“Plenty Suitors, Zero Spelling Skills” – Cuppy Mocks Admirers Flooding Her DMs

In a hilarious yet brutally honest post, billionaire heiress and celebrity disc jockey, Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy, has thrown subtle jabs at the multitude of suitors flooding her direct messages, exposing their glaring spelling blunders while trying to woo her. The internet went wild after the pink-loving entertainer shared a playful but biting remark about the quality of grammar from her DM admirers, setting off a wave of mixed reactions across social media.

Known for her playful personality, Cuppy has often opened up about her love life—or the lack thereof—with humorous self-deprecating posts asking God for a husband. But this time, she took a slight detour from seeking to finding amusement in the barrage of love interests who seem more interested in her wealth than in brushing up their vocabulary. In a tweet that quickly gained traction, she wrote:

“Making it big… but mother of Dúdú and FünFün, no husband, with plenty suitors in my DMs and none can even spell Pomeranian 😭🐾”

The comment, dripping with sarcasm, highlights her frustration not just with being single, but with the kind of attention she receives from men who can’t even correctly spell the breed of her beloved dogs, Dúdú and FünFün—her famous Pomeranians often seen across her social media pages. Her witty jab sparked an immediate response from followers, fans, and critics alike, with many either defending her right to be selective or accusing her of being unnecessarily picky and elitist.

One user, @v_ogbunugafor, didn't mince words, firing back with, “There are no suitors in your DM but Golddiggers!”—suggesting that the majority of the men vying for her heart are more interested in her billionaire father’s fortune than in genuine love. Meanwhile, @TheDamiForeign offered a tongue-in-cheek reply: “You still Dey check spelling, you never ready seh,” mocking the idea that proper spelling should be a criteria for finding true love.

Another comment came from @JoelDiamond10 who claimed, perhaps jokingly, that Cuppy already has someone in her life: “I believe Cuppy just catching cruise with all of this. She has a man in her life promising to marry her but she doesn’t want the world to know about it—just her family members. And the crazy part is, that man is ME 😎” The cheeky response added a touch of humor to the buzzing comment section.

However, not all reactions were in jest. A more direct and slightly controversial comment came from @JP_CEO1 who wrote, “Good evening, DJ. How are you? Your sister is married. Why are you not? Maybe I’ll divorce my wife to marry you.” The message, while perhaps intended as a compliment, stirred discomfort among readers, some of whom saw it as a distasteful and disrespectful remark towards both women involved.

The tweet quickly went viral, with many sharing screenshots of the post and weighing in on the complicated world of modern dating—especially when fame and fortune are involved. Some users defended Cuppy’s stance, arguing that literacy and communication skills should matter in a relationship, especially when the person being pursued is a public figure with international reach and a high-profile background.

This isn’t the first time DJ Cuppy has opened up about the shortcomings in her dating life. Despite her popularity, global brand deals, and a wealthy lineage—being the daughter of Nigerian oil mogul Femi Otedola—Cuppy has often lamented about how difficult it is to find genuine love. She previously made headlines during her breakup with British boxer Ryan Taylor, a relationship that many fans believed was heading toward marriage. Since the split, she has remained single and relatively private about her love life, except for the occasional social media post about being unmarried.

Her humorous takes on being single have become a recurring theme that many women—especially career-driven ones—relate to. However, her recent post also reflects a growing issue in the age of digital courtship: the disconnect between expectations and the reality of dating, particularly when fame is involved. As a woman who has traveled the world, earned a master's degree from Oxford University, and built her brand from scratch, it's no surprise that Cuppy values intelligence and presentation, even in text messages from admirers.

Interestingly, some fans pointed out that the DJ’s tweet might have been a strategic way to filter out unserious individuals. “Maybe she’s using this to weed out the lazy ones. If you can’t spell Pomeranian, you can’t raise kids with her,” one user remarked. Others suggested she should consider turning off her DMs or hiring a “grammar screener” to help her avoid further disappointment.

Despite the backlash and the flurry of jokes, DJ Cuppy has not retracted her statement or responded to any of the comments. As of now, the tweet remains up, standing as both a public service announcement and a subtle flex about her standards. Some might call it petty, others empowering—but one thing is certain: Cuppy is not lowering the bar just to get a ring.

Whether or not she’s genuinely frustrated, looking for love, or just having fun online, Cuppy continues to prove that she’s unafraid to speak her mind and poke fun at the situations she finds herself in. Her blend of humor and honesty has kept her at the center of social media conversations, and fans will no doubt keep watching to see what she says—or spells—next.

As the debate continues to swirl around her now-viral statement, one can only wonder if this light-hearted shade will push potential suitors to double-check their grammar before hitting send. For DJ Cuppy, it seems that proper spelling might just be the new love language.
