British YouTuber and BMX rider Ryan Taylor has opened up about his short-lived engagement to Nigerian DJ and billionaire heiress Florence Otedola, better known as DJ Cuppy.
This is coming more than two years after their split.
Speaking on the Ladders Podcast, the 32-year-old influencer made a series of revelations about the dynamics of his relationship with Cuppy and why it didn’t work out.
Taylor, who got engaged to the daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola in December 2022 after just 25 days of dating.
He alleged that Cuppy had a dismissive attitude toward Nigerians, especially in professional settings.
He stated: “Is it weird that I told you she didn’t like Nigerians? She came into my business and didn’t even want Nigerian staff."
Taylor added that he never signed any non-disclosure agreement or contract during their time together, insisting that he walked away from the relationship with nothing but “learnings.”
He said: “To be honest, what I got from that was lessons. Everything that happens, happens for a reason. But do I regret it? No. Lesson learned. Next!”
Pressed further about what he truly learned from the experience, Taylor offered a quote that has since caught fans’ attention:
“I learned that money is not everything, but not having it is.”
Cuppy and Taylor’s engagement made headlines in December 2022, with the DJ showing off her engagement ring shortly after meeting him during the Gumball 3000 rally.
However, by mid-2023, eagle-eyed fans noticed the couple had unfollowed each other on Instagram, fueling rumours of a split.
Taylor subtly confirmed the tension when he posted a selfie captioned, “If it’s blocking your spiritual growth, let it go.”
“Dj Cuppy doesn't like Nigerians. She didn't want me to have Nigerian staffs, I don’t regret my relationship with her, I have just learnt my lessons”
