UK YouTube star and BMX rider Ryan Taylor has broken his silence more than two years after calling off his engagement to Nigerian billionaire heiress and DJ/entrepreneur DJ Cuppy (Florence Otedola).
The revelation, made during a recent episode of the “Ladders Podcast”, lifts the lid on what went wrong, and what the British influencer learned from the relationship.
The podcast confession
During a recent appearance on the Ladders Podcast, Taylor made several pointed comments about his former partner’s attitude toward Nigeria and Nigerian staff.
“Is it weird that I told you that she[Cuppy] didn’t like Nigerians. She came into my business and didn’t even want Nigerian staff,” the 32-year-old said, before adding: “I’ll just say that I never signed no NDA, no contract, no nothing. I wasn’t with all that. To be honest, what I got from that [relationship] was lessons. All I got from that was learnings.”
He concluded:
“Everything that happens, happens for a reason. But the time that I met her … it was something that needed to happen. But do I regret it? No. Lesson learned. Next!”
When pressed on the podcast about the ultimate lesson learned from the brief engagement, Taylor said: “I learned that money is not everything, but not having it is.”
