Nigerian disc jockey Florence Otedola, better known by her stage as DJ Cuppy, claims that because she didn’t say “No” enough last year, it was one of the worst years of her life.
In particular, she felt guilty for not telling her fiance, Ryan Taylor, “No.”
DJ Cuppy stated she had come to the realization that it’s acceptable to say “No” during a recent event held overseas.
She said, “One of the things I have learned is saying no. I had one of the worst years of my life last year because I couldn’t say no. I didn’t say no to opportunities that I should have said no to. I didn’t say no to a fiancé I should’ve said no to. I didn’t say no to taking things on.
“I was at the BBC; I had a morning breakfast show, then I was DJing, i was planning a wedding, I was in Oxford University. I burnt myself out. And none of us are either good to ourselves or other people when we burnt out. So, we have to deal with that guilt that comes with saying no. It’s okay to say no.”
Less than seven months after their unexpected engagement in November 2022, Cuppy and Ryan called it quits in July 2023.
