The truth leapt from her lips like the national flag outspread in the breeze. It coloured the air as chrysanthemums colour the woods from antique bronze to soft yellow. News of her hidden love interest mingled with her sunny smile thus portraying Florence Otedola aka DJ Cuppy as everything but a sweet diva. No doubt, the daughter of billionaire magnate, Femi Otedola, is in love. And the man for whom her heart beats is none other than ex-Super Eagles star and premiership footballer, Victor Anichebe. DJ Cuppy made the disclosure on TV show, Rubbing Minds, recently as she talked openly for the first time about her heartthrob, Anichebe.
The show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, asked her about him and she said; “He is good. We are good. He is very busy. It’s sad we don’t get to spend Christmas together.” Revealing how they met, she said: “It was actually a setup. I was complaining of how I was going to be single forever to a stylist that I work with and she was like ‘Oh! my other client also complains of how he would be single forever. I was in New York at that time and she said I think you guys should just go for a coffee. I happened to be in London and he happened to be in London and we went for coffee and the rest is history.” When Victor met Florence, he lost his head and his heart.
Lest you begin to think that he lost his mind, the footballer did not slip into psychosis rather he fell head over heels in love with Florence. Thus soon after they encountered each other and struck a blissful friendship, Victor, like the proverbial triple pillar of the world, became DJ Cuppy’s version of the Aeolian Harp. Florence, like a practiced possessor and player of the Aeolian Harp, pulled at the strings of Victor’s heart. The effect was awesome. It excited in Victor spasms of pleasure and indescribable passion. However, their passionate encounter was hardly one-sided. He evenly excited strange impulses in Florence thus animating her in unusual ways and causing her to swoon over him even when she struggled not to. Their story reads like a passionate thesis on a classical verse of love.
