“Thoughts Count, But So Do Bills”: DJ Cuppy turns down suitor for being financially unstable
Nigerian billionaire heiress and disc jockey DJ Cuppy is once again trending after her candid response to a romantic admirer stirred mixed reactions online.
The 30-something-year-old entertainer, who has publicly expressed her desire to find a good Christian husband, received a heartfelt message from a man in her DMs.
The suitor confessed his lack of financial stability but offered his unconditional love and admiration, saying:
“I’m not financially stable but I’ll love to be your boyfriend and treat you like the sweet and wonderful Queen you are.. please think about it. I love you.”
Cuppy’s response, while polite, didn’t mince words:
“Aww the thought definitely counts but, unfortunately so do bills..”
Her reply instantly sparked a flurry of comments online. While many praised her honesty and practicality, others called her out for seemingly contradicting her previous public wish for a loving partner regardless of status.
Some fans defended her, arguing that financial compatibility is a necessary factor in any relationship, especially when one partner comes from wealth. Others, however, felt she may have missed out on someone with genuine intentions.
Cuppy, known for her vibrant personality, philanthropy, and high-profile family background as the daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola, has often been vocal about the challenges of dating as a successful woman.
So far, she hasn’t responded to the ongoing online debate—but one thing’s for sure: DJ Cuppy knows her worth and isn’t afraid to say it out loud.
