On Nigeria’s 58th year of Independence, October 1, 2018, DJ Cuppy innocently celebrated the feat the country had achieved with a tweet that reads,
‘today, we experience the joy and pride of being called NIGERIANS! The greatest nation’.
As simple and harmless as the tweet is, it sadly didn’t go down well with a lot of Nigerians on Twitter as it even infuriated them leading them to come at her from all angles…

… particularly starting with @kingwole who did a thread to address Cuppy’s ‘insensitivity’.

What has Dj Cuppy done to deserve all these hate? Is it a crime to be born into a rich family?

I'm really sick and tired of people who use every tiny opportunity to insult and say mean things to Cuppy and her sister because they are privileged kids… it's not their fault.
Buckle up so your kids can live privileged lives too.
It's really disgusting

Wonder if cuppy is the only one that wished Nigeria well? But uno you shit heads must always attack her like she’s the originator of your problems.

Lol. You people consistently want Cuppy to apologise for her privileged background.

You guys should let Cuppy leave abeg. If she had criticized Nigeria, you will still be the ones saying she is not doing anything to make it better.
