Popular Nigerian DJ and singer Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, professionally known as DJ Cuppy, has announced a temporary break from social media as she embarks on a 21-day biblical fast.

The entertainer shared the update via her Instagram Stories, explaining that the decision was intentional and rooted in her desire to reconnect spiritually at the start of the new year.

According to DJ Cuppy, stepping away from social media will allow her to focus, reflect, and dedicate uninterrupted time to God, especially following events and criticisms she has experienced in recent weeks.

She acknowledged that staying offline would be unusual for her, given her consistent online presence and daily engagement with fans. However, she noted that the fast requires discipline, quietness, and reduced distractions, making a social media break necessary.

“This season requires focus,” she wrote, adding that the decision was driven by personal conviction rather than public pressure. “I need time for myself and time being hidden with God.”

Reassuring fans who might worry about her absence, DJ Cuppy emphasized that she is doing well and encouraged supporters not to panic. She added that although the break feels unfamiliar, she is committed to completing the 21-day fast and plans to return refreshed and spiritually renewed.

The announcement sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans praising her choice to prioritise spiritual and emotional wellbeing, while others shared lighthearted takes on taking breaks from social media.
