Popular celebrity, DJ Cuppy has come out to say that she has been rejected so many times as a career woman.

She recently revealed this on Twitter, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to her, for every 1 yes she has ever received during her career, she has gotten 9 Nos as well, so it has been a very rough journey.

She added that the rejections have even been too much that she has actually gotten used to it, but it won’t stop her from trying and pushing harder.

Her words, ”Lemme tell you a secret, for every achievement and YES you’ve seen in my career there’s about 9 NO’s. My rejection rate is very high, but I’m now used to it… This never bruises my ego nor stops my dreams, because I am a fighter and believe in destiny.”

“I REALLY want you to understand this and learn from me- STOP waiting for things to happen; MAKE them happen. You don’t ask, you don’t get.”

WOW.
