go down well with alot of angry Nigerians on social media and they came at her from all angles starting with @kingwole who did a thread to address Cuppy's 'insensitivity'.
See all the tweets below...
People are struggling to eat, more families are sliding into poverty on a daily basis than one can even imagine, going out to work and coming back home is a miracle, the President and people around him are too busy focusing on re-election to worry about anything else...
And you, the child of one of the richest men in the country, who has studied abroad, lived abroad, visited multiple first world counties, can fix your fingers to call it “The Greatest”?
Does it mean you are happy with the way Nigeria is? DFPMO!
I don’t care who gets offended by this. Someone close to her has to start talking to her about this shit. She’s always coming across as insensitive.
