Omoba Kenneth Aigbegbele a respected media consultant, human rights advocate, and former adviser to ex-First Lady Patience Jonathan has publicly declared his intent to marry Florence “DJ Cuppy” Otedola.
However, his bold offer comes with a firm, non-negotiable clause: both Cuppy and her billionaire father, Femi Otedola, must sign a “submissiveness” agreement affirming traditional marital roles.
“I believe in mutual respect in marriage,” said Aigbegbele during a media chat. “
But as a true African man, she must acknowledge me as the head of the family. I will love and protect her, but that foundation is essential.”
Aigbegbele, who holds multiple postgraduate degrees and leads the Silverdoors Communication Group alongside advocacy bodies like CWAI and GOCMEJ, insists his interest in DJ Cuppy is based on deep admiration and longterm reflection not her wealth or fame.
“I have watched her over the years. After discussing with my family, I’m ready to give her the true African love she’s been looking for,” he stated confidently.
Though unmarried, Aigbegbele is a father and describes himself as a life-experienced man ready for lasting commitment.
His declaration comes amid DJ Cuppy’s recent openness about wanting to find genuine love away from the spotlight.
“I’m not doing this for publicity. I’m serious. But tradition matters,” he added, emphasizing his desire for Otedola’s formal approval of the arrangement.
Social media reactions have been swift and divided.
While some hail the proposal as a symbol of enduring cultural values, others criticize it as outdated, questioning whether love should come with contractual terms, especially one so steeped in patriarchal expectations.
As public curiosity intensifies, all eyes are now on DJ Cuppy.
Will she embrace this power move wrapped in tradition? Or will she stick to her modern ideals of love and independence?
