DJ Cuppy Claps Back at Age Critics: “I’m 32, Not Fossilized!”
DJ Cuppy is not here for the unsolicited opinions about her age. The billionaire heiress and popular disc jockey recently took to social media to express her frustration after being labeled “old” at just 32.
The conversation started after several netizens suggested that she should settle down and get married, arguing that she’s “not getting any younger.” This kind of talk is something women, especially in the public eye, often face once they hit their 30s. But Cuppy wasn’t having it.
In response, she sarcastically called out the ridiculousness of the age-shaming.
“I am 32 years old, and some people are calling me old,” she wrote. “If that is the case, what are we calling people in their 40s? Prehistoric? Fossilized? Nawa.”
Her clapback quickly gained traction online, sparking discussions about how society unfairly pressures women to follow a certain timeline—especially when it comes to marriage and settling down. Fans flooded her comments, showing support and echoing her sentiments. Many pointed out that age should never define a person’s worth, success, or happiness.
Breaking the Age Stereotypes
DJ Cuppy has always been known for living life on her own terms. Whether it’s her thriving career as a DJ, her achievements in philanthropy, or her academic pursuits—including earning a Master’s degree from Oxford University—she has continuously broken stereotypes about what a woman "should" be doing at a certain age.
This isn’t the first time she has addressed societal pressures. In the past, she has openly spoken about the expectations placed on her as a woman, particularly as someone from a wealthy and influential family. Despite these pressures, Cuppy has remained unapologetically herself, prioritizing her own happiness and journey.
Her recent comments also bring attention to the double standards in how men and women are treated regarding age. While men in their 30s and 40s are often seen as being in their “prime,” women are frequently judged for not being married or having children by a certain age.
Living Life on Her Own Terms
Despite the chatter, DJ Cuppy remains focused on her career and passions. From headlining major music festivals to expanding her charity work through the Cuppy Foundation, she continues to make an impact in multiple industries.
For Cuppy, age is just a number—it doesn’t define her accomplishments, her future, or her worth. And if anyone still thinks being in your 30s means you’re “old,” well, she’s got one question for them: What are we calling people in their 40s then?
One thing is clear: DJ Cuppy isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
