- In a podcast chat, Taylor claimed the billionaire heiress didn’t like Nigerians and refused to work with Nigerian staff
- The British BMX rider also said he learned a hard truth from the relationship to the Nigerian entertainer
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, 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 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.”
Cuppy later threw a cryptic jab on X (formerly Twitter), writing:
“I never run into my ex’s… They can’t afford to be where I be without me.”
Taylor didn’t hold back, replying in the comments:
“Neither can you .”
