Speaking about her very rich and popular family, Temi Otedola was first asked about how it is to be sisters with popular names in Nigerian music: Tolani and DJ Cuppy. To that, Temi Otedola responded:

TEMI OTEDOLA: It’s amazing to be in the midst of such a creative family as we all under- stand what it means to be in the entertainment industry and are able to support each other on our various projects. I’m so lucky to have 2 older sisters who support every endeavour I find myself in, and we all try to be of service to each other.It’s

Then, when asked about her father Femi Otedola and how being a billionaire’s daughter has influenced her approach to work, Temi Otedola spoke about him and the important lessons she's learned about money from her father saying:

TEMI OTEDOLA: My father has been the greatest inspiration for what it means to be an entrepreneur. Watching him through the various stages of his career, I have learned so many lessons that I could write a book. I’ve seen the highs and lows of running a business and what it takes to reach a certain level of success, from the relentless hard work to the sleepless nights at the office. However, I think the most important thing I’ve learned from him is that sometimes successful people are simply those who never give up after constant rejection, gaining everything and then losing everything after they face a crisis almost every day at work - they simply never gave up.
