Ryan Taylor, British boxer and former fiancé of Nigerian music star DJ Cuppy (Florence Otedola), has opened up about reasons behind their failed engagement, which ended in 2023. Speaking candidly on the “Ladders Podcast,” Taylor revealed that one of the major issues was Cuppy’s attitude towards Nigerians, claiming she “didn’t like Nigerians” and discouraged him from employing Nigerian staff in his business.
Taylor recounted that during their relationship, Cuppy showed discomfort with Nigerians recognizing her in public, which created distance between them. Despite their whirlwind romance and engagement after just 25 days of meeting, inconsistencies in values and cultural differences strained the relationship. Taylor reflected on the experience as a learning opportunity, saying he does not regret it but recognizes the importance of cultural alignment.
The engagement, much celebrated initially, ended with public signs of tension, including unfollowing each other on social media and indirect comments. DJ Cuppy has since framed the breakup as part of her personal growth journey, emphasizing unpredictability in life.
This revelation sparks conversations about cultural sensitivities and personal values in high-profile relationships within the Nigerian entertainment landscape.
