DJ CUPPY – VERY INFLUENTIAL LADY!

I wrote a sarcastic piece last week in this column seeking her hand in marriage as a light-hearted banter on her birthday. She saw the piece and commented on it on her Twitter handle and before you knew it, I had become the most talked about personality on social media. The Duke of Shomolu was everywhere on the net o, from Nairaland, to Stella Dimoko, all of them. These millennials abused me, praised me, laughed at me. In fact if you think I am joking, just Google Duke of Shomolu you will see what will come out. My teenage daughter, Chantal, sef came out at me to leave DJ Cuppy alone that she is too beautiful for me. My son called all the way, sharing the same sentiment. One blog even described me as ‘a man of importance…. Being the 115th to the throne of England, that one no get sense, he no understand sarcasm. My people I enjoyed my five minutes in the limelight. People were stopping me on the road and asking, is it you Duke of Shomolu and I would smile and say it is me o. I am the one o. Come and see fight on another blog. Some people said I was being rude to Cuppy, others said that If I was bold enough to propose to Cuppy then I was a man’s man. In all these Duchess was very quiet and when she is like that, na wahala. So I carefully got home like midnight hoping she would have finished watching her Yoruba films and fast asleep. Na lie o. Immediately I walked in, na Cuppy picture I see. Enlarged. So you want to marry Otedola pikin, because of diesel money, all the one you have done is not enough, it is this small girl you want to bring to this house. I try explain that it was sarcasm, she refused to listen. She said that, that is how it starts from sarcasm to kiss. The girl is yellow, the girl is fine and her papa get money, what sarcasm? I explained that this girl is a little bit older than our daughter Chantal na. She said didn’t Ojukwu marry Bianca after attending her naming ceremony, that I should say something else. Well, my people na car I sleep that day and will be sleeping there until I call Cuppy and put her on speaker and tell her that I don’t want to marry her. Mbok, where will I see Cuppy number as mosquito is killing me here o. See where sarcasm has landed me. Meanwhile, mbok don’t show Duchess this piece. Cuppy, I think you are a very beautifully talented, well brought up girl and God will continue to bless you. I really would like for my son to marry you but he is just 17 and only interested in his paintings and not girls - need to do a DNA on him. Belatedly, I would say, happy birthday. Let me invite you to my play, OBA ESHUGBAYI, coming up this December at the Muson Center you can come on any of the three days. It’s playing 23, 24 and 25. I have four VIP tickets for you, come with your boyfriend so that I can introduce both of you to Duchess if malaria no go don kill me by then.
