Nigerian disc jockey and philanthropist Florence Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy, has revealed that stepping away from football, particularly her emotional investment in Manchester United, has done wonders for her well-being.
The music star made the statement on her X handle on Thursday, August 28, after Manchester United suffered a shocking Carabao Cup elimination at the hands of Grimsby Town, a fourth-division side. In her post, she wrote:
“See as I just come fresh since I stopped watching football and stressing over Man Utd.”

Cuppy, who famously switched allegiance from Arsenal to Manchester United in 2020 due to Arsenal’s poor form, now appears to be distancing herself from football altogether. Her support for the Red Devils has waned in recent years, mirroring the club’s inconsistent performances and growing frustrations among fans.
The tweet has sparked lively reactions online, with many fans relating to the emotional toll of supporting underperforming teams. Others praised Cuppy for prioritising her peace of mind, noting that football heartbreak is a shared experience among Premier League followers.
Her lighthearted jab at Manchester United also reignites the conversation around celebrity fandom and how public figures navigate loyalty in sports culture.
