Nigerian disc jockey and producer, Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, professionally known as DJ Cuppy has said she had one of the worst years of her life last year because she didn’t say “No” often.
She particularly, regretted not saying “No” to her estranged fiance, Ryan Taylor.
Speaking at a recent function abroad, DJ Cuppy said she has now realised that it’s okay to say “No.”
In DJ Cuppy’s words:
“One of the things I have learned is saying no. I had one of the worst years of my life last year because I couldn’t say no. I didn’t say no to opportunities that I should have said no to. I didn’t say no to a fiancé I should’ve said no to. I didn’t say no to taking things on.
“I was at the BBC; I had a morning breakfast show, then I was DJing, i was planning a wedding, I was in Oxford University. I burnt myself out. And none of us are either good to ourselves or other people when we burnt out. So, we have to deal with that guilt that comes with saying no. It’s okay to say no.”
