Before carving a niche for themselves in the entertainment industry, these celebrities were already born into wealth, way before they started earning their own millions. This week, Weekend Magazine takes a look at some Nigerian celebrities born with a silver spoon.
Davido

DJ Cuppy
Perhaps one of the most popular female disc jockey’s in Nigeria is Florence Otedola or DJ Cuppy. But before making big bucks for herself in the music scene, she was already born to the affluent family of Femi Otedola, the chairman of Forte Oil and it goes without saying, she was already very comfortable before becoming what we know her today as, DJ Cuppy.
